substantial progress was recorded un-
der the leadership of French obliga-

terranean issues extended their gains
one to two points and most of the
French republic and municipal lines
moved up a point or so.

abled the United States Treasury As

something we did not hope for four
years ago.
TT shows that it is not our job

hands off so long as the carriers do
right. Today the carriers feel that
thev have had the responsibility and
their pride, courage and ambition have
increased.
