OLD YEAR PASSES
“WORST IN MODERN TIMES.” NEWSPAPER COMMENT. FESTIVITIES IN LONDON. (United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) Received January 2, 10.30 a.m. LONDON, Jan. 1. Th& New Year was heralded with tho usual festivities. The crowd outside Saint Paul’s at midnight was huge but not so largo as last year. A feature of tho Chelsea Arts Ball at the Albert Hall was the gigantic cracker wherefrom, when pulled, sprang a number of girl students. Newspaper comments correctly reflect tho opinion of tho country that 1930 was a disastrous year. The Daily Telegraph describes the old year as the worst in modern times, and says: “A bad year has been made immeasurably worse through the Government being in incapable hands. No Government was ever so utterly discredited.
