THE CURRENCY QUESTION IN ANDO-CHINA.

The section of the Paris press devoted to colonial Interests is renewing the question of the fixation of the dollar in Indo-China. We (L'Avenir du Tonkin) wish briefly to show the dificulties which must be faced in the attempt to solve this knotty problem. Can we in the Far East with a silver curuncy conveniently regulate our accounts with the nations that bave adopte 1 gold standard? In other words, monty, or to speak more nitictly, the value of silver in constantly fluctuating and officials and set lord frequently suffer heavily by exchunge when silver is depreciated. Our local budgets also, computed to francs and dollars, are baset with the very greatest difficulties.

The commission appointed in 1902 to study the monetary situation in Indo-China definitely decided in favour of establishing the Indo Chinese budgets in francs. This, however, was but a partial solution of the question, 41 although it would have protected the budgets against the fluctuation of the dollar, the monetary, system of the country would have bees left unchanged. As a matter of fact, the creditors of the Administraties might have sullenly submitted to the caprices of exchange, Steam Launch of Steel or. Wood, Lighters, Steel Buildings and Roofs, Bridge but the taxpayers, constantly penalised by its Work, and all kinds of Machinery are made on the premes

fluctuation, must have regarded the partial remedy with great disfavour, Despite thes Tenders will be made up when required and the workmanship and material will be difficulties, however, and the additional burden guaranteed.

Two powerful Twin Screw Towboats ars available for taking Vessels in-or-out of Dock, and for taking Sailing Vessels in-or out of the bay. The floating derrick is capable

of lifting 35 tons,

China. If Japan had adopted a gold standard, it would have been due solely to the fact that nho bad received a large iadempity from 'China. We could not reckon upon such a possibility. As to India, we'have' already shewn in an article which was published in this paper some months ago, the sacrifices India had to makei (the demonetisation of a large accumulation of rupees, suspension of the coinage of silver, ♬ and the establishment of a large reserve of gold) to maintain its exchange at a fixed rate. Also it must be confessed, the fixation of the rupes has not yielded all the results that were anticipated, and was the cause of a commercial crisis in several of the most important towns of India..

TO SAIL

As for ourselves who do not benefit by the economic situation of India, the solution of the problem is much more complex. To fix the dollar seems a simple affair, but it means giv ing to a coin which in the Far East has only an intrinsic value, a commercial value, a fidu- ciary value, that is to say a value which re- quires a guarantee for its circulation. Neither would the constitution of a 'reserve of gold solve the problem. This gold, put into cop- tinuous circulation, could not fail to be speed- lly used up. Then we should fall back into the status quo ante. To our mind there is but one radical solution of the question; that i the creation of a monetary union in the Far East into which all the countries of the Far Bait and all the nations having interest in those regions would enter. By the formation of this monetary union, the circulation and Į THURSDAY,

the fixation of the value of silver at a rate to Noon, 12th Jul 1997. be determined, would be guaranteed. With- out doubt this innovation contains many ques tions of detail which each state would have to. settle for itself. But it would probably ba even more easy to solve, the many problems relating to the currency in Indo-China than to
