Sharp Domestic Expansion
Contrasts With Dark Euro

LONDON, June 27.-As the mid
year approaches, gazers into the 1u-
ture view the imminence Of the holi-
day season as likely to check market
exurbance, while historians record a
remarkably confident passage by city
markets through a half-year period
crowded by successive international
alarms.
The main aspects of the financial
position remain dual and contradict
ory-home economic expansion con-
tinues to exceed the most optimistic
forecasts, while the dangers Of foreign
disturbance remain practically un-
diminished. The probable upshot Of
these conflicting circumstances will be
steady or firm investment markets
without excessive speculative develop
ments.
Wide Advance Seen.
British industry is still in the stage
where almost nationwide expansion
of employment, production and earn
ings continues as the first result Of
tariff protection, while the building
boom is hardly yet waning and the
huge armament expenditure program
has barely commenced. The home
prospects, therefore, are almost bril-
liant in contrast to the menacing
darkness of European politics.
In France. Premier Blum gives the
franc and the gold bloc a breathing
spell, but leaves the fundamental prob
lens unsolved. In the political sphere,
the abandonment of sanctions is re-
gretfully approved by majority in
the city, although it is realized that
the move eases the tension only tenn
porarily while the major international
differences remain outstanding.
Caution Demanded.
The whole future Of the London
markets depends on the absence Of
foreign shocks, or upon a protracted
and simultaneous increase in output,
with cheap money assured, as the con-
tinued basis for growing prosperity.
On the other hand, the foreign prob
lens, complex and inscrutable. de-
mand caution in all business circles.
