Regarding the financial position of
Germany, Sir Edward Pointed out
how Germany - had •adopted every
means,to maintain the gold reserve of
the Reichsbaek at the neceseary one-
thied of the note issue. Geemany, he
said, had issued notes to the extent
of 4800,000,000, and Great )3ritetin to
Ilia, extent of 43.68,000,000. The gold
itt the Reichsbank now was 4126,-
000,000, tvhich gave Germany a per-
centage of 15.7, while Great Britain
had 481,000,000 gold, giving her a
percentage of 22...It looked, said Sir
Edward, as though Great Britain were
keeping:up her end pretty well.
Without expressing an tpieton as
to the propriety of Germen and
Austrian batiks having branches in
England after the war, Sir Edward
said he thought it would not be wise
to exclude foreign bank.

clouds never thicken into gloom, hos-
tile fleets are strangers to my shores,

eorizon wide, my leisure large, my
companions many, my visions are
the visions of God, Unfolding, enlarg-

God, rather than the future of man;
• my hearing is sensitive and the Whis-
pers come lihe the song of slimmer

greater titan doing, greater than bar-
ing done, An author says: "Life is
not action, but conternplation, not
what we have, nor what we do, but
it is the quiet oranipotence of what
W8 are.'
I can look up. I ean say all things
