NOTE ISSUES ID
 FUSE IN BRITAIN
Appointed Day. Arrives Wartime Expdients Disappear

London. Nov. 22 R - Today marked another important stage in the gradual disappearance of war time eApedients in Great Britain, for it was the appointed day" for the fusion of the we'll known bank of England note issue with the much larger issue of treasury notes of one pound and ten shillings denomina- tions since the World War.
 Under Bank
 The whole of the British note is- sue and circulation will henceforth be. as it was prior to the war. under the control of the Bank of England.
 The Bank of England has been for months past preparing for the change by secretly printing the new pound and ten shilling notes at the rate of million a day; and these will gradually be put into circula- ton 10 replace the old treasury notes. It will probably be months before all the old notes are gathered in and exchanged.
 Before the war, the smallest de nomination of paper money was d five pound Bank of England note, the remainder of the currency being in gold, silver and copper coin. The issue of bank notes was made by the Bank of England. and was practical ly covered by reserves of gold in the vaults of the bank
 Issue Notes
 On the outbreak of the war. the government. in order to impound all the gold coinage for purposes of war finance, took legislative steps to authorize the state treasury 10 issue what were for this reason called treasury notes" in denominations of II and ten shillings. which were made legal currency but were not as were the Bank of England notes. cNchangeable for gold. The issue of these treasury notes reached during the war and in the imitation period immediately following the war an enormous total. because there was no limit fixed by law.
 Eventually. however. the govern- ment found it expedient to put a brake upon this virtually unlimited issue. for which there was no gold backing; and at the present time the issue has been reduced to roughly 300 million pounds, compared with the issue of Bank of England notes of about 1855 millions.
 Winston Churchill. chancellor of the eNchequer, in his last budget proved that this issue of treasury notes should henceforth be fused with the Bank of England issue, and

 No Power
 Thus the government has no long, CT any power of issuing bank notes. and the bank regains complete con- trol of all note issues.
 But since under present conditions it is impossible for the bank to hold a gold reserve which shall anything like cover the total no issue, which under the new fusion may still amount to something like $50 to 500 million pounds. the new la provid- ing for the fusion entitled the "cur- rcncy and Bank Note Bill" limits the amount of iiduciary issue to 260 million pounds, it is only possible temporarily to exceed this amount of issue without gold cover by q special consultation between the Bank of England and the state treasury. The conditions for such temporary change are strictly limited, and the initiative must come from the Bank of England. and not from the gov ernment. The government has no longer any power to expand the cur rency.
