Young Comrade Litvinov. The stock control of Lena Goldfields Ltd. is held by a small group of U. S. and British tycoons who maintain the privacy of their identity.

Chronic indebtedness finally compelled his retirement from Prime Minister Baldwin's cabinet in 1928. As chairman of Greater London & Counties Trust, Ltd. he has sought to stabilize his violently fluctuating fortunes. In business he has had his usual success and prominence. His heavily lined face and heavy-hanging hands betray his persistent fondness for strong drink. Last fortnight he lay critically ill in London with bronchial pneumonia, but was reported gaining with...
