SAVE THE GASOLINE

The Fuelv Controller, after investigat- ing, that is, after he has tlmroughly in- } formed himself as to the situation and found it necessary, is appealing to the peo- ple of Canada to save gasoline for war pur- poses by discontinuing, as far as possible, the running of automobiles on Sundays. This campaign opened last Sunday and re- ports from all over Canada go to show that it was very enerally complied with. Of course there ere exceptions almost everywhere; there were a few exceptions in our own province, but the great major- ity here and elsewhere. faithfully refrain-

Possibly this may yet have to be resort— ed to. In the meantime conservation is at- tempted by appealing to the patriotism of the people, by simply asking the people to cut out pleasure driving on Sundays. There may be a better way; in the mean- time this is the only way suggested and it is up to all loyal people to adopt it. The soldiers at the front may see an easier way to Berlin than the way they are going but they cheerfully take the road pointed out , by their generals; “theirs not to. reason why, theirs but to do and die.” We also, we are true to them, will accept without questioning the request of those who know what is required; we are asked only “ to do,” and few of us will die’for want of an automobile outing on Sunday. . It is sin— cerely hoped for the credit of the

industry. In view of these prospective condi- tions it is submitted that i is not surpris-

ing that British bankers should take steps to concentrate their interests and reserves,

The scheme of Lloyd’s to take in the other institutions referred to is described as the most important arrangement that has ever taken place throughout the whole history of British banks, ﬁrst by reason. of the magnitude of the scale on which tlit scheme is carried through and secondly on account of the nature of the plan and its- comprehensiveness. purely English undertaking the bank may now be regarded as an international insti~ tution with its inﬂuence extending freely into Scotland—hitherto entirely untouch- ed by English banks—and southward and westward as far as Argentine, Uruguay, Brazil and Chili while, by reason Of prev- ious arrangements, it is interested in France and Italy—in the former country

English banking circles are at present interested in the proposed absorption by the Lloyd’s Bank of the stock of the Nat~ iOnal Bank of Scotland and of the River Plate Bank. In recommending this actor. to its shareholders the directors of Lloyd’s argue that the step is a constructive one in relation, to after-war industrial expansion on the ground that big business will re- quire big banks. It is pointed out that from the outbreak of the war up to the end of last year the question of bank amalgam- ation was more or less academic in charac- ter, but that towards the end of 1917, with the war question partially solved and con- sequently less insistent, and with peace is- sues and after-war problems having to be faced the thought of those responsible for the direction and management of the banking policy of the country was more actively diverted to the necessity of mak- ing all necessary preparations for meeting the difﬁculties to be encountered during the transitional period and of coping with the many new factors that the after-war situation will undoubtedly bring. The re-' sult had been a drawng together of various institutions to cope with after-war condi- tions when trade would be on a big scale and the demand for large institutions with powerful resources if it was to be ﬁnanced in adequate fashion. This t'rade situation as it will exist after the war in the opinion of Lloyd’s directors is outlined as follows;

First of all, it is evidentthat help will be required at home to cope with the demands that will even‘tuate for the ur- poses of restoration and the re-buil' 'ing of the fabric of industry destroyed orin-

_ Secondly, there is the trade with our overseas dorpinions and foreign coun- tries to be cared for, trade that of necessity has had to, be dropped durng these years of war. And beyond all this, there are the iiidere‘d, which, though not actual bellig- ”' have experienced the repercus- .\war effects. Our enormous _ trademmbeen «built'up through

For several years past a Students’ Mis-l sionary movement has been on foot among the Canadian Colleges, Dalhousie Univer- sity taking an active and prominent part in it. Recently the movement has been or—; ganized and is extendng its activities to' other Canadian Colleges with the aim of enlisting as many of the students as pos- sible in the Missionary cause. Through the efforts of the Dalhousie students Prince of. Wales College has alligned itself with the' movement and organization is now under- way.

Whilst not so large as that at Toronto, which it follows each year. it has many ex- hibits of a. character well worth see~ ins. and this year there are excellent racing and specialty programmes in front of the grand stand. Yesterday afternoon and evening the attendance broke all records. The horse races were a highly interesting part of the afternoon’s programme, the ﬁnishes in many cases being so close as to bring the spectators to their feet cheering wildly. The specialties in- cluded looping the loop, slack wlro walking. aerobnts, trick diving, and a blind horse ridden by n lady which did severe; stunts of ii. pleasing char- acter. There was also 0110 inevitable balloon ascension with parachute drop. The evening's performance had us an added attraction, 3 represent- ation of "The Battle of the Somme." in fire works. which was very realis- tic; and the show closed with a bril- liant display of ﬁreworks.
