INFLATION _Tiiose who travelled with Secwetary Krug throughout the Orient had a chance to see what inflation the members of the party wanted a little Chinese money to pick up some trinkets and «souvenirs and to pay for incidental expenses while in China. I asked them to get me exthange for $20—they brought me $238,000 in Chinese asoney, all of it in $1000 or $2000 bills. There was so much of it, it was uncomfortable A meal costs from $15,000 to $25,000. I was amascd to ride by the clothing stores and see Whpes advertised 2: $59,000, $50,000 and $70.000-a paid.

S. can paper is called “dealing in gold” although in fact there is no hard money at all in circulation in China. As far as I can find. out, doesn’t seem to be very much that can be done to brace up the Chinese currency. They intend to peg the Chinese dollar at 12,000 to one and then try to kill the Diack market by the very strongest: type of law en-forcement. However, I doubt if they can do it. The mayor of Shanghai told me the communists were doing evtrything they could to keep the inflation spiraling in order to insure the collapse of the Chinese central government. This appears to be standard communist tactics —we wave seen a little of it in our own country, In Japan we found the same situation, but not on such a grand scale. The Japanese money has been pegged at fifteen to one which is an,. artificial pfice. The black market is quoting 30, 40 and 50 to one, and I heard one quotation in the Imper‘ial Hotel in Tokyo of an exchange being offered at 80 to one.
