Speaking in Glasgow on January 8th, Douglas Jay, President of the Board of Trade, was at pains to put at rest the City of London’s “imaginary fears.” Mr. Jay said “Attacks of financial nerves are no more helpful to the nation’s solvency than delays in the docks.” The City of London

owed it to the nation to stick to its responsible job “and not be too often diverted by imaginary fears and rumours.” The City of London also had an invaluable contribution to make to our visible and invisible export earnings, he added.
