Last week Newfoundland's money troubles were suddenly solved. No province in distress ever had a stranger saviour.

It was the end of the third round in the great utility championship bout between Cities Service and the State of Kansas, and the round was Tycoon Doherty's. In the first round, Banking Commissioner Carl Newcomer had suddenly suspended sales of Cities Service stock (except first preferred) in the State. In round No. 2, Mr. Doherty's lawyers got a temporary injunction staying the Newcomer...
