HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Exeter Advocate, 1919-11-27, Page 3ll U.S. DID NOT INVEST LARGELY IN. BONDS Other Flotations More Attrac- tive Than Canadian Victory Loan. A despatch from Ottawa says:— Sir Henry Drayton, Minister of Fin- ance, stated that citizens of the United States did not buy so many of Can- ada's Victory 'bonds as commonly re- ported. A great deal of interest was taken in the fletation, but just as they were beginning to purchase Victory bonds Great Britain fioated a loan at 6% per cent., and this higher rate made investors forget Canada's effer- /Its. Asked What hopes the Government had of Canada's overtaking the 'un- favorable exchange situation, Sir Henry said that the Government could do nothing to affect that aituati•on. "So long as the people of Canada persist in, importing expensive arta: eles po long shall we have an adverse trade balance," he said, "If that -could be wiped out the exchange situa- tion would take care of itself," "Will American investors get any advantage from the 5 per cent, ex -e change eharged against Canadian money?" he was asked. "The interest on Victory Loan bonds is payable in Ottawa, co that we Shall have the exchange," he anewerecl. During the six months of Canada's fiscal year ending September 4 Can- ada's adverse trade balance with the United States was $135,352,904. It is stated here that it is imposeable to float a loan in the United States to stabilize the situation. Sb Thomas White said before the Parliamentary Committee on Soldiers' Civil Re-est:tin lieliment at the last session of Perna- rnent that the seventy-five million dollars loan negotiated in New York last summer represented about as heavy a loan as Canada could raise there. If the amount had been one hundred millions he doubted if it could have been negotiated. NEW CABINET OF ONTARIO LEAVING GOVERNMENT HOUSE, TORONTO, AFTER BEING SWORN N.

The extreme Egyptian nationalista have raised the banner of complete indepentlerce, like the Sinn Fein, and Cairo reesages soy that the Cabinet has resigned as an anewer to Field :Marshal Allenby's statement of the British plans, One of the Egyptian complaints Ilea been that Great Britain has published its intention to maintain a protector - t , b baskeptEgyptians in the dark regarding what is meant by a protectorate, and how it is to be cr ried on..

War Losses $331,612,542,560 Dead 12,990,571, A despatch. from Washington, .says: --The first comprehensive repeat on the "Direat and Iridireet Costa of the Woe has just been inade by the Carnegie Endowment for Internet/era al Peasee and paLliebed in a. volume under that title. • The direoe costs for countries ee- ;Wally involved in the war are pat at 3186,000,000,000 and the hadireet costs at $151,612,542,560. The latter total includes Imes to neutgals, which are put at $1,760,000,000. It also includes loss of pro&otion, put at $45,000,000,a 000, and -erar relief estimated at $1,- 000,000,000.

The report, which was gathered by Ernest L. Bogart, professor of eon - mice in the University of Illinois, in estimating the "capitalized value a human Bee, fixes the worth of the individual at figures ranging from $2,020 in Bulgaria, Turkey, Greece, Japan, Roumania, Serbia and several other countries, up to 34,720 for the United States, where the economic worth of the individual to the elation is placed at the highot. An additional $330151,000,000 is 'allowed for -civilian losees. Although o the latter were of children and old pereens, the estimate given for the civilian loss is believed to be conserve- tive. The number of known dead is placed. at 9,08,771, and the eniesing presumed to be dead at 2,991,800. To the losses from death and wounds there is. added "those resulting from. dise.ase, pesti- lence, privation. hardship, Physical ea- havetien and similar causes."

It is an automatic float, with a sen slave depth-findleg mechanism con- nected telephonic:elle-, and is placed oil the surface • of the water, Another delicate instrument rests 011 the bot- tom, witk a wire connection. 'When an engineer wants to know the depth of water at a particular spot he rings up "Katie" on the 'phone and she tens him tete exact depth. She speaks in soft, Jerky buzzes in the manner of the Morse code, and when she gets out of her depth she stutters, If the current is too strong she becomes speechless. "Katie" will also warn a captain how much water has got into the hold or the engine - room after a collision. The floating ship's safe is another wonderful invention. It automatically casts itself adrift from a sinking ship, and will send up a distress signal every hour for twelve hours. A sound signal is also given, and it will burn a light at night for three months.'
