'Canadian Business
Profiteering A Myth
The. charge, frequently heard
during recent election campaigns,
that• Canadian business was mals
ing undue profits as a result of
the war, lies en answer in *the
form of a report from the Bank
of Canada, says the Brantford Ex-
positor:
As ,quoted„ by' the Winnipeg Free
Press,' this report shows that, of
ter examining nearly seven Mtn -
eked typical Canadian companies,
the Bank found that theft capital
investment had increased since
the war from '$ 3,900,000,000 to $4,-
100,000,000,
4;100,000,000, However net profits
after taxes had been paid lncreas`
ed from $204,000,000 to only $293,•
000,090.
As the Winnipeg paper Points
out,- the percentage of profit on
capital invested has thus risen
from six and seven -tenths per
cent. Profits have been !tekl down
to an insiginicant increase, .. de-

Times Journal: in spite of efforts
to' entourage -rbc disinfection of
seeding grain against smut and
othertypes of disease,. tile loss
incurred by such maladies . is, still
too high on oats and barley crops.
Investigation- made in the field
show that smut exists in up to 50
per cent of sotue crops. Itt each

been disinfected before sowing or
