Speaking recently meeting of the Chamber of Commerce at Grenada on the proposed creation of an independent coinage system for the West Indies, Sir Edward Davson, the President of the Associated West Indian Cham.
ber of Commerce is reported to have said: There are two other matters to which desire to refer, the first being the etablishment of a West Indian currency. As you are aware ja Committee sat in London recently to enquire into the subject. The whole subject is rather complex and do not want to go into the of it. But must deal a matter that was disclosed by the Committee findings. It seems incredible but it is fact, that for years the British Treasury has been selling us silver coin at face value which cost one third of its price and any that the on this does not go but into general revenue.
That to form a reserve fund in our favour, is to say, we buy 1s. for 1s.
which costs 4d. Our West indian coin is not based on the gold standard and while in practice we get ls. for 1s. the situation might be difficult if trade became bad and we had an accumulation of silver which cannot be redeemed at anything near its local value.
The West Indies should have a coinage of its own based on the gold standard.
We should then pay what it costs us for turning out our own silver coins, and with the profit be able to build up a reserve so that if necessary we may take our silver to the Bank and turn it into gold The profit made by the British Treasury out of the West Indies is about 10, 000 to 50, 000, but the Committee was of opinion that us should be put at the seigniorage that may accrue to 15 4, 000. There is the satisfaction of knowing that this question does not mean o barking on a wild scheme, into the Treasury. West Africa the Straits Settlements, Mauritius, New foundland have coin.
they ask for it and the West Indies presented an isolated instance in this matter. The amount seems small, but have not met anybody to tell me why that 40, 000 or 50, 000 even taking the Committee estimate of 24, 000 annually should not go to the credit of the West Indies. If this matter has not yet come up before your Chamber ask that it be brought up and considered. (Continued on page 7)
