In Hongkong the vagaries of the dollar no longer form the sole topic of conversation.

Anderson's remarks, and the recovery fol lowed on a closer scrutiny of his speech. The probability is that the speculators arrived at the idea that the fixity of the dollar had been decided upon by the Government, and that the exchange value would be percep tibly below ruling figures, although in that case the Government would be in the posi tion of coining dollars, which were intrinsi cally more valuable than their face value. The Philippines Government found them--| selves in such a quandary not very long ago, and had to adopt urgent measures to safe guard themselves and the colonists. John Anderson explicitly stated that he was not in a position to make any statement on the subject, and in the disturbed condition of political affairs in Great Britain it is ex- tremely unlikely that the Straits Government, or any other dependency where the dollar exists as currency, will determine the ex change value until the new Ministry has per 100 received its direct mandate from the electors.
