Male Financial Heasure (a) Embargo on

foort of l'ongy

Then a general strike is combined with a nation-wide

boycott, the financial effecte are not much less than those

of an international war and partial blockade. It is not eur-

prising therefore that the financial structure of Hongkong

broke down under this double strain. While the Strike paralysed

the banking activities of the Chinese, the Boycott struck at

the community as a whole.

68. The European banks were able to meet the storm, and ulti-

mately to afford considerable assistance to the Chinese native

banks. The first effect of the disturbance was the heavy with-

drawal from the Chinese banks of notes and specie, which began

to leave the dolony. On the 22nd June, the Government issued a preclamation prohibiting the export of gold and silver coins in amounts exceeding $5, and gold and silver bullion; and also

bank-notes of every description in amounts exceeding $5. Al-

though many bank-notes of large denomination were smuggled out,

this messure did succeed in cheekmating the systematic and or- ganized attempt of Canton to drain the Colony of its currency, and, if possible, te cause wholesale failure of the Chinese banks. Even at that time confidence in the foreign banks was

apparently unshaken, for Hongkong bank-notes were being taken out of the Colony instead of being presented for encashment. The angry comments of the Canton Press on this action snowed how disappointed our enemy was.
