INTOLERABLE

CURRENCY AT MERCY OF AMERICA'S WHIMS

Princetown, Mar. 10.

The prominent economist, Mr. Edwin Walter Kemmerer, former Professor of Economics of Prince- town University, in an interview with the United Press to-day, said that China's adoption of a managed currency would probably lead to the establishment of some form of gold standard.

He said that the United States silver policy had forced China to practically abandon silver, through the heavy export taxes and other restrictions.

Also, he said that there would most probably be a great slump in silver when the United States pur- chasing policy is discontinued, "resulting in the ac- cumulated hoards of silver in our vaults threatening to be thrown back on the market, and therefore over- hang the silver market as India's large reserves have been doing in recent years."

"ASIA"

Continuing, Mr. Kemmerer sald: "The preacat rise in silver is strongly pushing up the value of money in China and lowering commodity prices in China, thus Chinose people and (damaging China's exports.
