TOKIO. Dec. 15.—The issue of 30,
000,000 yon worth of 50, 20 and 10 sen
bank notes has thus been approved
by -imperial ordinance. This mea
sure, as explained by the ministry of
finance, is due to the unusual develop
ment of business since the outbreak
of the war and the inability of the
government mint to keep pace with
the demand for smaller silver coins.
The term of the issue is fixed at one
year from the conclusion of peace.
Concurrently with the issue the gov
ernment will manufacture silver coins
equal in amount to the notes issued.
This amount i3 to be held at the bank 1
of Japan to provide for the exchange^
and the gradual withdrawal or the
paper notes.
