the aims of the two parties are dif. ferent. The Government would be only concerned with the question of policy whereas the commercial in- terests would emphasize profit and therefore there could be no real co- operation between them.
In accordance with his dying command, no public announecment of his death was made.
Mr. Gardner was an outstanding figure in the mining and engineer- ing world and enjoyed the friend- ship of several European monarchs.
