u Your telegram of July 17th OA/1414 to General Baghdad*
Eastern Banic does not issue promissory notes* Doouments
referred to are demand drafts on London. These should
appear in Aleppo only to the extent to which sterling
remittances have to be made from that place and should
not enter into ordinary circulation in competition with
note issue. Local expert opinion here is that root of
trouble in Syria is absence of standard currency and
depreciation to which you refer whether in paper or in ee4i
coin is merely relative to artificial tariff values which
have been fixed by proclamation and which have no relation
to marxet values* Latter in absence of standard currency
probably fluctuate greatly*
