it of $21,235 during the year 1938,
It was the 'prevailing opinion among

was losing money. Of course, as
Mr. MdCullagh pointed out, the
owner of the Globe and Mall did not
receive any return on his capital
investment, which was placed ,bY

dollars. He stressed. the fact that
141x•. Wright had dorfe',ted an income
of nearly half a million dollars year-

and that he had done so simply for
the purlpose of rendering a public
service to Canada through the
