tains a long apologetie leader collcern>
ing the Bank Of England. While pro-
| testing against the hostile criticism,

reform, beginning with the committee
of the treasury by reducing the aver-
| age age of its members. Until this

rectors might be kept in the back
ground. Measures have been taken
already and are being perfected for

time ago have lately received proper
attention. Some branches of the busi-
ness require much stricter attention

are satisfied that nothing was seriously
wrong"
