Lancashire v. Lyon. What had happened to Western Union? Last year, Winston Churchill had grandly advocated the "grand design." All that Europe heard from Britain on the subject now was what one U.S. newsman called "the dull plop-plop" of Ernie Bevin's speeches, urging step-by-step progress.

In cases of great need the scholarships may cover the entire cost of a man's training for business administration. Awards are made on a yearly basis, subject to renewal if the student maintains a satisfactory record...
