PEACE STRUGGLE

MR. BALDWIN ON

EUROPE'S DANGER

London, Nov. 8.

The Prime-Minister, in a speech, _at_Looda omphasised. Again the. 'Government's decision to do all in its power through the League of Nations to bring peace in the world. When peace came bo hoped it would come before too much harm was done. They would have to make renewed efforts to remove the fear that then hung over Europe. Until

and until the people felt the con- fidence that peace was assured it was. Impossible to get that begin- ning of the flow of international trade which was essential before prosperity could be widespread in Britain.

Abroad one of the things that frightened him more than any- thing wna the way in which parts. of Europe, unlike Britain, were not getting more prosperous. There were countries which were getting less and less prosperous, countrica in 'which the standard of life

becoming lower. Wan Until there was such feeling of Accurity In Europe that nationa could put vaat sums of money and vast numbers of people who to-day were working on munitions into Industry, he could see no chance of those countries becoming more prosperous. And which people were less prosperous, less happy, less comfortable tend- ed to make for less stability.

SILVER

GOVERNMENT MAY ISSUE COINS

Maeno, Nov. 7. As a result of the abnormal situation created in the silver market, the Government of Macao has prohibited the export of silver in any form, including, Chinese silver currency, which has been the medium of small business and fairly large transactions even among tho Chinese. The law came into force to-day.

It is stated that Chinese money- changers anticipating the possi bility of such a measure managed to export considerable quantities of Chinese silver coins before the enforcement of the new measure. One result of withdrawal by these money-changers of such coins from the money market will be to cause a drop in the premium pay- able in banknotes; this premium has kept pretty steadily at forty to forty-five-per-cent--during-the- Inst few months.

Any substantial drop in this premium will probably cause some difficulty among small merchants and the poorer classes, unless the Government

devise means of overcoming the threaten- ed difficulty.
