CURRENCY IN TIBET
Nepal Complains At Change
KATMANDU, August 22. The Nepalese Government has protested to China over a decree making Chinese currency the only legal tender in Tibet, it was announced today. Officials said the Chinese had not given sufficient warning for Nepalese traders to exchange their holdings of Tibetan and Indian money for Chinese currency. They said most of these holdings were in Indian rupees and the traders were now on the verge of ruin.
Nepal has also complained to China about visa difficulties experienced by Nepaiese traders in Tibet.
