Jailed After Two Fires Ottawa, Nov. 5 -- (OP) -- A 36- year-old junk dealer is in jail te- day in connection with a $65,000 fire which destroyed twe Jewish- owned hotels at nearby Carlsbad Springs, Ont. The owner of one had charged the blage was the work of anti-Jews, Discounting anti-Semitism as a motive, Ontarie Provincial Police arrested Victor Vendette of Li- moges, Ont., 20 miles east of Ot- tawa, just a few hours after the blaze destroyed the two hotels early Thursday, The arrest came as the result of a search for an unidentified "tramp" seen loitering near the adjoining hotels at the summer . resort, 10 miles southeast of Ottawa. Police said - Vendete admitted breaking into one of the structures and lighting a fire in the base- ment furnace, He said he was pass- 'ing through Carlsbad Springs and seeking shelter from the rain. Po- lice believe Vendette was ransack- ing the hotel, locked up for the season. Vendette admited te police he saw flames engulf the hotel in a "matter of minutes. He will appear "in Carleton County Court Monday. ~: Max TenebaumYproprietor of one «of the hotels, said before the ar- west that the fire "is the work of ~~ someone who is against Jews." _ However, Samuel Epstein, son of s2:the owner of the larger of the two - «hotels, said he doubted that the blaze was due to "anti-Jewish pre- Judie." : The fire was believed to have started at the rear of the Tene- baum building near a kitchen boiler. It spread quickly threugh the 17-room hotel to the adjoining 40-room Epstein building. 3 Farmera- Market Local Eggs Prices on the local egg market are quoted as follows: Grade A large 66; Grade A medium, 60; Grade A Pullet 54; Grade B, 42; Grade C and C cracks 32.

Promises Become Plans - With Campaign At End Washington, Nov. 5--(AP)--Cam-~ paign promises blossomed into legis~ lative plans today as the capital prepared a mammoth "welcom« home" celebration for President Truman. Democrats spoke plainly of scrap- ping the Taft-Hartley Act and writ- ing a new labor law for the United States; of creating a "welfare" de- partment of cabinet rank; of public housing and, Jess plainly, of price controls. One top-rung official hinted that the president also may try to bol- ster the country's red-ink budget without proposing a boost in taxes. That, if he can do it, will be almost as neat a feat as his "impossible" election victory. - It would mean a firm clamp on military spending, this White House adviser said privately, and perhaps the shipment of some existing land weapons to Western Europe instead of buying new munitions for lend- lease delivery, as proposed. was a reassuring word for business. When asked about the praspect of a return to the wartime _tax on excess profit--a revenue and anti-inflation plan twice urged by Truman--the official said: "I wouldn't like to hear talk about an excess profits tax now. Perhaps business has had enough of- & shock.". The city of Washington, fairly blase by reputation, worked up something like a hero's welcome for the country boy who finds the White House lawn fine for pitching horse shoes. : All available police and 300 fire- men were ordered out to handle an estimated crowd of 500,000, Govern- §- ment workers and school children got time off, is binds were usted up. an his. L toric Pennsylvania Avenue from Un. don Station to the White House. Senator Alben W. Barkley of Ken- tucky, the vice-president~elect, flew in from Kentucky Thursday night to join in the ceremony. After the welcome it's back to work for Truman, He had an ap- pointment with budget director James E. Webb. Topic: What can be done about that prospective $1,500,- 000,000 deficit next June 30? There are more problems, but Tru- man plans to pack them up with his clothes and start Sunday morning for a two-week rest at Key West, Fla. No administration official foresaw anything like a "rubber stamp" Con- gress, Several acknowledged that if Truman tries to put over his 10- point anti-inflation program--com- plete with stand-by price control, priest, and rationing power--he'll . turned down cold. Sources close to Truman believe he is content to let his record in history rest on his administration during the next four years and thus will not seek a third term. Truman thinks he will have an opportunity during the next four years to revitalize the party and help build up leaders to carry it on in the years ahead. These sources also said there will be no abrupt dismissals from his cabinet based on lack of interest in the campaign, John W. Snyder, Secretary of the Treasury and one of his closest friends, will be pressed to remain on. James V, Forrestal, Secretary, of, Defence, will not be pressed to stay. Nor will Robert A. Lovett, Under- Sscretary of Stale, who is planning to leave soon anyway, State Secretary Marshall indicated at Paris that he desires to retire at the close of the present administra- tion, He and the President have a warm personal relationship. The cattle Tun was added to a 'same dates loans to Confidence (Continued from Page 3) ence as the instrument of national monetary pelicy, Our work isacarried on through 3,385 branch banks or sub-agencies spread all the way across this Domi- nion, Abroad there are 130 other of» fices and each bank maintains branch offices orscorrespopdents in other countries to aid and