complicated and unsatisfactory money
system I'm the world today. China VIII
never take its rightful place among the
leading commercial nations of the world
until its currency is put on a sound basis
and standardized. This problem touches
every man, woman and child in China,
and is of greater personal concern than
even the form of government by which
they are to be ruled. OF all China $
difficulties this one of currency reform
should be among the first to be tackled
Indications are that for reasons both pc
culiar and selfish it will be one of the
last.
Foreigners have been urging currency
reform and Chinese officials have been
promising currency reform, for genera
tons E,dicts have been issued with pom
derouS aplom, elaborate plans nave been
solemnly rendered by foreign monetary
experts and as solemnly accepted by ce-
lestial officials. But the good old way Is
so deep rooted that it prevails in these
days of democracy just as II did when
despotism flourished. When the republic
does get around to the money question II
