SUGGESTION FOR
BRITISH RELIEF

London, Aug. l6.-(4.40 P. MA strong
effort is being made in important finan-
cial quarters to have the government
issue large amount of short term high
rate bonds to be placed on the Ameri-
can market as a means of relieving
British exchange. The exchange rate
continued downward today,s at one time
touching the lowest known record
4.67a.
George Clare, head of a leading ex-
change house, told The Associated Press
today that in his opinion an issue of
short time bonds at an attractive rate
for the New York market was the best
solution of the problem.
He estimated that the sale of Ameri-
can bonds had reached 100000 pounds
sterling 2o.Ooo.OoO) weekly for some time
and had aggregated about 100, ooO, Q01
pounds sterling (s5oA, 900. COO. which was
about all the relief feasible from that
source.
THE best course now he said, lis one
/ understand it under consideration. II
calls for the issue of a foreign loan,
principally in New York, at such a rate
and investors. Probably 5 per cent. two
year bills free from income tax would
appeal strongly to big American invest
ing companies. 1t would be the first
time on record that Great Britain had
placed a loan in q foreign country and
this may raise the Question of dignity,
but Germany. Japan and other countries
have placed such loans in New York and
the time has come when we should do
the same thing as the surest means OF
relieving the abnormal situation growing
out of the adverse balance of exchange
against u.s.
The Bank of England announced that
1,so0, 900 pounds sterling G9.0oo, oo0) in for
eign coin had been allowed to go out to-
day, which is taken as an indication tina
the government now is willing to ALLOW
gold to go out as a means of meeting
accruing balances.

not the better form of govern
ment for China.
HoId Conference

It Is stated that Professor Goodnow
was asked to come to Pekin and that
soon after his arrival Yuan Shi kai con-
suited with him on the question OF
permanent constitution and preached the
question of a monarchy. The arguments
of Yuan's supporters. it is declared, per-
s,laded Prof. Goodnow that a monarchy
should be established If the people would
accept it, and Prof. Goodnow drafted a
document for Yuan advising him on the
method of establishing a monarchy.
In the announcement of the project.
which is made to appear as coming from
group of leading citizens, Prof. Good
nova citizen of a republic-is quoted
extensively as a great authority advo-
eating the necessity for monarchy.
Presidents Statement
In an inspired article reporting a con-
versation between Yuan and a high Off
cial, the President is quoted as having
said:
"A certain doctor gave me an ex-
haustive dissertation on the advant-
ages and disadvantages accruing from
monarchal and republican govern
ments. l answered him that being the
President of a republic I was in no
position TO discuss the question.
In official circles here the belief ~
expressed that Yuan Shi kai had ref
erence to Prof Goodnow and the
newspapers insert his name in their
reports on the situation. Prof. Good
now said tonight that he had been
misquoted. He made no blanket state
ment, he asserted, that a monarchy
was better than a republic. but salo
that under certain conditions such as
apply in China, he believes mon
archy would be better In reply TO
question he said that he did not mind
his name being used by the monar-
chists if it would assist in the peace
full promotion of monarchy and the
welfare Of China.
Yuan Shi Kai's eldest son is a par
tial invalid owing to an injury to MS
head sustained in being thrown from
his horse while his other sons are I'M
important youths.
1t is believed that the project Will
be contaminated more or less speedily
unless dangerous objection is display
ed throughout the country. which is
considered unlikely.
