...China. The Japanese high command were with their Emperor Hirohito watching autumn maneuvers at Kyushu. The Chinese high command were, with the greatest unanimity ever seen in China, at the Kuomintang Party Conference in Nanking. The Nanking Government plumed themselves on their brilliance in having called in all silver coin and bullion (TIME, Nov. 11), thus forcing the Japanese-dominated banks of North China to declare for either Japan or China. Last week Japanese Army men warned the North China banks not to deliver the silver to Nanking. Slowly maturing was the Japanese-inspired plan for five provinces of North...

The States' retort is that what they are issuing is not "legal tender" and therefore worthless for anything but their sales tax.
