China's indemnity a silver at the value
Of the silver tae1 prevailing when the

Contrary to the report. the United
States is still insisting that the proper
Interpretation of the protocc. Is that
the then tael value should continue to
be recognized for the entire period Of
payment.
The tael then rated at 74.2 cents. and
the protocol provided that payments
should be made in gold, with the tael
recognized as being Of that value. Owing
20 the depreciation of the rael, China
will be obliged, if majority Of the
powers insist on their contention, tc
pay q greater rate for the gold with
which to repay her creditors.
It is estimated that payment under
