boost to Mayor Cardwell.
IF there are any representatives of
the press present" he said, Il wish to
make it clear that l am not here as

Omissions Significant.
Mr.. Marshall a congratulated the
club on its quarters and hoped that
it would be a place where all could
get together to discuss the welfare

much comment. His hearers seemed
to think his omissions were significant.

a faith in mankind will help a man
to peal much adverse criticism"

leaders Mr.. Goldingay said that he

to friends.
Mr.. Goldingay repeated the charge
