Mr. Mec- Garry, Provincial Treasurer, seems to be patting himself on the back a good deal these days in regard to his recent financial operations carried on for the Government. For example, in the Toronto News, Conservative, the fact is emphasized that Mr Me: Garry managed to close a loan for $4,000,000, and, to quote the News, "an hour and a half later word of the sinking of the Lusitania was re- ceived" and the money market was upset." It dbes certainly look as if Mr. McGarry had some authentic | premonition of the disaster, and was, therefore, anxious to have the trans- action closed exactly by Friday at] noon. There does not seem, however, to be any unanimity as to the great credit which should come to Hon. Mr. McGarry for his general financ- ing since he became Provincial Trea- | surer, For example, the public are | hardly likely. to join with him in his | jubilation at being able to close a | loan for $4,000,000 at all, for this | simply means that he has increased | the debt of the province to this ex- tent, and that the Government to this amount, merely as a sample, has fail- ed to keep expenditures within the limits of the receipts, This $4,000,000 has nothing to do with the war loan negotiated on the basig of the war tax which netted the Provincial Treasurer $2,000,000, and was placed in New York about two weeks ago, The method of placing the $4,000,- 000 Joan is also meeting with much criticism, especially because the Pro. vincial Treasurer did not ask for gen- eral tenders. The Monetary Times, for example, says: "There seems to be little doubt that a higher price than the good one actually received could have been obtained. There is, we believe, indisputable evidence in black and white to that effect." The Toronto Telegram, Conservative, is also in a very critical mood. "It is an indisputable fact," it says, "that a better price could have been ob- On Sunday morning, after a lin- gering illness, Charles Burke, son of Frederick Burke, who is now with the Canadian Engineers in France, Jm-- The Late Charles Burke. died at his parents' home on Ontario street.
