Luxurious aotor-buses were increasing in! number. Every effort was being made -to keeD the' increasing traffic under control and to minimise accidents. Pedestrians gathered at the Hore- <6 Belisha beacons to make the crossings of the^traf* fic-crowded streets.

Interchanges of ideas and habits all help to est-, ablish a greater bond of friendahip_and,bueineßß| between^these two great.nations."
