White ,Announces That the Dominion Stands Ready to /site Dominion Notes Against Securities Deposited By the Hanks —Banking Houses May Make Payments In Nates. OTTAWA, Aug. 4,—After a. .cabi- netma e tin last g • evening, Hon, W. T. White, Minister of Finance, issued the following statement: "Having regard to the world-wide. financial crisis which has developed upon the outbreak of hostilities: in Europe, and in vie - of the action of the Imperial. Government for conserv- ing the financial and commercial in- terests of the United Kingdom, the Minister of Finanoe announces on be-' half of the Dominion Government, that ,while .it is not probable that such action on its part will be requir- ed, it stands ready to issue Dominion notes to such amount as may be ne- cessary against securities deposited by the banks and approved by, the Minister of Finance." "The Minister of Finance further announces that the Government has authorized the chartered banks of Canada to mane payments "in bank notes instead of gold or Dominion notes until further official ;announce- ment in that behalf. This action. will tend to conl.erve the Canadian' gold supply against demands from for- eign sources, a course now being fol- lowed by all the 1. ading nations of the world. "The Minister further announces that the Government has authorized the chartered banks of Canada to is- sue excess circulation to an amount not exceeding 15 per cent, of their combined, unimpaired, paid-up capi- tal and rest or reserve fund from this date until further official announce- ment. Any necessary special legislation will be obtained at the next 'session of Parliament: "The Minister further announdes that the Government is prepared, if necessity should arise, to give every other possible assistance in order to prevent any avoidable interruption of stable business conditions, and for. this purpose it will not hesitate to use to the fullest extent all existing powers, and to ask further powers from:Parliament if that course should seem necessary or expedient. When the Cabinet rose at 10.40 o'clock last night the. Prime Minister stated that he had no further an- nouncement to make.. He had receiv- ed n tbe no newsf o a t e ImP erial Gov- ernment. . Yesterday was a day of suspense such as the capital had never seen before. The report of Sir Edward Grey's speech in the British Commons was read with profound interest and it was felt that now it was only a matter of a very short time, perhaps_ only a matter of hours, before Bri- tain would be involved in the great European struggle and Canada's part would be to take her place by Bri- tain's side. There were conferences among the Ministers yesterday Morn- ing and the Cabinet met both after- noon and evening. They received copies of all press despatches received by cable during the day. A number of important steps were taken yesterday inpreparation for the impending crisis. These included precautionary measures to protect the financial systein of the country, the establishment of a system of censor- ship, including a chief censor and a representative in each of the cable of- fices, the placing of the shipping passing up and down the St. Lew- rence under 'military supervision, and the calling for volunteers from ex -navy men to man the cruiser Niobe. There was a report here last night that the Government was negotiating for the purchase of three Dread- noughts now being built in British shipyards for Turkey and Chile. They would be ready in six months. Parliament would be called to vote the money to pay for them. Manitoba Offers Men. WINNIPEG, Aug. 4: — Premier Roblin issued the following state- ment early yesterday: "At a meeting at Government House to -night it was decided, in the event of the mother country becom- ing involved in actual hostilities, to organize and equip a battalionof infantry 10,000 strong, and offer it through the proper channels at Ot- tawa to the home authorities, as a slight evidence of • Manitoba's ap- preciation of being a part of the Brit- ish Empire." Col. Steele, D.O.C. for this district, say r there will be no difficulty in raising 10,000 men from this district alone. Flour and Sugar Go Up. MONTREAL, Aug. 4.—Flour and sugar prices have gone up. A bulletin received yesterday after- noon states that the flour millers have advanced the prices by 30 cen£s, a barrel, owing to the increased de- niend from wholesalers and retailers.
