Justification for this condemnatton has been furnished by Germany's attitude to- wards the evacuation of Sha: ghai by the Allied Forces, The Yangise agreement was con- cluded as a sop to Germany for her non-inter- vention in the 'per war.

But it has, however, rever been clearly defined how far Germany cou'd go under the agreement, and the Foreign Office does nút know what to do. Hence Sir Ernest Salow's visit The conference would not have been necessary but for the extreme carelessness with which the Yangtse Convention was drawn up and the great buste in which it was con- cuded and published in London and Berlin.

There was a time, we believe, when that figure was seriously thought of; but far more than a year the market. rate had been steady in the sear neighbourhood of one and fourpence and that was the rate finally agreed upon. Sir Edward Sassonn is mistaken in representing the policy of closing the mints as a tentative p.dicy. This most emphatically is what it is no. Not only was there not a single member of this very represen. tative Committee who was prepared to re- commend a return to open mints, but they were unanimous in recommending that step: shou'd be taken to prevent all possibility" of deubt as to the determination of the Covert. ment of India nut to go back to a silver standard.

Will he endeavour to negotiate a new agreement with Germany, or will he leave it to the British Minister in Pekin to check and thwart as he can German designs and schernes based upon the privileges given in the Convention of 1900? The matter is strikingly important for manu- facturing England Great confidence may be felt in Sir E.

THE DOWNFALL OF SILVER. We have had to chronicle day after day of late the establishment of a "record in Silver, remarks the Times of India. The price is now below twenty-one pence an ounce, and there

are no signs even yet that the bottom price has been reached, though the Spretator, in its airy way, assures us that it does not matter if there

is yet a greater fall, and that the world will survive even if silver should decline to a shilling an ouace. For various reasons we, in India, cannot be as indifferent as that to fortune of a metal in which this country still has an enormous interest although the impact of the fall that has already taken place has been sensibly reduced by a policy which has "switched off" the former connection between our currency, and at all events a considerable portion of our trade, and the market price of the while methi. So large a portion of the wealth of the people consists in silver that these daily deteriorations in its value involve a steady dimiquition in their possessions. It is possible that this may lead in time to a 'change in the national habits-that natives of India may seek some other merium for hoarding their realized wealth than a metal which is no longer precious. But on that point prophecy would be as risky as it would be unprofitable Our principal reason for dealing with the question to-day is that the present time, when silver has again entered upon the stage of catastrophic decline, has been chosen by those who distrus! the currency policy that has been pursued during the last nine years for making a renewed affirmation of the belief in silver as a currency standard.. One, indeed, of the critics of that policy has so far recognized that the times are against a frank reversal of the measures taken in 1893 and 1899 as to accompany, a suggestion for an inquiry into -the effects of that legislation with the condition that there is to be no question of re-opening the Mints.

Sir Edward Sassoon, in bis reference to the question during the adjourned debate on the Indian Budget, echoed some of the arguments against the present currency system with which our readers have been made familiar during the past year, or so. But the state of the silver market, and the terror of a rupee in the neighbourhood of eight pence have made a deeper impression upon his mind than they seem to have done upon Mr. R. H. Elliot and some of those who listened to his paper before the East India Association last month on the economic effects of recent Indian Currency legislation. Mr. Elliot, indeed, had something. short of the courage of bis convictious, for as we understand his argument he does not seem to have ventured upon recommending that the currency of India should once more be placed. entirely at the mercy of the silver market.
