To the Editor of the "Norra-Catva Daisy News."
Sir,—When we reflect upon the vast amount of base coins in circulation we cannot help experiencing a feeling of satisfaction over the rest oe case in Mixed Court, as reported in your issue of 24th July, It is ' be that the sentences meted out upon that occasion will act asa deterrent to those who have hitherto followed "smashing" as 8 means of livelihood, The amount of bad money in circulation {not only dollars but coins of smaller denominations) is simply appalling, and is source of serious loss to business people, leading to the suspicion of the existence of more than the one gang just captured.
Surely some steps can be taken to secure the ce-operation of the Chinese authorities witha view to effectually putting an ead to this form of rascality. Yon icon to think that, providing our police are not hampered with unnecessary formalities, bat on the other hand are assisted to the utmost by the Chinese in authority, we may then look for some mitigation of this evil, more especially if really drastic measures are adopted when the culprits are brought to justice.
Tam, ete., 27th July.
