E. Neill, General Manager, posits Held Up Remarkably Well in Face of Trying Condi- tions--Strong Liquid Position Maintained. The annual meeting of The Royal | Bank of Canada brought together a very large number of shareholders | and the addresses submitted by Sir| Herbert S. Holt, the President, and! Edson L. Pease, Vice-President and | Managing Director, indicated that in | a Sencry) way conditions had improv- | ed to a very considerable extent, both | in Canada and in the outside coun-| tries which are served by the Bank. | Sir Herbert, in his address, made it quite clear that banking conditions in the past few years had been diffi- | cult and expressed the opinion that mever in the history of banks had | they been subjected to a severer test | than in the past two years of depres- sion and deflation. Fortunately, the earning power qf the Royal and its reserves were such that it had emerged with its vitality, stability reserves unimpaired. The last twelve | months had aggravated the problems of disturbed Europe, whereas Canada | had strengthened her position among the nations. Production had in-| ereased, our credit was never higher and the Canadian dollar had gained | in purchasing power in "almobt all| the markets of the world. | Vigorous Immigration Policy Needed | Regarding the future outlook, Sir | Herbert considered that the unfavor- | able feature is the unsettled Euro- | pean situation. In Canada there was | 'reason to look forward to the coming | year with a great degree of confi- | dence, based upon the prospect that | 'the present industrial activity will | continue during 1923, that exports | would improve, that there is no sur- | plus of goods on the shelves to cause | & reaction and that the banking situ- ation is secure; in fact, has probably | never been better. As to Canada's! Breatest need to meet her increas- | ing debt, there was urgency for a| vigorous immigration policy to open LUQ B new era of development.

Revision of Bank Act. : Dealing with the decennial révi- sion of the Bank Act, which calls for | action at the fo coming session of Parliament, Sir Her said: "I feel confident that, as in the past, the subject will be considered solely from the point of view of the commercial welfare of the Domin- ion and that few changes will be found necessary or advisable, No banking statute yet deviséd can pre- vent some hardship in times of de- pression, but we can claim for our system that all the moneys entrust. ed to us have been absolutely secure during the trying days of deflation, while in almost every other country of the world there have been some depositors who have lost their sav- ings." In concluding his address, Sir Her- bert announced that Mr. Edson L. Pease had decided to relinquish the office of Managing Director and Chief { Executive' Officer, as he desired to lighten his responsibilities after forty years of service in the Bank. He Was pleased to say, however, that Mr. Pease will continue as Director and Vice-President. The office of Man- aging Director will be discontinued and the General Manager will be- come the Chief Executive Officer. Managing Director's Address Edson L. Pease, Vice-President and Managing Director, in his address, said, in part: "The President, having fn his ad- dress fully covered the general situ- ation in Canada, and the General Manager the bank's internal position, 1 shall deal briefly, with the business of the bank in foreign fields. "Each year sees the bank more solidly established in the foreign fields we have selected, and better equipped in every way to aid in that foreign commetce which forms a quarter of the total trade of the Do- minion. «The advantages of direct re- presentation are brought home to us daily. The intimate knowledge that our officers acquire In the territory wherein they are placed enables us to give an efficient credit service and to. offer opportunities for reciprocal trade. "I visited last winter our branches in Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay.

