I think it probable that these members of the London Stock Exâ€" change know more about London than ;they do about New York.

But have the United States people yet| developed that international consclousâ€" fness and that pervading sense of world responsibility and of their own world iinterests needed to become a world lcentre‘?

If they come out still fighting men they have been through the ages; the arts of peace are not beâ€" yond them, just as the arts of war will prove to be possible for peace lovers. Who wanted peace and prosperity more than the broker and the investment dealer last August? _ Yet they have risen quickly to the duties of wartime. "The London Stock Exchange crowd," says Mr. Walker, "have risen to the occasion better than almost any other class of people in Engzland. Not a man of military age and feéew men under 50 remain in business in the London finâ€" ancial district today. Brokerage firm members, clerks and other employees were among the first to join up as volâ€" unteers. Member firms of the London Stock Exchange have arranged to make up to their former employees now in the service all or a considerable part of the pay differential between their former salaries and their present miliâ€" ( PFrom Yesterday‘s Globe and Mail) While the German aerial armadas were â€" catapulted â€" yesterday against Engiand and vainly unloaded their carâ€" goes of moraleâ€"softener, the leading stocks traded on the New York Stock Exchange lost from 1‘ to 5 points in | a very short time. Confidence as to | ultimate victory remained during this testing period as high as it has ever been in the hearts of Britishers, but traders on Wall Street followed unreâ€" liably the good, old reliable rule of not letting their sympathies or their hunâ€" ches govern their money commitments and so trading adjusted prices to a point where they could allow the course of events to decide their further course. One Guess Only As to Europt‘s Best Fighters Insofar as preparations for our own home defense are concerned, it is abâ€" solutely essential for Canadians to give serious thought to what we will do if British resistange is o vercome. We should be all the more sedulous about it because we are so confident that the British have what it takes.

This was an absolutely unâ€" prejudiced opinion by one who did not go one iota further to predict the outâ€" come of the battle of England and apparently the same impression has been given a New York broker who has just returned from years of work in London. tary pay, regardless of the depressed volume of activity in the British marâ€" kets." Overâ€"Militaryâ€"Age Brokers "Carry On" an absolutely rormal manner, except for d@rastic reduction of personnel of the exchange itself and the depressing absence of every one of military age. While the great London banks and inâ€" surance companies have evacuated most of their operations to small towns fifty miles or more from London, the London Stock Exchange itself will not be removed from the City unless it becomes physically impossible to carry on there. Its usefulness in time of war as a vital factor in the economic balâ€" ance of the Empire, and its importance to the provincial exchanges in the inâ€" dustrial areas of England make its retention in London imperative.

Coderre, Eugene In its issue last week The Bowmanâ€" ville Statesman had the following reference to chain Jletters, once more on the go:â€" Ban the Chain Letter as a Fraudulent Racket "Police are investigating theâ€" recent epidemic of ‘chain letters‘ headed ‘Help Win the War‘ which have been floodâ€" ing the counitry urging the recipients to boost the sale of War Savings Certificates. "The letter appeals to the patriotic' instincts, suggesting that one can help' win the war by mailing a 25 cent war savings stamp to the first four names . on the chain letter and adding his own | name to the series of four letters. Of , course the inducement to keep the ‘ chain intact is personal gain; when | a name reaches the top of the list it is | possible to win 256 stamps for an origâ€" inal outlay of 25 cents. I "Individuals sponsoring the Savings Certificates strongly condemn this chain letter scheme and ask the public to refuse to participate in it. It also violates the law as these letters are prohibited transmission in the mails. In fact if the postman finds out any person is receiving these through the mail he can immediately suspend deâ€" livery. The chain letter method opens a way for fraud as the stamps Aare redeemable and who knows for what the money may be spent." markets, according to Mr. Walker, who, pointed out that such activity as reâ€" mains is confined to gildâ€"edged securi-‘ ties, in which British trusts have reâ€" cently been piclking up bargains in lowâ€" priced British securities affording high yields. All trading is on a cash basis, contango and backwardation for marâ€" gin trading having been eliminated as a war measure months ago. The British Are Thrice Armed In listening to claims of German and fifthâ€"column â€" radio broadcasts that German planes do great damage, it will be steadying to remember that a feature of the industrial reorganization of England incident to the war has been the duplication of nearly all major armament factories in isolated areas far from London, Birmingham, Liverâ€" pool and other industrial centres. Mr. Walker states that most of the comâ€" panies manufacturing planes, motors, munitions, motor trucks and other miliâ€" tary material could now continue operâ€" ations at a high rate even if their original factories were destroyed by bombardment simply by moving emâ€" ployees to the replacement plants thus constructed. many of them underâ€" ground. And, it might be added, we are providing a third reserve of indusâ€" trial supply in Canada, besides what is Ibought from United States industry. {:L{CTRIC es South Porcupine Hollinger McelIntyre 231 143 450 344 241 214 193 ‘185 167 125 080 407 333 302 200 366 250 250 080 129 122 | __Port Dover â€" Oneâ€"yearâ€"old James Farrest died instantly when he grabbed a radio wire in his home during a sevâ€" ere electircal storm.

The foot was injured some days ago when he jumped into the river to a boy who was in danger of being drowned in the treacherous waâ€" ters. He rescued the boy all right, as usual, but in the work he struck his leg against a log, with the consequent injury to his foot. He will be laid up for several days, maybs weeks, with the injury,. Mr. Robertson has literâ€" ally scores of rescues to his credit, having made a regular practice of savâ€" ing lives at the river, particularly durâ€" ing the time he acted as lifeguard _ there. Thig is the first time however, that any of the rescues has resulted in any injury, the injury in this case being to Mr. Robertson himself. Low Cost Houses Are Available Now Under Housing Act Up to the present one of the handiâ€" | caps in the enforcement of the Nationâ€" | al Housing Act in Timmins has been the difficulty of financing low cost | properties suitable to the purse of some families whose income did not permit. a large amount for the purchase of a house. In all cases where the Nationâ€" al Housing Act is followed, a prime conâ€" sideration is that the home shall conâ€" form to the standards set by the Act. This usually called for an outlay a litâ€" tle beyond many purses. Now, howâ€" ever, the Sun Life has arranged to provide loans up to ninety per cent. of the cost of house and lot, while Hillâ€"Clarkâ€"Francis have Gesigns in houses that permit the erection of the home that is fully up to the National Housing Act standards, and yet keeps within the $2,500 mark. This means a Possible to Secure Loan of 90 per cent. of $2,500 Property. very decided advantage for the man desiring to own his own home but who has only a limited amount of cash and can budget for only a limited monthly payment to finance the deal. The proâ€" Special government financing arrangements have been made by Hillâ€"Clarkâ€"Francis Limited, Timmins conâ€" tractors, for the building of lowâ€"cost homes. Fifty dollars is all the cash needed by a lot owner for the purchase of his house and monthly installments of $23.74 pay the balance in 120 mon{hs including interâ€" est. Shown here, it is modern in design and well built even to insulated walls and roof. Four comfortable rooms, porch and 3â€"piece bathroom are *provided. The granting of governmentâ€"guaranteed building loans on easier terms is further evidence of the staâ€" bility of the mining industry and the soundness of small homes as an investment.
