A MOMENTUOUS FACT
“We are not so familiar with inspiriting tidings in these days of commercial doldrums and depression that we can be indifferent to the announcement that the White Star Line is coming back into British hands. It would he absurd to call this a straw in the wind. The White Star Line is far too big a venture to be described, even figuratively, as a straw. And the transaction by which it is passing from American to British control is more than an encouraging symptom of the way the wind is blowing. It is a momentuous fact. The Americans are the richest people on earth, and they are a proud people. They do not surrender for a trifle. Least of all do they surrender lightly in a matter in which their national pride i.s involved.'’-—Mr A. G. Gardiner, in the “Sunday Express.”
