Hongkong, June 10.
The opinion that the Shanghai dollar was at the mercy of political influences, but that no anxiety need be felt over the Hongkong dollar, was expressed by a spokesman of the Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation when interviewed today on the slump of the Chinese exchange.
The collapse of the Chinese dollar, he pointed out, must not be thought as indicating the collapse of General Chiang Kai-shek's regime, "We have definite: information," he. declared, "that the feeling and morale in Hankow are very high."
Both Chinese and foreign circles locally are not worried over the collapse of the dollar, being of the opinion that possible changes in China's currency structure may be seen very soon.
It is understood that today's allotment was more than usual, and some sources feel that it will be the last of the allotments under he present system.—Reuter,
