CHANCE FOR BANKS
TO HELP PEOPLE EMPIRE
ECONOMIC RECONSTRUCTION
OFFSET TO LOSS OF FOREIGN
MARKETS.
(United Press Association.—Copyright.) (Australian-New Zealand Cable Assn.) (Received 2nd July, 3 p.m.) LONDON, This Day. Sir John Ferguson, addressing the Institute of Bankers, said that recently the British banks had sought a broader basis for their activities. If the right direction were given to their relationships with Doinniou banks they would contribute greatly towards the building up of Imperial trade. The Empire contained reserves of wealth sufficient to give every man, woman, and child a higher standard of life than any other country could offer. The banks could help forward the peopling of the Empire's vast spaces with British stock. Now it had become a parrot cry: "Find us a Mussolini." Why not? It ought not to be impossible to find someone capable of carrying out a great scheme of economic reconstruction within the Empire as an offset to the loss of foreign markets, someone who by natural affinity understood the Dominions and their political ideas.
