SERIOUS PREDICTION.
GRAVE FINANCIAL CRISIS. “■ (United Service). LONDON, March 20. Sir George Paish, the distinguished economist, speaking at the National Free Trade Conference at Manchester, said: “I say on the highest authority that we are threatened with the gravest financial crisis the world has ever seen. Leading British and American authorities expect it to come in the spring. Nothing can now be done to prevent it. We need business men to adjust the situation, not politicians, who have got us into the mess.” • Sir George Paish attributed the alarming position to the policy of trade restrictions. The Daily Express describes Sir George as a “professional misanthrope,” “veteran prophet of *doom,” and “pessimist of old standing.”
