Washington, Feb. 28.

However, official circles refuse to discuss the matter.

In reliable quarters it is stated that officialdom re- grets China's financial difficulties, particularly any in- jury which may be attributed to the United States silver policy. In view of the suggestion that America's silver programme is forcing China into the hands of

Meanwhile, reports from London state that the British Control Fund is playing the part of an onlooker. Sterling declined during the day under pressure of Continental withdrawals.
