Ee ---- A yy "William Banks. A Canadian Government loan for $100,000,000 arranged iif New York through a syndicate headed by J. P. Morgan & Company, was oversub- scribed five times in a few hours on the date of issue. Almog simultan- eously the Canadian dollar improved on the New York market being quot- ed at one and a quarter percent dis- count against one and three quart- ers of a few days previously. The immediate success of the Canadian loan is at once a tribute to Canada and proof of the fact that there is a very large amount of United States money awaiting favorable in- vestment. The Canadian government received a net price of a ninety-seven and a half for the loan while the syndicate, which put it on the mar- ket did so at par--one hundred dol- lars. This left the bankers and brokers two and a half per cent. for their services, or a total of two and a half million dollars on the issue, This is considered in financial circles a fair price. The loan pays interest at the rate of five percent, and is for thirty years. Subscribers resid- ent in the United States are not tax- ed on the issue. It would be mani- festly impossible for the Dominion government to tax subscribers in a foreign country. On the whole the weight of opinion seems to be that Hon. Mr. Fielding, Canada's Finance Minister, made a good bargain. The new Canadian loan was float- ed in order to meet immediate ma- turing obligations. The Government, itis expected, will be in the market in the Fall for additional loans, or a large aggregate loan, some putting the figure as high as two hundred and fifty million dollars. The 1922 war loan issue approximately $182,- 000,000 has to be met, and there are bank loans totalling about $140,- 000,000, between now and then the Canadian market will be a fair in- dication as to the advisibility of floating the loan in this country. Otherwise New York will be the scene of the next floatation unless there has heen such an appreciation of sterling exchange tnat the London market will be worth while consider- ing. It is to be hoped that condi- tions in our own country will be such as to assure of the great suc cess of a domestic loan. While it is gratifying to have Canadian credit standing high in other countries, there is a sense of satisfaction in owing money to yourself rather than to outsiders, however friendly your relations may be with them. It is a pleasure to note an in- crease in Canada's trade which start- ed at the beginning of the year and has continued since. This taken in conjunction with the fact that there has been a considerable price reduc- tion in many lines means more than is immediately 'apparent on the surface. March showed a total trade of $140,184,872, an increase of $38,- 886,144 over Icbruary and of $41,- 610,929 over January. Both imports and exports were responsible for the increases. This increase is accom- panied by a lessening of unemploy- ment in a number of centres where many people have been out of work during the winter. In so young a country as our own there should not be long periods of trade depression and unemployment. But the world is not yet on the path of peace sol- idly enough to make industry and commerce the main objectives of all the nations. And so many of the Jatter have been cruelly pinched by the war. Canada has felt conditions in other "lands to a more or less marked degree. That is why she has more interest in the outcome of the Genoa Conference than some scoffers are inclined to think she should have. There is not a day that passes which does not emphas- ize the truth that a modern nation cannot live in splendid isolation in these days. Savage peoples do not worry about the troubles of the civ- ilised world, though some of them are occasionally more or less affect- ed. J - Ld Genoa Conference is still in session. That is something more to be grateful for. It has come near to being wrecked on several occasions. First the German-Russian treaty, of itself no great thing, but sartling in the way in whieh it was reached and announced, threatened to dis- rupt the gathering, Now with Ger- many accepting the ruling barring her from discussions on the Russian question and with the Russians showing an eagerness to accept al- RAILROAD MAN COULD HARDLY TURN A SWITCH Burns Says He Had Indigestion So Bad He Thought He Had Heart Troubie, Shacks Yankee Restoring" Him to ect Health.

France has been a thorn in the side of Lloyd George and those who,with him keenly de- sire to bring out of the Conference something concrete for the re-estab- lishment of industry and peace in troubled Europe. More militant than ever France has demanded that ultimatums be presented to rGemany and Russia alike, has per- sisted that on certain points her views must predominate, has de- dared her intention to withdraw If this, that or the other is not done in such and such a way--has in fact acted # good deal like one who would rather that the sword and not mutual agreements and conces- sions should be the decisive factor. On the part of many who have at- tended the Conference and are still there, there is still patience and muh sympathy for France. Most of them have seen at least a part of her devastated territories and have sens- ed her gaping: wounds. But her course 18 calculated to wear out the forbearance of those who are her best friends, The attitude of France left a bad impression after the Washington armament Conference, Her persistent demand for the strong hand at this time is creating a had feeling among Europeans who were inclined to be neutral or friendly. Yet one may well believe that France will stay with her allies and abov® all with Britain in the great task of restoring civilization to a hig part of the world. If she does not she will hasten the day when Germany and Russia will be banded in an al- liance that has offensive military action as a basic principle, Both are remembering that the new map of Europe has deprived them of much territory they once counted OSHAWA, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, MAY 4, 1922 a PAGE THIRTEEN other duties the necessity of asses- sing damages for grief.

There are "die-hards" there, he says in effect, who will] make all the trouble possible only to compromise in the end. His view is that the first half of the Conference is over, and that in the future the gathering will be regarded as "one of the turning points in the history of mankind." The big thing in sight at Genoa at the moment of writing is the 'non-aggressive pact," that is the proposed agreement un der which all the nations in attend- ance wiil agree to abide by existing boundaries and not to conduct any aggressive move against the terri- torities of their neighbors. - » LJ Whatever the great powers may think abeut it the Greeks and the Turk Nationalists are resuming their operations on the Smyrna front just as if there was no one interested but themselves.

Both sides in the ship- yard workers dispute, involving 300,000 men, who have been on strike, have accepted terms of settle- ment. The men wiii accept an im- mediate cut of ten shillings a week in their wages, and ine remaining cut of six shilings which the employ- ers had ordered will be split into instalments taking effect in May and June. This looks like a very big cut. Bu' it must be remember ed that wages im Britain, as in our own country, went up very high in the war period and have generally been maintained much above the pre-war figures until lately. There has in the meantime been a consid- erable reduction in the averages of the cost of living. Many observers believe that while there will be some further reductions, the pre-war standard will not generally be reach- ed. In other words the argument is that higher wages will be preval- ent, even though the cost of living may drop to still lower levels, than was the case in the days before the great conflict. ss ® = As a result of a decision in the Paris Court of Appeals juries. in France will have added to their Tithing was just as necessar" as rest- ' ---- 7 ing one seventh of a weel, It was intended by resting and worshipping on the seventh day to inspire people and create new Iffé for them to do the work of the next six days.
