'The manner in which the bank-
ing structure of the British Empire
has stood up, without any apparent
strain, • to the demands occasioned
by the war, is a matter of consid-
erable gratifieatioe.' In a recent is-
sue The London Times refers' to
this, and notes that basically the. •
reactions .of war on overseas Em-
pire barfks have been similar to
those 'in Britain,• which was to be
expected, as _the Governments, of
the overseas' Dominions and India
.,,have a common objective, namely,
contributing;to,the task of winning
the war,. • '
