The regular decennial re- vision of the Bank Act, coupled with renewal oi bank charters was due this year. In view of the economic and currency situation, the “overn- ment decided to set up this commis-_ sion and Parliament thereupon pas- sed an Act extending existing Btnk charters one year. A CENTRAL BANK? One question to be given special consideration by the Commission central bank in Canada. The Com- mssion will make recommendations for revising or supplementing Do- minion legislation relating to bank- ing and currency, and the adoption of such measures as might seem desirable to promote the revival of trade; to facilitate inter-imperial and international co-operation for the purpose of raising commodity prices, increasing employment, anti to stabilize industry and finance. The terms of reference are as follows: That it is desirable that the ap- proaching periodic revision of the Bank Act, which will precede the enactment of a measure to continue the charters oi the existing banks- to which said act applies-and which expire on July 1, 1934, shall be based on a complete and detailed examination of the provisions of said act and of the functions and operations thereunder of the bank- ing system hereby established. That it is also desirable that such examination should include a study of the facilities now afforded by the Finance Act and a. careful consid- eration of the advisability of es- tablishing in Canada a central banking institution, and, if so es- tablished, of the relation oi such central banking institution to ex- isting banks and‘ its proper author- ity and function in the operation of the banking system of Canada. COMPLETE INVESTIGATION That such examination should also include s study of the entire monetary system of Canada, includ- ing credit, currency and coinage. particularly in their relation to commodity price movements and fluctuations in international ex- change. That it is also advisable to cou- sider whether and in what respects the banking institutions and the monetary system of Canada may for the purpose of facilitating in public policies designed to promote the revival of domestic and foreign trade and entenprise and the gen- eral increase of employment and to ensure a greater measure of stabil- ity in respect thereto. PROVISIONS It is provided first, that the com- mission shall examine, consider and report upon all the matters herein- before recited, second, that, with- out limiting the general scope of their inquiry into the operation of the banking and monetary systems of Canada, the said Commissioners shall, in particular, ease-mine the provisions and working of the Bank Act, the Dominion Notes Act, the for the past few days. is now quite recovered.

IIISTIIIIY IIE civil: The history of Eastern Canada‘ was told in a new and interesting‘ manner by Mr. Pemberton Smith, L Montreal, Presiden‘ of the Csnad-I tan Historical Society, '1n an ad- dress before the Rotary Club yes- terday. In his address Mr. Smith dealt with history century by cen- tury. Regarding the discoveries of; Christopher Columbus in 1499, the‘ speaker stated that Columbus 3 thought at that time and through- ,' out his whole life that he had been I to India, and the people, whom he I called Indians, were really Chinese or Mongols. The incident was a‘ great historic joke. Six years later the Cabots, fur- ther. north, made a good explora- tion of Newfoundland, explored the Gulf of St. Lawrence seeing the high lands of Cape Breton, as strangers, made a landing there, and sailed around the coast of southern Nova Scotia [as far as Yer-mouth. After they had gone back with reports, maps and plans of Newfoundland, fishermen of Dieppc, St. Malo and Brittany foi- lowed up the discoveries and came over in the Springs to fish, return- ing in the Fall. They gave the name to Cape Breton Island, as they were Bretons. Jacques Cartier was sent over in 1534 by King Francis of France to set up the flag of France on the mainland and claim the land. There is nothing to indicate that Cartier had not been over pre- viously, particularly since he struck the entrance to the Straits of Belle Isle first time, and signalled to French vessels in the Gulf. He sail- ed around Isie St. Jean, did not land, but remarked that it would I . | | I In the Chicago area alone the De- partment of Commerce district of- fice, estimated that 100,000 persons would be affected by employers’ signing the agreements with Presi- dent Roosevelt which are intended to result in greater purchasing pow- er. .

Cooley, Associated Press Financial Writer) NEW YORK, July 3l—(A.P-)-— Financial nuarkets bogged down today. ‘Trading on most exchanges was dull, but buyers held aloof and the month ended with speculative positions in sharp contrast to their utatus at its beginning.