facilitate Canadian trade. The banks ure owned by some 56,000 registered shareholders, about 75 per eent. of them Canadians. They come from every walk of life. Shareholders of ene typical bank are registered as of 260 different and widely varied occupations. They include farmers and ranchers; lume Serica and miners; sten stevedores; estates and pension funds; businessmen and clergymen; as representative a group of Oana- dians as you could find anywhere, Par from making fortunes out of their investment in bank shares, they earned last year 3.8 per cent, on their squiy in the banks, cone trasted with 4.2 before the war. These shareholders annually elect some 102 directors well kngwn for business ability and integrity, They in turn appoint the senior 8 ment and through the general man- agers and executive staff supervise the activities of an army of em- ployees. When the war started our staffs totalled 25,112. At the end of August this year our staffs num- bered 41,616, of whom 50 gent. are women, Staffs have in- creased in numbers 65 per cent. compared with pre-war, to handle the larger volume 'of business in Canada's greater, economy. Not only have staffs increased but wage and salary rates have increas- ed to an even greater degree. Our total payrolls last year amounted to nearly 79 millions, 113 per cent. over the pre-war figure. Banks also make substantial contributions to employees' pension funds, and other objects such as group insurance, hospitalization plans and sick leave with pay. In our 3,385 branches our custom- ers maintain 7,321,052 depesit ac- counts. Deposits by the public, as distinguished from these by govern- ments, total $6,217 million, of which Just over $4 billien is in savings ac- counts of individuals. We have ap- proximately 800,000 borrowing cus- tomers; all of whom, of course, are depositors toe. We are book-keepers for all our customers. We can illustrate our service best perhaps by the record of debits to individual bank ac- counts. The total of such debits runs in the neighbourhood of six and a half billion dollars a month. The Whole volume of deposits by the public is thus turning over at the rate of once a month. This is simply the record of Ca- nadian citizens paying each other by the use of cheques for the wark they do, the things they produce, and the goods they sell. Hundreds of thousands of transactions, large and small, of Canadians in their every- day pursuits, are reflected by these debits. The simplicity, facility and impartiality of banking services is also reflected." Banking service is a matter of banking experience and of managerial skill. No alternative sys- tem aimed at steering credit for the fulfilment of political aims could serve as well or as impartially. Our primary duty is safeguarding depositors' funds. We safeguard the privacy of all regular transactions. Our business is short-term lending. We take risks within reason. Com- petitively we seek to keep credit moving through all the channels of trade and opportunity, thus fur- nishing a foundation under national prosperity, produetion, marketing and employment. We -do the job efficiently and well, at low cost to our customers, Some Banking Comparisons Our total assets as of August 31 stood at $8,182 million, whieh com- pares with $3,548 million in 1939 be- fore the war, an increase of 130.5 per cent, The. post-war changes as between 1045 and August 31 of this year are of interest. The total ef Saljaian genoa at $6,688 million 5 WwW e 1046 A, of $5,279 million, an increase of $1400 million or 26.7 per cent, During the same period our heldings of Demi- nlon and provincial securities de. clined from 64,7 iy! cent, of Cana- dian deposits to 50.8 per cent. Cur» rent loans in Canada hom 115 million in 1945 on at August 31, 1048. Current loans of 1945 were 31 per -- of the total of Canadian deposits while the current loans in 1948 represent ed 29.2 per cent. Security holdings are down and current loans are up in relation to total Canadian de- posits. This situation, I suggest, is not an unhealthy one. In 1945 notes in eireulation, most ly Bank of Canada notes (those of the chartered banks are progres- sively being withdrawn), amounted to $951 million; at August 31, 1948, to $1,037 million, Money in hands of the public, including bank de- posits at August 31 was $7,735 mil- lion compared with $6,320 million In 1945, an increase of 32 per cent, The increage does not seem to be out of line with the higher tempo of national activity and the increase in the national income, The quantiy of money in the hands of the public as of August 31st this year is equi- valent to 51.00 per cent. of this year's estimated national income. It is interesting to compare this with the pre-war economy of 1039, when the quantity was 52.7 per cent. of the national income. This mgy suggest that greater production and greater national ine come have largely taken up the in. flationary potential of the wartime expansion of money, Perhaps this may portend some pending relaxa- tion in the upward pressure on prices, but he 'would be a bold per- son who would make that a firm prediction. Some significant figures on bank lending will illustrate how we have helped all aspects of the post-war economy, Total bank loans on June 30, 1948, were 76.8 per cent. higher than at October 31, 1045.

