With. Obviously reduction to the

regarded with equanimity. but the Bank
Of England could lose many more mil
lions without anxiety.
Change Of Heart Expected.
In the meantime it is expected that
panicky French investors are going to
regret the loss of good London interest
and have change of heart about
things. Lombard Street Is already be-
ginning to talk about what It calls bad"
money-namely, that of French panicky
short-term investors.
Certain banks have already told their
French clients to take their uneasy
money out now, as the British do not
want to have 1t around in times of
danger. when it might prove too coward
ly. The French have always regarded
the sound British banking system and
free gold facilities as an ideal short
term market. and the British now are
talking Of Safeguards" which might
reduce such facilities.
New York's loyalty in showing that
the dollar is not going to march against
the pound is looked upon here to take
some OF the steam out of the francs
militance. And If the French will not
dlsarm on land, sea or air, London, the
old Gibraltar ot-finance, Is quite pre-
pared to stick 1t out until Paris de-
mands truce in the financial warfare.

The immediate business in hand is to
resist the drive against the pound

the bank rate l per cent to 3la per

policy of the last 20 months, making
it the highest in force in any world
