I am strongly of opinion that Government should undertake it, when exchange rises to the neighbourhood of say 2/- if it does

so in the near future. Of course all objections would be removed

if it were believed that the dollar is now about what it will

be for a good while to come.

These are the points which occur to me:

if you or His Excellency have anything further to enquire about

I shall be glad to furnish the information.

On the whole considering the present rate

of exchange I see no objection to the Mercantile Bank obtaining the right of note issue, as their local issue would not much

more prejudice a Government issue later on.