McEwen, to ask for the resigna- | sio tion of Chief Constable Irvine and Constable Fred White, Pickering Tewnship, police officers, failed to get a seconder at the regular meet- ing of eouneil en Monday. "I want to see a clean sheet left for the incoming council," the de- puty-reeve stated. "The ratepayers in the south end of the township are getting the protection, let them choose their own officers," he contended, "Maybe they would be satisfac- tory to a new council," said Council- lor Frank Disney. "We don't want to be hooked with two policemen who haven't been satisfactory all summer," the Doctor continued. The Provincial Police are now licing the township, north of the d concession at no charge to the ratepayers. Qouncillor Disney said he'd want time to think the matter over. The deputy-reeve stated that police protection was costing the township $7,000 2 year, but more than ninety percent of the work was done south of the 3rd conces- n; Road accounts ed for pay- ment totalled $32,916.23, which in- cluded an item of $30,000 for the new Adams maintainer, eThree farmers were compensated for sheep killed by dogs, Elmer Annis, lot 20, BF received $27 for one sheep killed and one injured; Hugh Miller, lot' 18, con. 7, one sheep killed $40; and A. McKensie, lot 18, con, 4, one sheep killed -$25. Gordon Culham, Planning Engin- eer was appointed to this new posi- tion with the Pickering-Whitby Planning and Developing Board, bylaw, He will receive $800, of which Pickering township will pay 66 percent. It will be part of Mr. Oulham"s duties to designate areas fer rural, village and urban develop- ment, and draft the requirements for regulating this growth. A communication from the C.P.R. stated that traffic over the crossing at the Greenwood Rd., between lots 11 and 13, was not deemed heavy enough to warrant signals lights. Relief accounts passed for pay- ment amounted to $440.49. in forest products Other manufacturing of all kinds 20 Mining Loans to gontractors and others for building and eonstruetion 'The year has been one of expan- sion and development as well as high production. Capital invest- ment in new plant has been at a high level. It suggests the possibility that some enterprises are effecting capital expenditures at the expense of working capital. There is also the point that some people are per- haps trying to do too much business on their present working capital, and are in a position in which their inventories may become too high. The figures I have just quoted show that Canadian banking service is rendered impartially. It takes no cognizance of a man's politics, Cre- dit is thus not a matter eof dis- crimination en the grounds of doc- trine or political affiliation! nor is there "distinction between big busi- ness and small business, provided the rigk is reasonable and the pros- pects of ultimate payment good. Most businesses in Canada are small businesses, Some, of our costs other than those already mentioned will also interest our customers. Last year we paid $46,600,000 in interest on savings deposits. Taxes represented a provision of $21,400,000 in 1047 contrasted with $19,200,000 in 1946, $15,000,000 in 1945, and roughly $9.4 million in 1989, This includes Domi- nion, provincial and municipal im- posts. The increase in 1947 over 1939 was 127 per cent. Contributions te pension funds last year were approximately $9,- 500,000. Finally, like all other busi- nesses, our expenses such as rent, light, water, stationery and fuel likewise cost more. The Economic Rituation While there has been a great stepping up of activity in all branches of the economy since the end of the war, it is evident that the major part of this expansion took plage in 1046 and 1947, We may already be in or approachirg the Jlevelling-off stage. But we live in a troubled warld, and developments often upset prognostications. There- fore, I limit myself to fact father than forecast. The total of Canada's foreign trade, exports and imports combin- ed, for the first~eight months of 1048 exceeds by $112.9 million the same eight months of 1047, Our ex- ports to the United