It is rumoured that most of the Admiral's friends are advis ing him to resign, and that Count Yamamoto, his father-in-law, is not disposed to see him swayed by the Government. The result of the debate in the Diet will have an important bearing on this question. On "unemployment, the demoral- ization of the stock market and other signs of semi-panicky condi tions, any two men's opinions may honestly differ. They cannot be wholly attributed to the lifting of the gold embargo, but they cannot alse be mainly attributed to an "unforeseenable internationa cause.” The two causes have un fortunately concided. Even if they had not, some degree of panic was to be expected.
