Meeting Is Informal.
Today'S meeting of the ministers was
not a formal cabinet council, the mem

encouragement and guidance from their
leader. Top-hatted to a man, with Miss
Bondfield wearing a becoming black
hat, they were IN high spirits. The
! waiting crowd shouted congratulations
repeatedly and there was q ripple OF
cheering as each member arrived.
The cheeriest group Of all was the
trio comprising George Ensbury, first
commissioner of works: Tom Shaw, the
war secretary, and Arthur Greenwood,
the minister of health.
One of LausburyS constituents, a
typical eastender, who had waited all
day TO see him, cried out:
rs that cur George? Who would
believe it. But he does look fine"
The headgear of Tom Shaw was
perched back on his head at a joVial
angle and his face was one big smile as
he pulled a cigar. Even the serious
features of Chancellor of the Exchequer
Snowden were lighted with a smile as
The onlookers cheered him heartily.

The direct effects OF the reparaLion

tend to bring American capital to Eu-
rope to participate prominently in for

as he credit situation in the United

factors producing easier money condi

in a month, but will be a gradual evolu-

change from tight credit to easier
money. The present transition being
