ARG Sy Agi prada BL hy SEALS rn Common Tongue As Key To Peace Suggestion Made by Wind sor Star That All People Speak English Language Better understanding between nations could result from a com- mon language, By havhig, all people speak English, there could grow a happy relationship among + all nations, even as the British Empire and the United States have a better understanding of one another because we speak the same tongue. In thinking in terms of broad world peace, a common language would be one chief key to understanding. ¥ t Chinese is the only language spoken by more people than Eng. lish, There are 400,000,000 people with Chinese as their tongue, English is spoken by 200,000,000 people; Russian by 130,000,000; German by 80,000,000; Spanish by 76,000,000" (in South America, Spanish is the tongue of many countries); Western Hindi by 72, 000,000; French by 70,000,000; Japanesq by 5 70,000,000; Portu- guese, Italian and Malay each by 60,000,000, With English spoken by so many British countries and the United States, it is the tongue which predominates in world mat- ters. By extending the uso of kEng- lish better understanding can more easily be promoted. ' see ' Maritime Cowboy . Lassoes Sailor The men who man a Canadian corvette which picked up survive ors after-a submarine attack on a North Atlantic convoy a few weeks ago call Able Seaman Alonzo Townsend of Lockport, N. S., the "Maritime Cowboy." Townsend was an outstanding figure in vescue work following that attack, but in an unorthodox way, something that appealed to the mess deck jokers. He saved a life by lassooing a drifting mer- chant seaman around the neck and pulling him--near to strangulation --up the sides and to the corvejte's deck. - If Townsend hadn't made hls rescue that way, the corvelte would have rescued 53 men In. slead of 54. The seaman was drifting rapidly away from the line thrown to him and there was not enough strength left in his numb, oil-caked body to fasten it around his shoulders. So Town- send pulled a Buffalo Bill, las. soocd him around the neck, and landed him safely. Townsend had been only two months in the navy when his cor- vette went on Atlantic convoy and the rescue carned him a nick name that will stick as long as he is in that ship's company. He is an experienced sailor, with 20 years of commercial fishing be- fore he signed for fighting serv- ice. Canada Producing 5,000 Planes A Year "Canada is producing war planes at a rate of about 5,000 a year, Munitions Minister C. D. Howe told a press conference gt-sthe Canadian Legation, Mr. Howe, who came to Wash- = » ington for the meeting of the - newly established British-Ameri- can-Canadian Combined Produc- "tion Board, spoke with pride of ""the progress made by Canada in many fields of war production, He estimated Canada's total war pro- duction for 1942 would aggregate about $2,500,000,000, and for 1943, about $3,500,000,000.

BANK EXECUTIVES SUPPORT WARTIME TAXES, PRICES AND TRADE CONTROLS Huntly R., Drummond, Bank of Montreal President, Suggests that High Taxation and Controls Are Justified for Duration Only -- Sees Need for ses G. W. Spinney, General Manager, Discusses War Finance--Sa: Freedom of Enterprise With Return of Peace .e , Reviews Bank's 125th Year-- ys Government Financing Through Chartered Banks Being Kept Within Reasonable and Man Efforts by the Government to prevent the effects of inflation as experienced in the aftermath of the last war -- including price and wage controls and pay-as-wo. go taxation -- were commended by Huntly R. Drummond, Presi- dent of the Bank of Montreal, at that institution's 125th annual meeting. Such efforts, he said, "merited the support of every thinking Canadian". At the same time he urged, as he did at the annual meeting a year ago, that controls and regulations be re- moved with all_ possible speed after the war so that private en- terprise might have the opportun- ity to convert war factories to the production of peace-time goods. Wide expansion 'in industrial production having been financed by taxation apd borrowing, under government Fircetion and control, with the government guaranteeing the overhead knd providing the, market for the dutput, he empha. sized that "these conditions will not, and cannot, obtain; after the war', Describing the income tax, com. pany and individual combined, as 'probably the highest in the Allied Nations", and covering practically that nevertheless, the cheerful acceptance of hardship by all Canadians had been notable and was an encouraging sign for the future. In this connection, how- ever, he pointed out that "we have gone a long way toward sacrific. ing everything but liberty itself. Nor let us forget that on the shoulders of free enterprise stand those other freedoms that go ta make up democracy --- freedom of - conscience, freedom of speech, freedom of ldbour and equality before the law", Bank Earnings Restricted During the year the bank's assets and deposits reached new high levels; the average asscts were $1,091 million * comparea with $1,032 million in the preced- ing year, while deposits -- the safety of which "is our first con- sideration" --amounted to $1,064, 645,000, Earnings showed a small increase, but taxes at $2,540,000 were considerably higher, because of the government's policy of re- stricting net earnings to 70% of pre-war-standard profits, The in. cidence of this increase was felb only in the last four months of the fiscal year, he explained, and warned that taxes for the coming higher. Dealing further with the bank's position, he gald that this year even a larger proportion of assets was represented by short-term and immediate y realizable invest. ments, which placed the bank in a stronger position than ever before. However, the earning power of all banks had been reduced by such investments, higher taxes-and the government policy of keeping in terest rates low -- "which we - At the same time he fave credit to the banks in supporting to the t ageable Proportions full the Government in its stupen- dous task of finaneing the war, observing: "We can fairly claim that in Canada qur banking system has more than justified its exist- ence, and, with irrefutable facts, answer those who talk of the State taking over the banks", General Manager's Review G. W. Spinney, general mana- ger, reviewed, in his address to the meeting, the accounts of the bank for the year and referred to the increase in total assets to $1,- 175,319,000 from $1,046,6561,000 at the end of the previous fiscal period, Total quick assets, he pointed out, amounted to $896, 935,000 and were equivalent to 81.60 per cent of all liabilities to the public. He referred to the reduction in current loans during the year and the wide expansion in investments. In this connection he said: "The increase in investments is mainly ~ under the heading of Dominion of Canada - securities and resulted almost wholly from our purchase of Deposit Certificates. These Certificates are a new type of in. strument devised to provide flex- ible short-term financing for the Dominion Government, and are similar to the Treasury. Deposit Receipts used in' Great Britain during the War of 1914-18 and re- introduced by the British Treas. ury at the beginning of July 1940, "During the year ended October 31", said Mr. Spinney, "new and refunding issues of the Dominion Government, exclusive of Treasury Bill financing but adjusted to in- clude the approximate total of the Third Victory loan, which was issued in the latter part of Octo- ber and the 'early part of Novem- ber, aggregated approximately $3,160,000,000, This figure in- 'cludes $645,000,000 of the new Dominion of Canada 3% % Deposit Certificates, sold to the Chartered anks from July to October, some of which have since been retired.. In the light of the Dominion Gov- ernment's heavy borrowing re- quirements, I feel that the amount "of war financing through the Chartered Banks has so far been kept within reasonable and man. ageable proportions, The extent to which this Ne of borrowin can be kept in check will depen largely upon the success of the public distribution from time to time of Government loan flota- tions." f Closing of Branches e general manager spoke of - the necessary closing down of branches in keeping with the war policy of the Government, but stated that care is being exercised to see that no area is left without adequatecfacilities, The policy fol. lowed has been to close "down branches where overlapping exists, He concluded by. commending the staff of the bank ofthe .man- -ner in which it had undertaken added duties and thanked the cus- tomers for accepting cheerfully any unavoidable relaxation in service, the army, © "Returning home, his old father Have You Heard?
