LONDON, Jun. 26 (Reuter). -Ways in which banks could serve the nation in the present struggle were referred to to- day by Mr. Reginald McKenna, presiding at the annual meeting of the Midland Bank.
He said that they could help to delay, and even avold, the onset of indation which, if it came, would be due to the growth of civil and mill- tary consumption together beyond the country's capacity to produce.
