Chinese produce became too dear in relation to world prices, exports fell off and silver had to be ex- ported to meet the adverse balance of trade. This, in turn, caused a contraction of credit and an acute deflationary crisis: prices began to fall, debts could not be met and the banks became more and more frozen, particularly in Shanghai where the collapse of the real estate boom created a special pro- blem. By October, 1934, the situa tion had become so serious that the Chinese Government imposed the a variable export tax on export of silver, thereby divorcing the Shanghai dollar from the But this free silver standard. measure, while it mitigated the extreme effects of the rise in silver. did nothing to remedy the dim- culties which that rise had already caused: and when 1 reached" Shanghal last September it was " evident that further positive mea- sures had to be evolved.