It had been one of her father's wedding presents to Mabel and it tlways reminded Sabre of the Dean's, her father's voice. The Dean's voice boomed, swelling into a loud boom when he was in mid-speech and reverberating into a distant boom as his periods terminated. This was the warning gong for lunch. In ten minutes, in this perfectly ordered house, a different gong, a set of chimes, would announce that lunch' was ready. The reverberations had | scarcely ceased when Low Jinks, al- though she had caused the reverbera- tidns, appeared in his room with a brass can of hot water. "Mr. Boom Bagshaw has not arriv- | ed yet, sir," said Low Jinks; "but the | mistress thought we wouldn't wait any longer." She displaced the ewer from the basin and substituted the brass can. She covered the can with a white towel, uncovered the soap dish, and disappeared, closing the door as soft ly as if it and the doorpost were pad- ded with velvet. Perfect establish. ment, Sabre washed his hands and went down. Mabel was in the morning room seated at the gentre table where the flowers had been and where now was her embroidery basket. She was em- broidering, an art which, in common with all the domestic arts, she per- formed to perfection. "Bagshaw's late?" said Sabre. Mabel glanced at the clock. Her gesture above her busy needle was pretty. "Well, he wasn't absolutely sure about coming, I thought we wouldn't wait. Ah, there he is." Sabre thought, "Good. That business is over. Nothing in it. Only Mabel's way." Sounds in the hall. "In the morning room," came Low Jink's voice, "Lunch . . . wash your hands, sir?" There was only one person in all England who, arriving at Crawshaws, would not have been gently but firmly enfolded by the machin-like order of its perfect administration and been led in and introduced with rites proper to the occasion. But that one person was the Reverend Cyril Boom Bag- shaw, and.he now strolled acrosg the thresheld and into the room. = WI He strolled in. He wore a well made suit of dark grey flannel, brown brogue shoes and a soft collar with a black tie tied in a sailor's knot. He disliked clerical dress and he rarely wore it. He was dark. His good look- ing face bore habitually a rather sulky expression as though he were a little bored or dissatisfied. You would never have thought, to look at him, that he was a clergyman or as he would have said, a priest and in not thinking that you -would have paid him the com. pliment that pleased him most. This was not because Mr. Boom Bagshaw lacked earnestness in his calling, for he wai suotuGusly i cnmest Bue be- cause i and the con. ventional ed and manners and ap- rand, in any being one of a no clergyman wears a monocle.

He directed the fork at Sabre and after an impressive moment spoke: "You know, Sabre, I don't think you're quite alive to what it is that is growing up about you. Flippancy is out of place. I abominate flippancy." ("Well, dash it, it's my house!" Sa- bre thought) This Garden Home is not & speculation. It's not a fad. It's not a joke. What is it? You're think- ing it's a damned nuisance.

He paused, pushed his plate to one side more as if it had bitten him than as if he desired more ham to be plac. ed upon it, and looked around the room before him, sulkily, and exercis- ing his chin, (To be Continued.)

As he sat negligently swinging his leg he frequently strained his chin up- wards and outwards, rather as if his collar were tight (but it was neatly loose), or as if he were performing an exercise for stretching the muscles of his neck. This was a habit of his. VII A silver entree dish was placed be. fore Mabel, another before Sabre. Low Jinks removed her 'mistress's cover and Mr. Boom Bagshaw pushed aside a flower vase to obtain a view. "I don't eat salmon," he remarked. The vase was now between himself and Sabre. He again moved it, "Or cutlets." Mabel exclaimed, "Oh, dear! Now I got this salmon in specially from Tidborough." "I'l! have some of that ham." said Mr. Boom Bagshaw; and he arose sulkily and strolled to the sideboard where he rather sulkily cut from a ham in thick wedges. The house was clearly his house. He addressed himself to Mabel. "Now in a very few weeks you'll no longer have to get things from Tid- borough, Mrs. Sabre--salmon or any- thing else. The shops in Market Square are going the minute they're complete. I got a couple of fish. mongers only yesterday." He spoke as if he had shot a brace of fishmongers and slung them over his shoulder and flung them into Market Square. Market Square was that portion of the Garden Home de- signed for the shopping centre. "Two"! said Mabel, "Two. 1 encourage competition. No one is going to sleep in the Gar. den Home." "What will all the bedrooms be us ed for then?" Sabre inquired. Mr. Boom Bagshaw, who was eat- ing his ham with a fork only, holding it at its extremity in the tips of his fingers and ofcasionally flipping a piece of ham into his mouth and swal- lowing it without visible mastication, flipped in another morsel and with his right hand moved three more vases which stood between himself and Sa- bre. He moved each deliberately and reverend gentleman. And this was ' $0 Cents » box. all dealers, or Rdmanson, Bates & Co, Lad., Toronto x - -
