This would seem to above quoted declares that the standard shall imply that it is contemplated at some future time to introduce a gold standard. Indeed, an earlier Decres, of October 5, 1908, laid down that after standardizing the silver currency China should then carefully proceed to take measures for a further advance with a view to assuring the adoption of a gold standard in the future. For the time being, however it would seem that the idea has wisely been abandoned. China has yet a long way to travel before sho can even think of establishing a gold standard. It will take her, in our estimation, a good many years before even a silver enrrency is established. Nevertheless, it is a bold forward move, and we wish her every success.
