Trade By LESLIE EICIIEL New York- Nov. 20. —Many writers are exclaiming that the British gain ed a “victory” over Japan in China when China abandoned the silver standard and went on a managed cur rency that ties in with the British governed currency of Shanghai The I Shanghai currency, in turn, is tied to the British pound. But the “victory” is over the United States, too. And it is all blamed on the United States. Not only does a great Chinese mar ket seem lost, but the Chinese nation itself has been impoverished ty the American silver-purchasing policy, ac cording to critics. TIIE WHYFORE When the United States govern ment went into silver purchasing— one of the schemes to raise prices— the price of the metal became so high trat it began flowing out of China. Thus, China's currency was debased, capital fled abroad and bankruptcies overwhelmed the country. Much of the silver fled to Japan. And Japan rapidly was approaching an “economic rapproachment” (eco nomic domination) in China.

Where American Business Firms Have Large Hold ings; May Involve Treaty (Bv the Associated Press. ( The Japanese foreign office today attributed to the British an American currency policies in China the neces sity for the internal political cam paign to sunder North China from the povernment of Nankiny. The United States silver purchase policy has intensified China’s trou bles, the Tokyo department explained. This and Great Britain’s support of Nanking's* currency reform were look ed upon as stimulus for the autonomy movement in North China. This authority also insisted that. North China’s impending assertion of self-rule would not affect China's ter ritorial status and hence the nine power treaty guaranteeing China’s soveriegnty and territorial integrity cannot be invoked. Administration officials in Wash ington betrayed a deep concern over events in North China, however. Am erican business firms have large hold ings in the effected territory, and there was much speculation in the American capital as to whether a note would be sent to Japan. No such procedure was indicated, however, by William Phillips, under (Continued on Page Four.)

Coan said that thousands are now working at seasonal jobs In the to bacco, peanut and fishing industries and soon will be without employment and, therefore, eligible for WPA jobs.
