RECOVERY IN AMERICA
Many Complex Problems
London, August 2. -The designers of United States recovery are faced by many com. plex problems, one of the most totrictable of which concerns con- tribution of capital for market economic recovery says the month- ly review of the Midland Bank. After pointing out the wide · fluc- tuations in flow of new capital in America, the review adds that not- withstanding the recovery, conso- solidation so far has achieved a more hopeful outlook and new capital for industrial and general business purposes is raised in al- most peglibible quantities..

MINNEAPOLIS TENSION NEARLY OVER
STRAIGHT FROM THE SHOULDER
(BY "NO QUARTER")
Considerable interest is being aroused by the approach. ing Borough election in Wanchai. The rival candidates ure Colonel Ttwysse-Clowes. Conservative, and Mr. Wale Plumper, Labour. As it may assist the public to form some idea of the character and aims of these two power- ful rivals. I print below a brief resume of their careers and political programmes.
THE CLUB
Col. Ttwysse-Clowes, Expelled whether to enter the Army from Eton for sucking boiled Navy. sweets in chapel. Joined the Militia and gained the rank of Captain. Left the Militia in 1914 and has promoted himself, with strict attention to seniority, ever. since. Motto. Be British!
His policy is best expressed in the words of one of his own stirring speeches. "If we
all put our shoulders to the wheel of the ship. of state, we may yet find a formula where by avenue may be explored. in order that a complète under standing may exist among the nations of the earth"
Hobbies: Blow football and young
girls.
Mr. Wale Plumper: Completely uneducated and proud of it. Did nothing until the age of 16 and subsequently became a professional, unemployed. Left England on the introduction of the Means Test. Motto. Down with everything!
As regards his policy, he states, "If for one instant the tyrannical capitalist, sitting in golden chair, would cease from grinding the faces of the starving poor, then we might be able to stretch, upwards to- wards the Utopla that is the right of every working man." Hobbies: Hunting and Polo.
I have not the smallest idea What either of them means, Col. Ttwysse Clowes is fat, with a ginger moustache; Mr. Wale Plot- per has a wart on his nose, and an extremely disagreable ordour.
