COMMITTEE'S
INTERESTING
REPORT.
Loxton, December 23rd. A report has just been issued by au unportaal Comitire (under the chair- manship of Sir Richard Vassar Smith, the new chairman of Lloyd's) which was appointed in 1917 to enquire concerning the provision of Gnancial facilities for post-war trade.
The Committee thinks that existing 10- stitutions with certain extensions ought to be able to provide sufficient facilities without State mutervention.
It emphasises that an early return to an effective gold standard is the only proper check on undue expansion of credit, and recommends the cessation of State borrowing as early as possibl, all available
