It is a notable commentary upon British Anancial and oconomie leadership in this "period of the most heute defation in history: that it should be Great Britain that has initiated the two outstand- ing developments which gives pro- |mise of checking the onrush of the depression. Great Britain waa really forced off the gold standard by her efforts to combat declining world prices, and since that datu has vigorously and intelligently con- trolled her monetary policy to ad vanes prices at a time when the further decline in prices in gold countries has accentuated their existing disastrous situation. Ou the other hand, at a time when all the other countries in the world are trying to reduce imports, the Em- pire is preparing to study a plan whereby volume of trade, at least between Empira countries, may be increased.
