Ben- nett, K.C.,, M.P,, whose wide know- ledge and broad experience, both in the east and west, made his counsel of such great value to the bank. Our loss is somewhat tem- pered by the realization that his great ability will now be devoted to the services of the country, "Those who were most careful in their "studies of world economic trends were forced to the conclu- sion that a return to world stab- lity in commerce and finance would be accompanied by such a rising tide of demand for the pro- ducts of Canada's flelds, forests and mines as would assure a pro- longed period of prosperity, The steady improvement in agriculture, mining, manufacture and internal and external trade which has char- acterized the years 1925, 1926 and 1927, has done much to vindicate the good judgment of this leader- ship, "It is only natural that this gen- eral prosperity should have brought about a pervading spirit of optimism, In every part of the country one finds an improved tone in business, a more aggressive at- titude towards expansion and greater interest in the opportun- ities atforded by foreign trade. And yet there are no indications of in- dustrial and commercial inflation. Production is not expanding to a point unwarranted by growth in demand, It is a noteworthy fact that his whole expansion has taken plate during a period which has been characterized by a moderate decline in prices, On the whole, the fundamental situation in agricul- ture, industry and commerce is more stable than at the beginning of the period, However, I think it Is necessary to give a word of warning and caution against infla- tion in securities and excessive stock speculation, Constructive Policy of Finance Minister "In a growing country there is a strong tendency to expand gov. ernment activities and to increase government expenditures, The Min- ister of Finance is to be greatiy congratulated on reducing various taxes and on cutting down the net debt by $60,000,000 between Octo- ber 31st, 1926, and October 31st, 1927, While the government should be given full credit for what it has accomplished, it is imperative that all capital expenditures should be kept down to a minimum, No singlé factor can do more towards main- taining stable prosperity than gov- ernment economy and reduction of taxation, and only by this means can the country hope to throw off the gigantic burden of debt incur- red during the year, General Manager's Address C. E. Neill, general manager, in his address to shareholders, said in part: "The 58th annual balance sheet, showing the position of the Bank on November 30 last, the end of our fiscal year and the profit and loss account, giving the results of the year's operations, are before you, I think you will agree that both sre satisfactory, #Our total assets are $894,663 908.45, the highest in the history of the Bank, an increase of $128, 286,960.19 over last year, "Increased business activity and the growth of our businses have resulted in higher profits, the best in the history of the Bank.

LEE Hi H ih Mr, Neill reviewed the growth of | Outlook Never 'So Favourable For Prosperity In Canada In commenting on the an- nual statement, Mr, Neill - referred at length to the im- portance of call loans, which loans against stock exchange collateral, not only of the Royal Bank, but of all banks, He point- ed out that this was indica- tive of three things: "1. Increase in the num-« ber of securities available to investors. "3. Increase in the mar- ket value of -securities. "3. Increase in specula- tion. "In a growing country the development of its ve- sources produces new se curities. Prosperous times result in the enhancement in value of securities and for these reasons it is clear that the two first mentioned causes for the Increase in Call' Loans are at least to some extent justified, As to the third, it is obvious that speculation has reached a dangerous stage, The best- informed financial and brokerage firms are already operating on an unusually conservative basis by calling for increased margins, by declining to open new ac- counts and by restricting the lability of their cus- tomers to reasonable amounts, In times of ex- cessive speculation, the lure of easy profits cannot be denied, but speculation can be checked and held within reasonable bounds by the financial interests, particul- arly the banks, and bond and brokerage houses, tions than in any previous year, "Perhaps the most striking item in the statement is the ingrease of $27,777,630.60 in commercial loans in Canada, In times of great business activity, Increased turn- over calls for additional banking accommodation, As .ur business is largely commercial, the substantial increase in loans is the inevitable result of prosperity throughout the country, "The liquid position of the Bank has heen fully maintained, Our holding of cash, including bank balances, equals 23.12 per cent, of liabilities to the public, while our total liguid assets are 57.33 per cent, of liabilities to the publie, as compared with 54,30 per cent last year, "Having regard to the opportun- ties which Canada offers for new developments, we may expect out- side inyestors, particu'arly in Great Britain and the United States, to continue to send their money to this country. The un- fortunate experiences of some of the British investors who made {ll- advised commitments in the boom period preceding the war, undoubt; edly affected Canada's reputation in financial circles in the Old Country, "Everything possible should be done to guord against a repetition of this situation, I strongly urge anyone in Great Britain who has investments in Canada under con- sideration, to seek the advice of a Canadian bank or a reputable in- vestment house familiar with Cana- dian conditions. While, in the case of such speculative ventures as mining, neither a bank nor an in- vestment house might be in a posi- tion to appraise the prospects of success, they could at least give an opinion on the standing and in- tegrity of those connected with the enterprise," Bucharest, Roumania, Jan, 13, -- Dispatches from Cluj say that nine students held responsible for the anti-semitic riots at Oradea Mare December 8 were given prison sen- tences of from one to five months by a court-martial today.

S. he touched upon the world in an address to the Cana from the Empire would assuredly re- sult. He said that Great Britain with her . geographical ition as the neighbor of great opean nations had carved a niche in the world market. Her success could be attri- buted to the great organizing ability of her people and to the dogged de termination that the whole country had shown in the building up of this reputation, Canada, he suggested, was just a little too prone to look towards the United States as a market and not towards Britain and other Dominions such as Africa, Australia and New Zealand. He said that while the peo- ple of Great Britain were willing to recognize that the United States in ted the past few years had developed from a primary producer to one of the greatest industrial nations of the world, the people of Britain were not attempting to reach the mark of be ing a weaker United States, but in- stead were working for a greater Great Britain, Holding up the potentialities of the British Empire as a great inspiration to the nations which are its mem- bers, the speaker painted a picture of world development through inter- Dominion trade and the irrestible ad: vance into, fordign markets. Inter-Imperial Trade "We in Britain, are beginning to realize that the best t egos eh hopeful trade, is that with our fel low members of the British Empire," he said, : As to immigration, he called not only for a policy of exclusiveness, but a realization of the stock Britain could supply for citizens, Britain could give Canada the best material for citizenship, not the cast-offs, but men who were approved by Canada's own Government.
