St. Ste! 5th Responsibility for theianka -In making the official statement that the government recognizes thel moral claim" of Home Bank depositors for compensation, Premi\er_King did not commit himself to any details. These he said would be forthcoming when the legislation isintroduced. The country will probably find `that "they provide for the payment of a per- centage of losses. The report of the committee on Banking and Commerce made at a previous session of Par- liament is thebasis of the decision which seems to open up a wide avenue! of responsibility by the government for; the entire banking system. of thisi country. It has always been difficult to convince a great many people. that the government does not guarantee against failure of the banks. T-he sus-. pension ofthe Home Bank emphasized this fact, however. If in the case of, depositors in that institution the gov-1 ernment makes good evensa percentage of losses, it is difficult to see how it can avoid the general application of the principle involved- It would al- most appear as if the entire banking act would have to be recast. THURSDAY, FEBRUARY .25, 1.925. \lIIbul IV -vIUI tuna u v u u -- The Ontario government has retusedl 1 a charter for a branch of the Ku Klux 1 Klan. No doubt the reports of the Klan's activities in the United States. was mainly responsible. It -is probably true that many of the outrages with which the Klan has been charged" across the line, were committed byi I I others. At the same time there seems to be plenty of evidence that the Klan has not hesitated to take the law in- to its own hands and has been re- sponsible for considerable trouble. Re- fusal to grant a charter in Ontario is a reminder that provincial govern- ments, as well as that of "the Domin-` ion, have wide discretionary powers, in , these and other matters. The adverseq decision may be only temporary it the , government is convinced that the Can-; adian Klan is a purely fraternal so- ciety. ` I 1 J rs Iluuyuvvpw --up--u--._ ---vv.

Themotor truck, the motor car and the motor bus, have not in- terfered with railway traffic here to the, extent that is recorded in some other countries. The fact that there is still much new territory to be op- ened up is an added reason for railway building in'the Dominion which 8.07 cording to the latest statistics had three thousand miles of road under, construction.
