BRITAIN'S BOND OFFER

of

MEETS A MORAL OBLIGATION

London, July 20.

The fate of hundreds of British investors in foreign securities, who lost up to four-fifths of their capital owing to devaluation of currencies, is vividly recalled by the Treasury dollar-security ex- change offer.

The offer concerns the issue of xold bonds to the value of G$250,- 000,000 in the United Staten in 1917 for the purchase of munitions by the British Government.

The terms of the issue stipulated that the interest and the principal were to be paid in gold dollars or in sterling at the option of the holders.

INTERESTING. REVELATIONS HAVE BEEN FORTHCOMING AS THE OUTCOME OF EN- QUIRIES REGARDING THE SOURCE OF THE POWERS TAKEN BY THE POLICE TO IMPOSE A UNIFORM CURFEW HOUR UPON LOCAL CABARETS.

The Telegraph now has reason to believe that such powers do not exist in the Ordinances of the Colony, that action has been taken in anticipation of Regula- tions now being drafted and the midnight closure is in operation, not as the result of an order, but.of a specific request by the police with which the proprietors have seen fit to comply.

It is well-known that provisions for licensing dancing establishments will form part of the proposed regulations, and it is suggested that this knowledge has No been the most influential factor in securing the acquiescence of the cabarets in the curfew request.
