ALL WAR ACCOUNTS SETTLED, THIS YEAR Payments from Germany Settled With Property Seized Here , Ottawa, July 29.--All the outstand- ing accounts arising out of the war in which Canada has an interest are scheduled to be cleared away this year, Incidental to the coming trip of government members and omiciah to the League of Nations assembly at Geneva in September these matters are expected to be adjusted. e only country with which a clearing house arrangement exists is Germany and with it everything is now pretty well settled up, but no such plan was followed in regard to Austria, Hungary or Bulgaria, and it is with these that negotiations are to be concluded, It will be necessary to give an official accounting of all transactions, All Canadian claims against Austria have been liquidated and Austrian property held in cus. tody will be returned. Hungary is indebted to C of separa [$750 o Canada to the extent of $750,000. From out of the funds held in custody from different enemy coun- tries, the International Court's judg- ment for $750,000 in favor of the Massey-Harris Company was paid and this amount is now to be re- funded by that country. Outstanding accounts with Bulgaria amount to only about $60,000. Give an Account So far as Germany is concerned all that remains is to account for and give particulars of claims against that country which have been paid out here. This was done out of property securities or Germany money in Cana- dian banks which were seized dur- ing the war and which have heen dis- posed of in accordance with the Peace Treaty, It is planned to clear up all outstanding matters with the former enemy countries by the end of the year, As regards war reparations there will be no development till the next session of Parliament. The commis- sioner has assessed the damages, the aggregate of claims allowed being about eight millions. No legal obli- gation exists to make payments, and therefore what is paid will be on grounds of compassion or equity. There is every likelihood of the small- er claims being met to the extent of the assessment. The greatest bulk of them are in the Maritime Pro- vinces for the loss of fishing vessels, although, in many other places, a variety of claims for losses were en- tertained. Some of the large compa- nies were industrious at the last ses- sion in agitation for action without delay. Their claims, too, will be con- sidered but the extent to which they will be paid is more problematical.

The petitions, one of which is now being signed at Robertshaw's Book Store, are asking the government to replenish Lake Scugog next year with two and a half million large mouth bass, two and a half million small mouth bass, and 100,000 pickerel fry every year for five years, If a suffi- ciently large number of people sign the petition, there is little doubt that the government will accede to the request.

Is the merger in the publie in- interest? If so, the Government should show wherein the benefit lies, Surely the Administration considered the question from the standpoint of the public before authorizing the amalgamation, If it did, there ought to be no hes» tation ahout speaking. If it did not, there may seem to be an' excuse for keeping silence, But it is not dictated by wisdonr or cour- age. The voters are not likely to ae- cept the assumption that the Gov- evrnment has no obligation to ex- plain its action in such matters, Banks are becoming alarmingiy few, The feeling is spreading In the East and in the West that Ottawa 1s responsible for this. It ger will be completed without a great popular reaction unless the Government is able to present con- vincing proof that the country is the gainer, One reason offered for this move --but not by the Government-- was that banking service in the West would he improved, Yet two influential Western papers, both Liberal, have expressed their dis- approval of the merger in strong terms, and it is significant that they have addressed it to the au- thorities at Ottawa. '"The reasons for the merger are plain on the face of the statement," comrments the Manitoba Free Press. "The shareholders of the Standard Bank can clean up a bit of money by selling out to the Bank of Commerce; while the Bank of Commerce can increase its size, its capitalization and its im- portance, and thus make a better showing with its rival banks, In this race of our banking institu- tions no small bank is safe any more, It is useless to expect the banks to do anything to check this tendency, The smaller banks are willing to be ahsorbed if there is anything in it for them; and tne big banks are willing to absorb Great bar- public is the Dominion Govern. ment, whose consent to an amal- gamation is necessary, This pro- tection, to date, has been worth- less, We presume that in a mat- ter of this importance, Mr, Robh would not act without the approvat of his colleagues, Mr, King and his whole Government must thus be held responsible for this failure to protect the public, We believe that public opinion, and Libera: opinion particularly, from one ena of Canada to the other will ve. gard the complaisance of the Gov. ernment in this respect as a brea & of trust. We suggest that ths Government reconsider {ts action and intervene even at this late hour, to prevent this amalgame tion." The Morning Leader of Re r» expresses belief that "it speais 'ps voice of the majority of the «+i zens of this country In wi vg with apprehension the preposet merger of the Canadian Bank of Commerce and the Standa:d Bank."
