People in business there are showing tremendous losses.

The position of the payments to America are causing quite a lot of excitement just now and I shail be very pleased if America allows England to pay. The ma- jority of opinion over here wants to pay because it will precipitate a settlement, the intention being to pay in bar gold which, of course, is useless to Americans who are al- read) loaded up W ith it.

We have undoubt- edly all got a lot to be thankful for and the Englis! speak- ali ing nations are certainly enjoying a higher standard of living than any other nation in the world, for which much gratitude.
