Mr. T. L. Gilmour verïten from London

It will help to a clear under- standing of the issues raised-in the controversy now raging over the new Treasury Regulations if we bear in mind that there are two distinct, if closely related questions involved. The one is the control by the Treasury of all now capital issues; the other is the sending of capital out of Great

He himself had bean telling the soldiers in the tranches and the sailors with the Grand Fleet what a wonder-Britain. ful new time they would have after the war if God gave them the victory.

Discussing some of the things they might expect to happen, the Bishop said he did not consider

New Series

A CAR FOR GENERAL SERVICE

Business as well as social net were given careful consideration in designing and building the new Allen.

The result is a car that is ideal where maximum year-round service is demanded. The chassis of the standard Allen 41, has been proven through use by thousands of owners. And comfort and convenience are present in big measure in this model. A rotary switch on steering column controls the entire electric system.

Fittings and body finish are of highest grade. The new Allen is as attractive as it's

serviceable.

Many special features of this Car will interest you. Ask for a copy of the Allen Car Book, or, better still, have us demonstrate.
