In the House of Commone it was suggested during question time that wages should be paid in silver in order to economise gold, also that half-sovereigns should be withdrawn from circalation. Swatow, Amoy & Foochow Per HAI- Linhay: Miss Howard, MF Ezra, O Tab Johang

Another proposal was that no passenger going to the Continent ehould be allowed to Lave gold.

Mr. McKenna, Chancellor of the Exchequer, replied that he was carefully considering the whole question. He was desirous of avoiding the appearance of interfering with the free commercial export of geld, which was essential to the maintenance of our credit, but there would be closer supervision of Channel passengers, and be advised travellers to exchange, their British currency before leaving Great Brit ia.
