GLOOM DEPRECATED
DUKE OF GLOUCESTER HINT TO BUSINESS MEN LONDON, Feb. 22. “If business men will Only refuse to regard gloomy possibilities as probabilities, they will create a wave of confidence across every ocean!” In these words, the Duke of Gloucester, at the Mansion House banquet in connection with the British Industries Fair, reproved gioomsters of finance and commerce.
Confidence, the Duke said, was an essential condition for general improvement. His tour of Australia ancl New Zealand four years ago had vividly impressed him with the essential community of interest of the British Commonwealth, and with the sincere desire of every part of it for peaceful relations with the rest of the world. Difficulties and uncertainties might beset the path leading to a higher level of world prosperity. Nevertheless. he believed there were grounds for hoping that that path had been entered.
