Regulations issued by the British Ambassador under a China Order-in-Council prohibits British sub- jects "making payments in silver of the whole or any debt or other obligation" in contravention of the Chinese Government's new monetary decree.
Offenders, it is ruled, shall be liable to imprison- ment, with or without hard labour, for a period not exceeding three months, or a fine not exceeding £50, or both.-Reuter.
NO NEW CREDITS FOR CHINA
Shanghai, Nov. 4. The Manager of the Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation denied reports that new credits had been extended to China.
Nevertheless, the unofficial Japanese view is that the new currency regulations are highly suspicious. Many believe they indicate a new Anglo-Chinese financial understanding.-United Press. '
