KINGSTON'S Face IN THE In the estimates brought down in the House of Commons this week ap- pear the following items: To improve Toronto harbor, $1,700,000; for the Welland ship canal, $5,500,000; for construction and betterments on the Trent Canal, $400,000. Not a cent has been voted toward the improve- ment or nationalization of the Kings: ton harbor, though, through its situ- ation at the foot of lake navigation, 00 | it has become one of the most im- 300 | portant harbors on the Great Lakes. The story, aired so often in the press and in the House of Commons, that Sir Henry Drayton, Kingston's federal member, had "promised 'a huge subsidy to this city, vanishes | into thin air. Sir Henry has denied the allegation not once but many times, but small-fry oppogition per- sists in reiterating the report. Kings- ton's interests have sériously suffer- ed as a result. ; The fact that a local man, with commendable public ambitions, made a grave mistake, should not preclude this city from reaping the rich ad- vantages which its natural lecation has justly entitled it to expect.

' Business men are being warned to prepare for a "rainy day" 'and to so conduct thelr operations that they may not be caught with their assets tied up when the slump, that is. re- gardéd as ineVitable, comes. William Moffatt, general manager of the Imperial Bank, is quoted in theFinancial Post of March 20th as saying: "The time is coming when ¢ustomers will want all the loose money they can lay their hands on. Whether that will be in six months or two years I don't know. Business men should keep their assets as Hquid as possible, If their profits are all going into buildings and equipments when 'the Inevitable break comes they will find it diffi- cult to finsnce theif gffairs" Every business man should try to keep in- dependent of the banks." Other bankers and business men are sounding similar warnings, and 'suggesting that effective means be employed by merchants to protect their business. All of their utter- ances are based upon a premonition of the coming drop from present high prices to much lower levels, and, in anticipation of this, banks are beginning to tighten up on eredit, and before very long will begin to ask merchants to pay off some of their credit. If all of their profits are sunk in assets that cannot be liquidated, how can this be dong? Merchants are counselled to watch their collections and Invest their sur- plus in Victory Bonds or something of a similar character that may be, readily liquidated. Money has been plentiful, times have besn prosper. ons, end during the past two years there seemed to be no shadows ahead. But prices have scared high- or and higher from week to week and from 'month to month, and the feel- ing 1s gaining ground that the peak bas almost been reached amd that there must be a turn in the road Business men are the backbone of this country, and they should be the first to fortify themselves against the "imevitable break." When banke gin to talk this WAY "there must be something be- hind it that calls for the serious con~ sideration of everyone who is earn- ipg and spending, for as prices go down, what about wages? The time is surely opportune for ull to spend less and plan their expenditu.es in such a manner that ther» will bea balance on the right side. While this is good adyice at all times, it comes now with greater significance especially to the business man who might be inclined to book foo heavily for the future rather than to figures on quick turnovers, while handling: stoke that are adequate. : ns ts PUBLIC OPINION x 3 It Britain a Wine... = Seal Fane TSE Mt coved Suiusion, anil Britain fs wise] A em of the Hamtt him strictly | his own territories, The.
