The balance, however. was precarious and could easily be tip- Dod in either direction. The accum- ulated demand arising out of war- time srhortnges “has pretty well §Dent its force."

But the most noteworthy feature of the Canadian business trend was its relative stability. compared Willi developments in the United States, the president stutctl. iofiacttlng re- cessive influences in large part, "we have a vigorous program of indus- trial expansion.” Gaiiring self-con- fidence and "know-how" as an 1n- dustrlal nation, “we are re-discover- ing our own frontier” in natural re- sources. Canada appeared to be undergoing a dynamic growth not unlike that n! thc United States after World \'Var I. REVIEWS DOLLAR PROBLEM dinning to Canada's dollar dil- anma, Mr. Gardner saw e broad trend toward "a closed balance in trade with our nearest neighbour", and, "almost inevitably“. a contrac- tion of exports to important and traditional overseas markets. Point- ing out that. since the devaluated rates of exchange had been estab- lished by governmental flat, there could be no accurance that they would accurately reflect compara- tive costs and prices. he suggested "permitting a range of variation ln exchange rates. cushioned perhaps by s. stabilisation fund designed to prevent violent short-term fluctua- tions.‘ Mr. Gardner affirmed the "gener- el agreement" on the need to ralsa productivity in dollar-short coun- tries but questioned whether an "addiction to nationalization of in- dustry" would encourage the flow of domestic or international invest- ment. He cautioned against “an ex- aggerated State paternalism" blurr- ing the "vital connection between effort and reward." Incentives for the individual provide s vest reser- voir of energy. and the great task of the present was to create an en- vironment ln which these funds.- mental forces might once more be put to work. GENERAL MANAGER'S ADDRESS Gordan 1L Ball. B of M gesieral manager, reported year-end figures for both resources and deposits at more than two-billion dollars for the first time. Total assets stood at 52.140.000.000 and total deposits at 52.010.000.000, with savings deposits over the billion-dollar mark for the first time in the history of any Can- adian bank. Current loans and dis- counts in Canada also amounted to an all-time high in the year-end figures, $442.000.000. Remarking on the mimber of con- oerns showing “stationary or de- clining profits on u substantially in- creased volume of business”, Mr. Ball drew attention to the import- auce of businessmen rte-examining their “break-even" points. He also felt that reduced tax ralm should be admliad to "a higher level of profits than the present amount of $10,000." The maximum amount of '- earnings, he said. should he ploughed back into small businesses. LOANS DOUBLE 1N DECADE "In 1030 we had about s million current. and savings accounts on our books". Mr. Ball recalled. "We now have over 1.750.000 accounts." Loan accounts had more than doubled in number. All types of banking transactions showed “commensur- ate increase." Personnel totalled 0.700. compared with 6,000 in 1930. The nucri-ber of shareholders had 019a doubled. "arid we are naturally glad to sea this wider share owner- ship in our institution."

Kelly WASHINGTON, Dec. 4 — (AP) — Congressional investigators got orders today to check into charges that the late Harry Hopkins help- ed the Russians speed large ship- ments of what they called uranium and “bomb powder" out of the United States by air during the war. 'llhe order came from Senator Brien McMahon (Donn-Comm). chairman of the joint congres- sional committee on atomic en- ergy. He directed the commit- tee's staff to look into the matter, checking military security angles particularly, A The charge was levelled by s tanner army captain, G. Bacey Jordan, in a radio in-tervierw con- ducted by Fulton Lewis, J12, Fri- day nigiht. Jordan said his state- ments were based on his personal knowledge gained when he was s lend-lease inspector at Great Falls, Mont... in 1943 and 19M. Great Falls was a key point on the sir routs to Russia. In Denver, Colo., an official of s chemical company said Satur- day nigh-t that Russia in 1943 re- ceived one shipment of uranium ore from his firm otter placing an order for "all they could get." Seward Potter, general manager o! the Shattuok Chemical Com- pany, of Denver, said that March 23, i943, his firm shipped 200 pounds of uranium oxide and 500. pounds of uranium nitrate to Great Falls. The order was plac- ed by Cheanator, Inc., of New York City. "As I recall, the shipment was directed to a Russian army of- ficer," Potter said. "As far sq l was concerned, it was destined for a wartime ally. "After the original shipment, Chemator wired for more, but al- though they had an accredited ex- port licence I wouldnu. send them any more." Demand Investigation. ‘llhe sensational nature of Jor- dan's statement, involving the name of Franklin D. Roosevelt's principal confidential adviser. brought demands from several leg- islators for a thorough airing of the matter. It also brought strong doubt. Robert E. Sherwood. who was dlose to both Roosevelt and Hap- kine._ called Jordan's story "ia- credible." "Utterly unbelievable." com- mcntcd Stephen T.

All Bitters. who subseq All former members Big Celebration To Mark Stalin's isms. SAY --. cow. | After 1945 Stalin tried to extend 70th Birthday By James D. White Associated Press News Analyst Moscow is staging one whale of a shindig Dec. 21, the 70th birthday of Premier Joseph Stalin. At such a. time it's natural that the Russians would fcte the leader who has got them tvhere they are. In a larger sense, the celebration may be more than natural. It may be urgent. Even if Russia were clearly win- ning the cold war. which seems far from clear. she could hardly be far enough ahead to Justify the great pmnp and circumstance Red square will see Dec. 21. The fact is the world of Oom- munlsm itself has reached a stage of painful growing-up. At this adolescent polirit it can do with a good show to reassure itself. It needs some sign that it's destined to rule the arorld entirely because Moscow says so. Until 1945 the world of Commun- ism was mostly just a Russian world. Stalin's big problems were Russian problems. His big answers were tested Russian answers such as the harsh demand for unswerving obedience to the “throne" at Mos- this principle of absolute aub- servlence to the Eastern European states which Communism was ab- sorblng. In the case of Yugoslavia, Mar- shal Tito said nfllihirig doing. As in any dictatorial system. such hcrc- sy by an underling threatened to as“; warren .1 "WEEK'S.
