The single fact that business hasj

j to indicate that the greatest crisis in j

! safely negotiated through the com-;
bined efforts of the treasury and the i
I Stock Exchange committee.
; The house had been redecorated j
during the prolonged recess and to- t
day it presented a cheerful appear- j

peared in khaki. There were no shout- [
