Notable Bank An nlversa ry

Frggdgm of enterprise as an objective neces- nry to m. mdnggngggg of democracy was cm- phasized by Mr. Huntley R. Druinmond, Pro- Sident of the Bank of Montreal, in his annual report yesterday, Wartime controls, Mr. Druiiimond said, are necessary and 81¢ gladly gubmitted to as temporary sacrifices, because the alternative is having than imposed perman- ently by brutal foreign taskmasters. '_I‘he thing for which we are fighting, howﬂwf. l! "01 l0“ talitarianism but freedom; and on the shoulders of free enterprise stand those other freedoms that make up democracy-freedom of consci- ence, freedom of speech, freedom of labour, and equality before the law. _

Speaking of war taxation and expenditure, Mr. Drummond said: “Today we are called on by the leaders of our Government to make sacri- fices, and we do so willingly; we ﬂlll. 811d W‘ have a right to call, on our Governments to cut as deeply as we do into every expenditure they make which does not further our war ef- fort."

Mr, G, W_ Spinney, General Manager, made reference in his report to the historic signific- ance of this, the Bank's 125th annual meeting. On Nov. 3, i817, two years after the battle of Waterloo, the Bank of Montreal was first open- ed for business. “In the course of a century and a quarter," he said, "we have seen booms and depressions, good times and bad, wars and ru- iiiors of wars. We were doing business during the troubled times of the Crimean \/Var, ihe lndian Mutiny, the American Civil War, the South African War and the first World War. We are now in the throes of the greatest con- ilict of them all. On every working day in the past 1:5 years the doors of this Bank have been opcii for business. We take pardonable pride in iiiurking this anniversary and were it not for the war the occasion would have been observed with greater emphasis."

The Bank's policy of lending men to the gov- GflllllUlll to liclp in the war effort lias been con- tinued this year. As pointed out in the Presi- dent's report, Mr. Spinney was in large measure responsible for the overwhelming success of the Third Victory Loan, as well as for the previous Victory Loans. This year the Joint General lllélllilgﬂ‘, Mr. Jackson Dodds, asked to be ie- lieved of his duties so as to be able to devote more of his time to his many patriotic interests, including the Red Cross and Boy Scouts organ- lZIIlIIlTIS.

Here is the reaction of the boys overseas l0 the North African successful campaign, it was written on November 10th: “The news lately is heart-lifting and not a little inspiring, though we must be moderate in our transports. The feeling generally is that at: long last we are get- ting s bit of our own back with interest. You could almost feel the surge upward in morale as the news spread, and there is now a quiet confidence in the belief the tide has definitely turned.”

Post-mortem study of the recent lay-elections are not st all favourable to the King Govern- ment: General LaFleche polled 7,000 fewer votes than were recorded for the “yes” plebiscite in Outreinont; in Cliarlevoix-Saguenay, all the Liberal candidates, including Mrs. Casgrain were ignomiriouvly defeated, an independent anti-God- bout candidate being elected with a plurality of some 3,000. In North Centre Winipeg where the Liberal cabinet practically camped prior to the eletiori, their candidate went down to de- feat, sncl even the C.C.F. did not show any im- portant increase vote over that of I940; all of which indicates a lethargy and disregard on the part of the electors towards Federal representa- tion as at present manouvred.

Today is scheduled for the opening of the Conservative convention at Winnipeg. The selection of a. leader is the prin-

cipal item on the agenda, and it appears strenuous efforts are being made to draft Premier Bracken for that purpose, It is said he is not unwilling provided his terms are acceptable; these are as follows: Eastern domination of the party must cease, a new name, proferably, Progressive- Conservative adopted, and low tariff policy in the interests of western grain growers adopted. It is questionable whether the gathering will be of one mind on all these. Failing Premier Bracken other likely choices are Mr. Murdoch MacPherson, K_ C., 0f Regina, Hon. Harry Stevens of Vancouver, President Sydney Smith of Manitoba University, and even COL Cggrgg Drew has been frequently mentioned.

Speaking st. Ottawa en route to Australia, Mr. L. W. Brockingtoii, K. C., had this tribute to pay to the average Frenchmen: “You may rest assured that when the war is ended, there will be many great books written of heroic zidvrii- ture which will be linked with proud memories of the simple folk of the French countryside. Every Canadian who has talked to me has told me of money given by many French men and women and food, shelter and clothes freely of- lfffﬂd. and always at the risk of the life of the one who gave or offered. And that does not apply to what war formerly occupied Franc, alone. It applies with equal truth to what was once unoccupied France. I remember pargi. cularly a true story of simple, iiiilettered French- Cariadian prisoners who jllmpﬂd the prisoners’ min st the German border after Dieppe and worked their way wounded through occupied France to England and freedom again. Their

resource and heroism were magnificent, and the i

amazingly careful, skilful and detailed obser. vations which they made proved to be of {he greatest valuetothe Allied cause. . . . It seems to me that all of us, in our anger against the gnyernors of Vichy have been forgetful and, lmllg forgetful, have been unfair to the (Jflllll- 3T)’ humble people of that striclceii lllllll. l rim sure that in these days when brave ships have siinlciintlhrave spirits have risen, the iribiitvs of (Jiiiniliiiii soldiers and citizens, English- spc:ikiiig_.'iriil Freiicli-spezikiiig, to the courage. nus fidclil_v' nf__liiiinble Frciicliiiivii and French- womeii. will find an eclio in the ll(‘a1‘f$ nf all
