HALPERN, Rabbi W,. LINDER, Cantor THE QUAKER‘S ANSWER St. Paul‘s Church Minister : Bank of Montreal Continues to Expand With New Records svanding expansion in holdings of Doâ€" minion Government bonds indicating wider participation in the nation‘s war effortâ€"the 126th annual report of the PBank of Montreal, issued today, shows total assets at an allâ€"time high of $1,â€" 313,000,000 amd may be regarded as an impressive exhibit of the economic strength of the country in this fifth year of war. Profits for the year which ended Octoâ€" her 30, after deduction of taxes payable o the Dominion CGovernment, amountâ€" ed to $3,302,834, showing an increase of $19,816 over the previous year, this reâ€" presenting a return, of 4.30 per cent on the shareholder‘s‘ equity, which comâ€" pares with 4.31 per cent shown a year ago; 4.51 per cent. was shown in the 1941 report. With greater business acâ€" tivity, this figure might have been exâ€" pected to be higher, but increased taxes have practically offset the effect of enlarged gross earnings. At a figure nearly $375,000 higher. than in 1942, the bank‘s Dominion Government tax bill for the current year amounted to $2,â€" 913,000. Of this amount, $165,000 is reâ€" fundable under the provisions of the Excess Profits Tax Act. Reflecting increased business in pracâ€" tically every department â€" with outâ€" Resources Over $1,313,000, 000, with Nearly $800,000,â€" 080 in Government and Other Bonds. The net profits at $3,302,834 were disâ€" tributed to shareholders to the extent of $2,160,000 which compares with $2,â€" 700,000 last year, and an amount of $500,000 was written off! bank premises. This left a balance of $642,834 to be added to the previous balance of $1,â€" in the profit and loss account. leaving the amount in this account at $1,879,521. Denosits at Record Deposits â€" the largest item in the palance sheet and one which best show» public confidence in the institutionâ€" have shown a marked advance in the twelveâ€"month pericd, notwithstanding the heavy inroaas made into surplus funds by subscribers to Victory Loans. Under the deposit neading the bank shows n amount of 1,205,874,000 whicn is $1406,000,000 about the figure for 1942, which constituted a at that time Commercial and other loans at $226,â€" 399,000 are only slightly higher. Thic is in line with the trend of recent years in which the need for banking accomâ€" modation has been substantially deâ€" creased. There is the fact also that many firms engaged in peaceâ€"time purâ€" suits, with much reduced production, are not now requiring the financial asâ€" sistance needed in former years. Like commercial loans, call loans have shown some increase and now amount to $22,036,000 as against $16,â€" 210,000 in 1942. Government Hcldings Rise Sharply As would be expected, the bank‘s holdings of Government and other seâ€" curities have risen sharply and now stand at $799,462,000 compared with $683,835,000 a year ago. <« The bank‘s investment portfolio, as always, is made up in large measure of Dominion Govâ€" ernment and highâ€"grade provincial and municipal securities which mature at early dates. In line with this is the increase in the bank‘s quickly available resources which amount to $1,035,610,000, being 83.81 per cent of liabilities to the public. An increase of nearly $10,000,000 in these resources is recorded on deposit with the Bank of Canada which togetâ€" her stand at $122,277,000 as against $112,710,000. With total resources amounting to $1,313,064,000 and liabilities to the public aniounting to $1,235,631,000, there is left an excess of resources of $77,433,000. This is comprised of the capital of $36,â€" ©00,000 and reserve fund, profit and loss account and reserve for dividends toâ€" talling $41,433,000 which together reâ€" present the sharholders‘ equity in the bank. Notes of the bank in circulation show a reduction from $15,354,000 to $9,790,â€" Q00, reflecting the trend which began some years ago when, under the terms of revised banking legislation, the charâ€" tered banks commenced the gradual reâ€" duction of their note circulation in faâ€" vour of the Bank of Canada. Karl Partanen Sentenced to Six Months in Prison The Grand Jury at Cochrane last week returned a true bill against Karl Partanen on a charge of wounding with intent. The