"PROSPERITY is just around the corner," said a slogan of 1922. Emblazoned on a thousand sign-boards it struck a note of optimism in a world that was sick of hope deferred. To-day, however, though 1923 is scarcely half advanced, it seems that at last we have really turned the corner. By GILBERT E. JACKSON11 min