States for the same eight months were $338,600,000 git than in the same months of 947. Reflecting the import restric~ tions, our imports from the United States stood at $1,170 million--down $135,100,000 from the same period of last year--a measurable reduction |) in our unfavourable balance which is important in the light of last year's depletion of Canada's reserves of United States dollars. Our exports to the United King- dom decreased by $10,900,000 in the same period but our imports from ihe United Kingdom rose $76 mil- n, In considering our Jan trade tion, attention should given that impertant sustaining factor, the European Recovery Program. We all hope that ERP, which has made possible continuance of our | exports to Europe, will lead to ulti- mate restoration of European buy. ing power rather than that it should become a mero system of relief, In Conclusion It has been observed by all of us that over the last decade eriticism of Canadian banking from the pyb- 0 | lic and in the press has diminished to the vanishing point and a better ' " feeling has grown up. That is be- cause more people use the banks and have become familiar with the way we serve. We have millions mare customers than before the war. More than three million men and women obtained delivery from their banks of the Victory Bonds they ht. Many lodged them with us for safekeeping. We cut their coupons and credit the pro- ceeds what in many cases are new savings accounts. Pay cheques for the armed forces and depen- dents' allowances cheques, which we negotiated without charge, brought many more into friendly banking premises. Family allowance cheques have brought many more women into the banks. At a time when feeling toward the banks among people at large is manifestly better than in any past period, it seems incongruous (ane noted edit- or has referred to it as "Canada's greatest anomaly") that an agita- tion should arise to change the ac- cepted system for something else. I have sought to give our cus- tomers a bird's eye view of their banks, who owns. them, the work they do, and what the shareholders receive. I have sought to show the eurrent state of national activity, the part played in it by the banks, and te teuch on the principal changes the year has brought in the banking structure. If I have succeeded to any useful degree I am sure that our custemers and other reasonable Canadians will be strengthened in the eonviction that the chartered banks render the best service the way they are. Our eus- tomers would net want the banks to be conducted in any other way. Lloyd Davidson Of Raglan Had Narrow Escape L. M.

UN Calls On Israeli Army To Retreat Paris, Nev. 5--(CP)--The United Nations Seeurity Couneil Thursday night asked Israel te give up re- cent gains in the Negev Desert of Southern Palestine. At a night meeting the Council voted in faver of an American- amended reselution calling on Is- rael 'to withdraw to pesitions held before last month's offensive against the Egyptianss The American amendment dele-, ted specific mention of sanctions if either Israel or Egypt refused to obey the Council's orders and sub- stituted a general section of the U.N. charter which allows punish- ment ranging from investigation to armed intervention. . The resolution, spensored by Bri- tain and China, calls for with- drawal of Israeli and Arab forces to positions held on Oct. 14, before the Negev fighting flared. Israel would be forced to fall hack, but the Egyptian troops would not be permitted to return automa. tically to their old pesitions. The resolution empowers Dr. J. Bunche, interim Palestine medi- ator, to 'establish provisional lines beyond which no movement of troops shall take place." The resolution passed by a vote of 9 to 1 with the Soviet Ukraine opposing it. Russia abstained. Sir Alexander Cadogan of Brit- | ain proposed that the principles of the resolution approved by the council be applied to all of Pales- tine. This would mean a change in battle lines in the north, where the Jews claimed last week to have cleared Arap forces frem all of layed pending further information.