case arose from a stabbingz affray in Timmins on July 28th. At the preliminary hearing at Timmins Aku Kornohonan told about meeting Partanen in a beverage room where they taiked some politics, but were not apparently "mad at each other." Later, Partanen met Kornoâ€" honen on the street and invited him mressineclvy to 2o to a blind pizg and pressing Sequel Last Week at Cochâ€" rane Court to Stabbing Afâ€"| fair in Timmins Last July. honen on the street and invited him pressingly to go to a blind pig and have amother drink. Kornohonan said he agreed very reluctantly. According to Kornohonen‘s evidence, while the two men were going down the dark part of a lere between Balsam and Birch, Kcrmnchonen was stabbed in the back and he heard Partanen‘s voite say:â€" I‘m still Mannerhetn‘s man." He was stabbed several times after that when he ran away. Eventually he was lying en the gsround and thought his assailâ€" <â€"Ottawa The Canadian Army, afiter a goal of 100,000 more personnel for the 1943â€"44 fiscal year, had reached at the end of september, a net intake of 63,580 and mnet discharges of 21,120. Total intake was 55,188 volunteers, 29,602 callâ€"ups. We don‘t know but that we should hbe cothered about an alarming situation wherein, the convictions for infractions of the law in Canada during the first three years of this war increased 30.6 per cent. There were 420,9175 convicâ€" ticns in 1936 and 632,431 in 1942. The worst of it is of course that juvenile deâ€" linauency has jumped up badly, way past the adults.. Among the juveniles major convictions increased 37.9 per cent. In short our convictions increased lwice as fast during the war years as during the peacetime period. Figures show that the expansion of Canada‘s natjonal economy has been tremendous in its swing from a purely peacetime production to a vast and complex industrial mechanism. Ten days before war was declared total deâ€" posits in banks of Canada were $2,524,â€" 000,000. At Sept. 30, 1943, these depoâ€" sits had grown to $4,085.000,000. . Bank notes climbed from $210,000,000 to $747,â€" 000,000. In four yvears our total trade jumped 167 per cent, and our national income from less than five billions to something around $9,000,000,000. It may not be generally known yet, but farmers and cther primary produâ€" cers can purchase lumber for new buildâ€" ings essential for storing grain or housâ€" ing livestock at 10 per cent below curâ€" rent retail price through payment of a subsidy by the Stability Corporation, a branch of the Wartime Prices and Trade Board. The subsidy is also payâ€" able to fishermen, coâ€"operatives, uninâ€" corported associations and incorporated farms. It also may be granted in assistâ€" ing the restoration of essential business buildings when the proprietor is himself bearing the cost of rebuilding. The rulâ€" ing says: "Any civilian purchasing lumâ€" ber for use in assisting the primary proâ€" duction of essential foods is eligible for a consumer subsidy."

Judge Danis sertenced Partanen to six months‘ imprisonment. thes shown as exhibits in the case as those of the wounded man had nct been in police custody after the assault. Anâ€" other cdd piece of evidence in the case was the finding of a hat, with the inâ€" itials "G.B." inside. Though found at the scene of the stabbing this hat did rot belong to either Partanen or Korâ€" mohon@n, and there was that there had been a third man aâ€" round, though the police found no trace of such a third man.

Delivery of hogs reached such treâ€" mendous proportions a short while ago that the Meat Board asked all packing plants in Quebec, Ontario and the praiâ€" rie provinces to slaughter no more sows until all regular classes of finished hogs at yards and plants were slaughtered. A recent week saw an allâ€"time slaughâ€" tering of about 192,000 hogs, greater by 1©,000 than any previous week. The congested situation was not confined to Canada, but prevailed in the United States, too. The Board pointed out that as two regular hogs can be processed with about the same amount of labor, as one sow, and as additional weight goes not lower the eventual value of sows temporarily held back, this was the J1€ The legations of Canada at Washingâ€" ton and of the United States at Ottawa are being raised to the rank of emâ€" bassies.
