“Alrcad_v.‘ ivrites Hon H. H. Stcv- "ns, btilustei‘ oi’ Trade and Com- nerce, in his article in the Gazette review on Canadian business and in- dustry, "the depression has been go- lng on for some fifteen months and would appear to have fairly spent its force." Certain troll-known phenomJ en: usually found toward the close of major depressions and now in evi- dence in Canada, he writes, indicate the probability that there wiill be bet- ter times in I931, Among these indi- cations are the excess of savings de- posits over current loans in our char- tered banks, the recent tariff changes resulting in thc nstablishmcnt of brunch factories and the importation of capital, the incrcased demand for illfll power. the high standing d our national credit in London and New York, and our large total extern- nl investments, subject to easy with- drawal, as our own industrlevgrequirc additional capital.
