Jagger (Associated Press Financial Editor) LONDON W) The Bank of Eng land, mother of tho international gold standard and long a dominant Institution In worlct financial affairs, has become a storm center In British politics. I Despite the fact that the bank long called "the Old Lady of Thread needle Street" Issues the ourroncy of the realm and handles the bond Issues of the British treasury, it has no government appointee on Its board. Its directors represent only tho old banking houses which own Its stock. The labor party, broken and In all hill- Anlton . whelming victory of the nationalist' rpflitt inn imvnmnuint in Is now building up a vigorous attack on the bank and the financial Interests of "the City", as London's financial sec- tor is known. Keshtts Lean Years One basis of the labor antagonism ' toward the City, according to politi cal analysts. Is the fnct thnt. it j to have come through the lean year more satisfactorily tnan Industry, on i the . whole. It Is felt that the white ' collar worker has fared, better than ' the. factory worker. i : London's prestige as a financial ! center suffered a sharp setback with I the lapse from the gold standard In 1031, but Its star has risen again In the financial firmament. The con servatism of finance la In the sad- , die, and while leaders of the saddle, ' and while leaders of the opposition coll loudly for drastic financial meas ures, the City has no intention of permitting any stops that may Im pair Its restored prestige. Huh or iirltlsh Finance While the New York stock ex change, In Its Imposing structure at the cornor of Broad and Wall streets, Is regart'(:d by many as tho hub of American finance, In London It Is the Bank of England which stands out In the popular mind as the great power. Its history, Its location, and the building which It occupies all con trive to' surround It with mystery and awe In the mind of the Lon doner. . Since the beginning of tho last century, the buildings of the bonk, occupying tho entire area of 'one of the largest and most central blocks in the financial district, have been surrounded) with a wlndowless, Oreco Roman wall. And the bank, formed in 1604, had occupied the same site since 1732. Shuns Above Old Wall . This ImprcsBlve wall, with' Its col ulnnB and balustrade, has complete- t obscured the low buildings of o -Jjonk, until a great renovation m m La Grande' 8 Leading Store fill and rebuilding project was started 'a few years ago. The old buildings were removed. J and a handsome new white marble I structure has gone up Inside the j walls, and is now half finished. The white wings of the buildings,' set back somewhat from the wall, rise four floors above it to a greenish I pantile roof. The building is brought out to the old wall over the ThreaO necdlo street entrance with a mos sive portico of Corinthian columns. 1 The entire new buildings of the ( bank, however, will have less floor space than the tall businesslike, and heavily barred building of the New )ork Fedofal Reserve Baik. The classical architecture, with white marblo columns and loggias, con trasts sharply with the structure of tho New York institution, which with Its bars and heavily armed guards resembles a fortress. Coat of Many Colors No firearms are seen about the Bank of England, despite the fact that It holds the nation's gold re ccrvo, now at record levels.

Lockwood Asks For More Fire Drills (Continued On Page Four) matter to Oity Manager Angus Mo All later for an Investigation. He also expressed the opinion that If per sonal feeling entered Into the mat ter, this also should be straightened out. Mr. Lockwood, In his statement. said that there were some men in the' volunteer ranks who "donH. know the first thing about fighting fires" and that fire drills' of adequate nature to instruct these men should -be held. He felt that the silent alarms sometimes resulted In Impair- dng fire protection, and cited . two oases he had In mind. He also point ed out that spectators are crowding in too close to fires again with the result that 'firemen are hindered in lighting tires. "All we can depend upon are the results," Mr. Melville replied. "I'm quite surprised to hear of such condition. We recently received a let ter from the state fire marshal com plimenting Ohlet Lindsey and his de partment on its efficient work, and around town I've never heard any 'kicks' about the fire department. It's up to; the manager and fire chief tyo get the results." Mr. McAllister was given authority to take whatever steps he might find needed In the event his Investiga tion disclosed any matters needing straightening out, 4Buy now as we are starting;:our prices in ; some instances as last spring or at a slight advance. , ,' Prep For the high school boy. that make our men's suits that will please. $15 $20 - Corduroys A large assortment to choose from. $2.45 $2.95 $3.50 $3.95 $4.45 Leatherbuck A new corduroy reinforced the wear comes.
