Mr.. Churchill admitted that foreign
loans had been discouraged, but in

there was more lending at home. Cap

there appears little question.
What was perhaps the greatest sur

was the size of the vote cast. 1t was

would be cast. but as the returns are

total will exceed 175,000. The small
vote in the Tidewater sections and the
very large vote in the western part of
