Capacity to Meet War Needs
BANK OF MONTREAL'S 122nd ANNUAL MEETING
While emphasizing the gravity
of the present world situation in
its bearing on Canada, Huntly R.
Drummond, president of the Bank
of Montreal; at the 12211c1 annual
meeting of shareholders voiced h's
belief in the essential • unity or
the Canadian people and confi-
donee in their ability to weather
the storms that might lie ahead.
"We stand a united country in
our war effort," declared 12r.
Drummond. "It remains for us to
bring the full strength of 'a uni-
ted Canada to the work of pro-
seeutii:g the war to a successful
.conclusion while at the safne
time keeping our affairs so in
'land that we may enter the re-
adjustments of post -wag condi-
tions as free of inflation as pos-
sible, with debts at the minimum
possible and with morale un-
impaired.
"I am confident that just as
we have entered as a unified Can-
ada into the fiery ordeal of war,
so we shall emerge, a nation one
at heart but more mature in
thought and aspiration, ready to
go forward as a Member of the.
British Commonwealth of Nations
to the great destiny which un-
doubtedly awaits this country."
Government Controls
Among the subjects of public
Interest he discussed, Mr. Drum-
mond referred to the government•
al measures for the stabilization
of supply and prices for "the
more efficient prosecution of the
war." While he recognized their
necessity and pointed out that
business institutions, including his
bank, were co-operating to the
fullest extent with the govern-
ment, he made it clear to his
hearers that these regulations
were a restricting influence on
business. As soon as the conditions
which made then necessary no
longer existed, they should, he
said, be abolished.
In the natter of taxation and
' public finance, the president urg-
ed adherence, as far as was prac-
ticable, to a "pay-as-you-go" pol-
icy.
"But it is in reducing expendi-
ture in non -essentials," Mr. Drum-
mond declared, "that our Govern-
ment can give a lead to Canad-
ians. Sectional needs should no
longer be given first place, nor
should our railway problem, with
its cost to the country of a hund-
red million dollars per annum, be
• left unsolved:

Speaking at the meeting also
was Jackson Dodds, who present-
ed on behalf of himself and his
fellow general manager, G. W.
Spinney, a financial statement
which revealed new high figures
in the history of the institution.
Assets Over Billion Mark
Touching upon the fact that
fee the fist time in the bank's
history the items on the balance
sheet amounted to over a thous-
and million dollars, he said these
figures were a measure of the
hank's responsibility to the pub-
lic, and as the problems which this
responsibility entailed were so
widely misunderstood, it was per-
haps permissible to say a few
words on the subject.
Nothing could be further from
th. truth, he proceeded. than the
claim frequently made that the
banks were reluctant to risk their
money in loans to business, pre-
ferring the supposedly easier
course of holding securities. "Our
deposit liabilities do indeed re-
quire us always to hold a due
proportion of high grade secur-
ities as a supplementary reserve
against them," he said. "But be-
yond such requirements we would
prefer in all circumstances to use
our lendable funds in sound ad-
vances to foster industry, trade
and commerce. Our organization.
with its nation -nide system of
branches, has been developed with
this purpose particularly in view.
In consideration both of service
to the country and of profitable
business te ourselves, we naturally
wish to see our facilities fulfill-
ing their purpose to the fullest
possible extent.
"Unfortunately our readiness to
lend to creditworthy borrowers
does not affect their disposition
to apply for loans, for the de-
mand for commercial loans de-
pends upon the state of trade and
the prospects of profitable use of
borrowed money. The fact that
the condition of the markets for
many of Canada's principal pro-
ducts has in recent years prevent-
ed anything like a full recovery
of business activity or of com-
modity prices has therefore limit-
ed the inducement to borrow, and
has confronted us with the prob-
lem of finding other use for our
funds. The possibility of seeking
a way out of this situation by re-
laxing our standard of safety in
lending money is of course pre-
cluded by our obligations to dee
Modern
Etiquette
BY ROBERTA LEE
Q. When a person with whom
one is talking mispronounces a
word, is it all right to use the same
ward a minute later and pronounce
•
it correctly?
A. No. Unless the person is very
stupid it is obvious to slim that you
are making a correction. It is bet-
ter to avoid using that particular
word.
Q. When the secretary of a bus-
iness man asks a caller to please
state his business with her employ-
er, should the caller comply??
A. Yes, because the secratarY
has no doubt been instructed to
1
ask this question. When• refused,
the majority of employers, if busy,
will ignore the caller.
Q. What does it inchoate when
a man, leaving the dinner table,
leaves his napkin in his chair?
A. It would seen to indicate that
this man is from the timber lands.
Q. What is a good definition of
jealousy?
A. Shenstone's definition is,
"Jealousy is the apprehension of
superiority." For example, if a
young man is jealous of a rival's
favor in the eyes of a girl, it is an
admission that this rival is super-
ior in some way.
Q. Should one cut buttered po-
tatoes with a knife?
A. No; the fork should be used.
Q. What is the most popular bou-
tonniere for ushers at a church
wedding?
A. A white carnation.

Plan To Cease
Use Of "Oyez"
British Columbia will drop a
quaint old ceremony which had
its origin in the days of Norman
rule over Britain if the provin-
cial Legislature approves amend-
ments to the Elections Act now
being prepared by a special com-
mittee of the House.
The ceremony is that in which
the returning officer at an elec-
tion reads a proclamation begin-
ning with the words, "Oyez, oyez,
oyez," at the close of nomin-
ations. The phrase, meaning
"hear ye," was first used by per-
sons making proclamations for
Britain's Norman kings in the
llth century.
