Personal Stimulants J By Joscpb Lter Rutiedge 'Wc rather expcct the aider statesmen to look back with an- Sxious eyes, a littie fearful of the days ahead, a littie homesick for the oid," the sure, the familiar, Fire dies out in aid eyes and ad- venturing is done. But in aider statesman and former president H{erbert Hoover. noa tire has died. His fear 15 flot of the future or what it holds, but only that the men and womnen of aiur day may forget the quai- ities of daring and adventure that are the sure and only promise of pragress. Speaking et the instal- lation of a new president at Ohio Wcsleyan University, he urged his young hearers ta hold ta the dreams, the advcnturc and the1 daring, that the lhought of a New Era is supplanting by a depend- ence on a timid securily, donated Srather than earned. * Herbert Hoover, newlv made Doctor af Humanities, was human enough and wise enough ta sec the faisit.-v of the reasoning tiiat wauld make security a first con- sideration. It is the death af those vital qualities that alane make security possible. He bas a caustic word for those wbo urge it as a be-al and end-ali. "They hold out the attractions Ihet, with this security, you xiii be furnished with an old age pension and your funeral expenseq from the gav-c ernment." This is flot new, as we believe, he affirms: "At ail times in history there have been those who sought ta escape inta securityt from *self- reliance. "c He urged his hearer.s not ta choose that mean and timid course "that kiils the joy that lies in competition, in individual edven- ture. new undertakirigs and new achievements - wbere eech step nmust be dictated by same officiai or unofficiai bureaucral with stop-and-go signais." Urging upan his audience that 1 the greatest good he could wish for them was ta, use initi ative ta echieve their awn future, he add - ed: "If you observe the workings af these newest New Eras thra- ughout the world, yau mey notice thal the judgmenl of the Lard on Adam bas riat been entircly re- versed, even by the Supremne Court of the United States. More- over, gove.-nnents have flot been able ta f ix the wvages of sin. Nor jhave they- found a substitute for profit and other personal stimu- lants." Those are brave and wise %£ords from an older statesman who stili secs a hapeful future and an un- j esseilabie security for those whoi are ready to earn it. - Talking Peace in Indonesia Business Conditions As Reported By Bank of Montreal fi Tborny Probiemns Arise ln External Trade The rcview describes as amin- ous the disclosure early this month ai a critical drain in the hard-currency reserves of the United Kingdom and the rest ai the sterling area and the nccomn- panying intimation thet, "ta the smaximum extenî practiceble," no new purchase commitments by Britain fromn dollar countries will be entered mia, e t least until September. "For Canada." il stresses, "a creditor in trade relations wiîb the sterling area and a debtor on current-account transactions with the United States, the present sit- uation poses special and pressing problems, the mare so since the possibility of a return ta canvert- ibiiity af the pound and the U.S. dollar naw seems ta he pushed even further mbinthe future." Chianging Pattern et Capital Flow Citing recent afficial publica- tions. the bank presents some significant aspects ai the flow ai capital 10 and fromn Canada dur- ing and since the war years. "Between 1939 and 1947 the United States' investment stake in the Dominion increesed by a billion dollars," the statement re- ports. 'By contrast. within the sanie period the United King- dom's investment in Canada de- clined byý, more than $800 millions, the reduction reflecting. in the main.,\vaitime repatriation ot Canadien securities." It was oificially esti mated that United States-controlled menu- iacturing companies represented about 37 per cent ai the total capital investment in Canadien manufacturing in the year 1946, the B ai M continues. "For Can- adien industry as e whole, in- cluding non-manufacturing cate- garies. the percentege ai total capital investment which. is U.S.- controlled is oificially stated ta be something iess than 20 per cent."

THERE'"S new activity in Ontario's bushland north of Lake Superior. Marathon and Red Rock, Terrace and Heron Bay: they ail tell the saine story. New tow ns have arisen, old ones ex. panded. Only five years ago on the site of Marathon, for example, there w-as nothing but bush; today a new com. mnunity beside a new pulp miii is contributing millions ho Canada'& export trade.. Such spectaculer developments in thc north are rnatched by contjpuing industrial expansion in the older established communities. Throughout Canada today ever-widening, avenues of opportunity await the enLerprise of young Canadians.

'Cutting In" was picked as the worst offence by, 24% ot thase polled, while 22 % picked "Pass- itng an Curve or -Hll".

"Total private and govern- mental capital expenditures an ncw plant, equipment and housing in 1949 may again atlain a re- cord," the B ai M saysf. "A mid- ycar official survcy ai investment intentions in this regard shows that such outleys fer Ibe full year are now expected la reech $3,400 millions, an advance efthrce per cent aver the estimaeeof $3,280 millions made aI Uic beginning of the ycar and an increase ai 11 per cent over the $3,045 mil- lions s0 spent in 1948." "Exlernal trade slalistics Ibis ycar reveal less fevourable trends," the bank comments, "and these eppear likely ta became aggravatcd as the resulî of cur- rent dcvelopmcnts abroad." Cenade's officiai reserves et gold and U.S, dollars reilect the trade trend as well as seasonally heavy transters af profils by American-controllcd concerns, the B ai M observes.