Wall Street's expectations of a “secondsry-reaction" following last week's recovery appeared to have been realized. Believing that a set- back was out many traders were content to stand aside, letting pric- es take their own course and find a level which would attract support. There was a. mild rally, presumably on short covering, in the late trad- ing and extreme losses were cut by fractions to s. couple of points. Vol-‘ reports and maps to the Canadian Historical Society, and the point was accepted as the one on which the flag had been placed. In 1608 Champlain founded Quebec and New France. In 1820 British emigrants founded New England. The wars of the parent countries had their effect in the colonies. By the terms of the Treaty of Utrecht which closed the War of Succession in 1713, Acadia, except Cape Brcton was given to Britain. Fear led the French to construct the strong fortress of Louisburg on Cape Breton Island, much to the consternation of the people of New England. In the next war in 1744 Sir Wm. Peperell and the Bank of England. He also serv- ed as Vice Chairman of the Bank for International Settlements. He was a nlerztbcr of the Cuniiffe Cur- rency Cumnittcc of the United Kingdom 1918-10, the Indian cur- rency committee 1920, the Brazilian Financial Commission 1923-24 and National Debt Committee 1924-26. He is a director of a number of im- portant shipping and banking cou- cers. CANLADIANS Of the Canadians appointed, Rt. Hon. Sir Willfluil Thomas White, P. C., K. C. M. G.. was Minister of Finance from 1911 to 1919. Sub- sequently he became vice President of the Canadian Bank of Com- merce. He is generally recognised as being exceptionally well-versed on shatters relating to Canadian Bank- ing and Finance and Public Affairs generally. His years of service as Minister of Finance during the war brought him into close contact with all aspects of these matters. Hon. J. E. Brownies, K. C., has been associated with the Govern- ment of Alberta for the past 1B years, first in the capacity of At- torney General and since 1995 as Premier of that Province. He was General Counsel for the United cram Growers, Limited, and the United Farmers of Alberta. Beaudry Lemon is General Man- ager and’ Director of Banque Can- adienne Nationals. Montreal. Be- sides his extensive business inter- ests Mr. lemon has served in many important capacities in public af- fairs. He wee a membe of the na- tional advisory committee on the St. Lawrence Waterways, and of the Canadian Farm Loan Board, and, in 1091 was a member of the Royal Commission on Railways and ‘Transportation in Canada. He has ‘also been President of the Canadi ‘an Bankers‘ Association. , Commander Warren besieged and captured the fort, but in 1748, the fort was given back. To counteract Louisburg the New Engianders built Halifax in 1749. For a time in the next war the British met disaster from the French forces led by Montcalm, who pushed his way into Ohio. Louisburg, which was thus neglected was captured in 1758 by Boscowen and Amherst. James Wolfe who was with the ex- pedition was sent ashore to recon- noitre, and discovered batteries camouflaged in front of the fort. By aoskilful manoeuvre he got. be- hind the batteries and captured them, and turned them on the fort. In 1759 Wolfe captured Quebec, and 1n 1700 New France fell into the hands of the British. In 1701 Louisburg was demolished. In 1770 the United States was formed. Nova Scotia which com- Pfified the three Maritime Prov- inces, refused to Join the union. New Brunswick was settled by United Empire loyalists, and as travel was difficult to Halifax, the Cit-Dill]. the Province of New Brunswick was established. Prince Edward Island also’ became a sep- arate province for the some reason. The nineteenth century was the great sailing ship century. and many of the best ships were built in the Maritime Provinces. The speaker made special refer- 0009 t0 the ship “Marco Polo" which was built at St. John, N. B. She won the reputation of being i118 lute-st ship in the world hav- ing sailed across the Atlantic in fifteen days and later out thirty days off the record ior a trip from London to Australia and return. This ship after she had been wafer- iogged and unseaworthy was beich- ed off I-lustico where she went to Dims. Part of her equipment is set of new seats in the school. ume dropped‘ to 3,092,198 shares for the five hours. Further liquidation of old ac- counts as well as short selling doubtless accounted for much of the mild pressure, to which leading stocks offered’ mediocre resistance. New buyers seemed unwilling to reach for recently favored issues, while pools were either disposing of recent holdings or standing aside to await developments. The market was very thin at times.
