the Bank of England since 1920.
And it is said that he slipped into
Washington q few months ago

WASHINGTON is terribly dis
appointed to hear that Wis

London Daily Telegraph isn't
coming to Washington after all.
He is due in New York about the
third week in January, but will
spend about a week there and go
