Reconstruction and Readjustment sales are the logical outgrowth of today's conditions. vThc step we 'have taken is a bold one. Markets have not felt the transition.

"the labor party to bo regarded as the
official opposition party in the house
of commons and tho success of Wil

the elections carries an important
implication that the Jabor .party con
