We are delighted to see that the Daily Express of

Thursday supports our protest against the proposed raising of the Bank Rate. We feel that there is literally no single issue of greater importance to the nation than that of whether we should manage our Currency and Credit in the interests of industry and trade, or, as at present, in the interests of banking and finance. We deal with the subject in our leading columns. Here we only wish to draw our readers' attention to the important letter of support from Mr. J. F. Darling, the well-known banker, which. we publish on page 14. * * *
