Where "new" magasident of the Bank, made the follow- zines are sold, this is usually figured ing statement yesterday:

at four times the advertised cost of the magazine. For example: a maga- zine advertised in America for 20 centy (U.S. currency) usually sells for 80 cents (Hongkong currency); which, considering the exchange, plus the Cost of postage, plus the profit is quite fair.

"The Minister of Finance has permission to Issue this 50 given
