DIFFICULTIES

Washington, Jan. 30.

In face of the Japanese prediction that China's currency would "blow up" by the spring of 1986, high American fiscal authorities have asserted that they believe in the strength of China's currency, on the new controlled basis.

་

They characterise as remarkable the quick success of the new currency system set up.

The United States, it is pointed out, has aided China's monetary reforms by trading gold credit for silver.

Reports persist that another large silver purchase from China has been negotiated, but Treasury officials here refuse to confirm or deny this allegation.

American finance, meanwhile, is in something of an uncer- tain position. Mr. Henry Morgenthau, Secretary of the Treasury, at a press conference to-day, hinted that the Ad- ministration might ask for new taxes to pay the Veterans' Bonus.

It is called, however, that when President 1. D. Roosevelt wrote to the House of Representatives asking for allocation of funds to meet the Bonus Bill's requirements, he mado no men- lon of new taxation. It was pre-

Moreover, President Roosevelt gave his solemn promise last year that no new taxation would be instituted In 1936.

CUMMINGS' WARNING Nevertheless, in spite of these Assurances, the Attorney General, Mr. Ilonier S. Cummings, to-day stated that a programme of taxation to pro vide for a new farm relief plan, to re place the defunct A.A.A., will be sent, to Congress within a week.

FOUND CORRECT

Correctness in dress clothes is a matter of detail-but correct- nesa is no detail. A shirt front must be the correct depth in relation to the waistcoat. The length of the waistcoat must be exactly correct in relation to the trousers and dress coat. The Summit collar must be the right shape and mant fit the Summit shirt to a fraction of an inch.

The tie must fit the collar and be the correct shape. Studs, links and waistcoat buttons must harmonise. It is troublesome-but we have taken the trouble.
