"PAGE TWELVE THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 4, 1940 ASSESSED FINE FOR VIOLATION TRAFFIC ACT Evidence of Drivers Heard In Court Today An accident on Simcoe street worth on the evening of November 12 was the subject of a heated con- troversy in Oshawa police court this morning when Harry M. Collis, 31 McLaughlin boulevard, was charged with passing another car when the voad ahead was not sufficiently clear of traffic. The other car in- volved in the dispute was driven by Col. J. F. Grierson, K.C,, 239 Sim- «coe street north. The complainant, Col. Grierson, alleged that he had backed his car out of his lane onto the street car tracks, located in the centre of the street. After starting his car in a southerly direction Col. Grierson alleged his car came into collision with the car driven by Mr. Collis which was passing another slow- moving car proceeding north, in the same direction as the accused's car. Mr. Collis alleged that when he turned out to pass the slow-moving car he saw Col. Grierson's car in the centre of the street but that after he had begun to pass the car ahead of him, the complainant's car began to move in a south-east- erly direction reducing the space between Col. Grierson's car and the His Worship Magistrate Ebbs, found that Collis was guilty of pass- ing a car without the proper clear- ance necessary and assessed him | $10 and costs.

What ever else was discussed, whole question of British financial resources and her ability to buy | war materials in this country. This financial question, it was au- | thoritatively reported, was a major | topic, although the meeting was not | for the purpose of considering whe- | ther the United States should ad- vance money to help Britain. While not ccnnecting the matter | with yesterday's special meeting, the New York Herald Tribune re- | ported today, however, that the sub- ject of a British loan already had been advanced. The newspaper said that Marriner | 8. Eccles, chairman of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve system, had proposed at a private New York meeting last week that the United, States make Britain a | $2,500,000,000 loan, the security to | lien on the British Empire's | PMduction for the next five | oon prea years. Eccles, capacity when he suggested the loan to a gathering of bankers, indust- rialists and ecconomists. Yesterday's conferenge of high government officials 'here, one source indicated, may have been a result--as far as financial aspects went--of the Marquess of Lothian's | recent statement that Britain's re- sources were. dwindling to the point where she would need monetary as well as material assistance. This statement by the British ambassa- dor created a stir of controversy on Capitol Hill and 'elsewhere. There has been a great subsequent demand, it was learned, for infor mation on Britain's exact status. Manufacturers want to know wheth- er it is financially safe to accept further orders, and if the millions they have spent to handle British | orders will be repaid. Another source of concern has been what would happen to Ameri- | can export trade if British resources should become exhausted. The em- pire now takes about 60 per cent of all United States exports, and a sud- den, complete collapse of this big market would be a heavy blow to British sources also were under- stood to be apprehensive lest Lord Lothian's remarks have an adverse effect on the extent and tempo of the aid now flowing across the At- lantic to the United Kingdom.
