was conceded to be only a formal ratifca-

CHINA TO CONTROL SILVER
IN FOUR POINT PLAN

SHANGHAI, Nov. 3. = The Chinese
government moved drastically tonight to
solve Its long standing monetary problems
by announcing a fOur-pOint program of mon
etary reform. 1t included:
l. Naturalization of silver.
2. Restriction of bank note issues to
three government owned banks.
3. Sterilization of the Chinese dollar at
its present level
4. Legalization of bank notes for nav
ment Of all debts expressed in terms of sill
yer.
Announcement of the program issued bv
FINANCE Minister H. H. Kung was followed
by a government decree effective tomorrow
Under the naturalization order, all holo
ers OF silver are required to exchange it for
legal tender notes, Kung said.
He continued:
Bank notes issued by the three govern
ment banks, the Central Bank of China. the
Bank OF China and the Bank of Communi
cations, shall be full legal tender, and bank
note reserves of the three banks shall be
placed under unified control.
Notes of all other issuing banks will con-
tnue IN circulation, but will gradually be
"lthdarWn from circulation and be replac-
ed by notes Of the Central Bank"
The finance minister's statement also
said that for the purpose of stabilizing the
dollar at the present level (now approx
mately 80 cents in United States monevl.
the government banks will buy and sell
foreign exchange in unlimited Quantities"
Kung asserted the abandonment of tha
gold standard by many nations and the rise
OF world silver prices brought a serious over
valuation of China's currency and a severe
drain on silver, which was halted ONLY in
p;Tt by the export duty imposed Oct. Is.
1884
Under the new mandate, illegal posses
sion OF silver as REASONABLE offense.
