"The decision to adopt the yen as the unit of exchange in all commercial transactions was made by the directors of the powerful

Japanese Commercial Association on Monday, after a three-hour discussion.

Japanese banks here and in Hankow have also agreed to allow temporary current accounts in yen. The movement, according to the "Shanghai Nichi-Nicht, has, also spread to Hankow, where the Japanese traders are negotiating with consular officials and banks to adopt the "yen standard." The system has been used with com- parative success in Tsingtao.

The decision to appraise goods in stores in yen, rather than the Chinese dollars, has been caused, according to Japanese papers, by the recent violent fluctuations in the Tokyo-Shanghai cross rate and the sudden enforcement" of the currency reforms. Inion News.

There is another prevalent error which can only have issued from the neglect of history. The state ment is frequently heard to-day that Herr Hitler has "Put the clock back." What is meant, of course, is that he has repudiated those principles of liberty which some people had imagined were henceforth going_to": direct the affairs of mankind. But has he really put the clock back? The Germany of the Fuehrer is surely not so much revolutionary aberra- tions as reversions to type. It was the foregoing democracies, if any- thing, which were revolutionary in that they were out of accord with historical evolution.
