-statement along the lines of that he made on the introduction of the Reserve L'ank Bill, restating in more concise form “t'he reasons that in the view of the Government conclusively justify the c-ourse it has adopted.” Mr Coates stated that the Government had obtained opinions from world authorities on hanking matters, who were in a position to consider the question impartially, and they were unanimous and emphatic that the course taken by the Government was the proper one.
