Further, millions are engaged in personal service only, which would seem to indicate that the country is not excessively poor.
Without some such background as this, it is difficult to uniorstand the meaning of the volume of unemployment, with its oc casional small increases, and de creases; and a closer staay of the tigures shows that the large vol ute of unemployment only ap.

At the same time a glance at such a report as that of Courtaulds Limited is interesLing: the artificial silk industry continues to flourish. but it is less this fact than the order of the figures wbich appear in the report that attention When it is possible to allocate, for the third time a 1, 000. 000 to reserve and 650, 000 for two other appropriations the industry mst be in Flourishing state. Huge sums like these do not suggest impoverishment; but they do imply sound busine:s control, the ability to produce commodity that is needed and the possibility of further competition.

The Abbey Road Permanent Building Society, for instance, abowed, last year, an Increase of 50 per cent upon its 1928 figures for shareholders and depositors; and, having advanced over 1, 079, 800 during the twelve months, played no mean pari in the housing problem. Thie society is able to report that there are to houses on its bands and this is another striking evidence of the financial state of the country, since the bulk of the advances must be absorbed by middleclass or lower middle class people. The market ior real estate seems to be bealthy but in urban properties there is some reflection of the uncertain ty which has prevailed about the housing question.
