The directors trust the shareholders will as prove of the proposed transfer of the sum of $20,000 to meet part of

GOVERNMENT'S NEW BILLA

'MR. HUTTINDACH'S CRITICISM.

TO KEGULATE The Import anD EXPORT OF COIN,

•

The date of the memorandum of objects and reasons by the Altorory General is July sth. therefore, since that is nearly eight Wekssume the the theasure has been referred to the Home authorities, and has received the sanction of the Colonial Office and of the Treasury. The objects and reasons are stated as follows. T

1. This. Bill is introduced to enable the Government to carry out the recommendations of the Currency Commission.

er i enhibit the importation of any kind 2. It gives the Governor in Council full of coin into the Colony, as well as the exporta. tion of any coins which are legal tender in the Colony.

3. There are the requisite penal provisions, including forfeiture of coin with respect to which an offence has been committed.

4: The provisions of "The Foreign Cain Prohibition Ordinance No 11 of 1891" have been inserted in the present Bill and that Or. dinance is repealed.

Now this somewhat colourless general des- cription of the bill by no means indicates the importance of the provisions to the commercial community. We therefore give a fuller precis of the provisions of the intended hill, especially ns they affect not only bankers and money changers, but also the general public.

The interpretation clause runs-For the purposes of this Ordinance the term "banker " shall mean any corporation carrying on the business of bankers or financial agente in the mean a person who carries on the business of Colony, and the term "money-changer" shall money-changing as his chief business.

The enacting clauses give the Governor in Council power (1) to prohibit the importation and or exportation of any coins, whether legal

tender within the Colony or not; (2) to pro hibit the circulation within the Colony of any coins being legal tender; (3) to exempt any country or state from the operation of (t), Oders of the Governor in Council issued to the above effect may be cinded or varied, the sole condition being such orders shall not come into force unpublished in the Government Gazette,

The penal clauses prescribe a fine not exceeding $1,coo, and forfeiture of the coin, for any importation or exportation of the specified coin to the nominal value of 55 in bronze or $25 in silver. The tribunal is a Bench Court (of two magistrates). If the coin has already been exported, its nominal value may be added to the fine. Licences per- mitting the importation or exportation may be issued under conditions, the penalty for the contravention of which conditions is placed at $1,000.

For circulating or attempting to circulate any prohibited coin the penalty is $25 and for- feiture of the coin.

But the meddling. with trade is likely to be greater and, because nobody is accustomed to such interference, it will be much resented and create a serious danger to trade. The freedom of the port, the utility of which freedom has always been ack-ON past, will be interfered with The interference nowledged and, so jealously guarded in the cannot but be harassing to the trade and the public. In the attempt to be effective, while not being able to be effective, it will become inore and more stringent.

All this would be analogous to the City alone trying to introduce a new Sovereign (the same weight and fineness as the present one, but to which an artificial value of 25/, was to be given) by prohibiting the import of the old Sovereign from the rest of London, the old Sovereign being worth zo- outside, and. near as inside the City. Smuggling could not under such cir the search of Customs Officers, not only to the cumstances be prevented, even if extending luggage but, to the very purses and persons of

And in the Straits smuggling would, from the nature of the locality, be easier, while there would be a vast number disposed towards it. A measure like prohibition, while the Native Sintes and Johere can be indifferent to it because they have not to rely on transit trade, might menn everything to the Straits. It might be.. come a great impediment, and mean risking its whole transit trade It is not as if customers could not get server elsewhere. There are nthers only too ready to serve them. Creating

such difficulties to their customers, the Straits will only have themselves to blame should hereafter some of the trade go past them. The Hinterland being included in the change would also avoid this risk,

1. This scheme cannot be effective unless the old currency is drained.

2. The old currency will not be drained if there is smuggling.

3. There is bound to be a premium for the old currency within the Colony, when its im port is prohibited.

4. If there is a premium either:-

(a) Smuggling is bound to take place, whe- ther the hinterland is included or not, leading to the old currency not being drained, ie, delay, or

() Such stringent measures wil have to be taken as to make smuggling impossible, which will interfere with the freedom of the port, ie, harm to trade. There will either be delay, or harm to trade, or both; the latter the most likely..

Other dangers, some impossible to foresee, arise out of the artificial position. The re stricted currency can be cornered. Under the position created, it may at times be impossible for Exchange Banks to get cover, Mercantile Bills might be unsealeable, lending to a stand- still of business..

This also only as regards the hinterland trade, the nature of which, It is submitted, had not ben made sufficiently clear to the Committee. In countries where the hinterland is included in the change, prohibition, could do no such harm, and where the hinterland is like in India a buge continent, it would even have passed most unperceived. But in the Straits where the changs would include only a part of the hinterland, the position will be found to be entirely different.
