EMBARGO ON EXPORTS MAY BE ENFORCED

· Shanghai, Nov. 3.

While some foreign banks are prepared to turn over their silver resources to the Chinese Government, following the nationalisation of the metal, this de- cision is by no means unanimous. Many banks feel they are entitled to, secure London silver prices for their holdings.

The opinion prevails that outstanding contracts in exchange can be taken at the rates previously arranged, but the bank depositors have to accept notes in future instead of silver dollars.

An interesting point is what will happen to the note issues of the foreign banks, for which full silver re- serves are held locally.

An embargo on the export of silver is believed likely if foreign bankers and others do not agree

to abide by the Government's de

cision regarding the nationalisa-

tion of silver.

The terms of the Government's decreo include the following:

"Payment of all taxes and dis charge of all public and private obligations shall be effected by legal tender notes.

"The using of silver dollars or bullion for currency purposes will be prohibited-and-any-contraven-- tion of this provision will be punishable by confiscation of the whole amount of silver seized.

"Any individual found in the Illegal possession of silver shall be punished in accordance with the law governing acts of treason against the nition..
