A reading of the annual address- es of Canadian bank officials, now being published in the press, ought to act as a tonic to those who are the future of this young country. They . breathe the spirit of optim- ism and confidence, and will exert an influence for good on business everywhere. That the officers and directors of the banks have faith in what they outline is shown hy the fact that their plans for the ex- tension of their business are al- ready under way. Three new capl- tal issues have been announced. The banks effected are the Bank of Hamilton, the Royal and the Uniop, the new issues being respectively one, two and three million dollars. The present issues, says the Mone- tary Times, are being made purely for the expansion of normal buai- ness. New branches are being opened up, not only in. the East, but throughout the Canadian West. to take care of the new and grow- ing business which the officials foresee in the near future. The Canadian banks are also expanding in the foreign field. Branches have been establishéd in Biberia, France, England, the West Indies and South America. The foreign trade that will come to Canada after the period of reconptruction is past will no doubt make these ventures abroad very profitable ones. At ang.rate, they will serve a useful national purpose in facilitating trade and commerce with the other nations of the world, with whom Canada will henceforth do a stead- ily increasing business. A LEAGUE OF NATIONS, « Two proposals for guaranteeing the future peace of thé. world have been put fofth. Great Britain and the United States favor the forma- tion of a League of Nations, includ- ing all the present Allies and later on Germany, if she eyinces a sin- cere change of heart. On the othar hand. Premier Clemmencean, of France, contends for the re-estal- lishment of the Balance of Eower, a policy ~that has prevailed in Bu- rope for many decades, but which fhiled to ayert a great world war. The merits of these two conflicting policies are now being widely dis- cussed. The Anglo-Saxon nations alone are capable of forming a league of peace that no other na- tion; or group of nations, would care to oppose. It alone could as3- sure peace tb a war-weary world. J. 8. Battams, writing in "Every- man," of London, visualizes such a league when he says: "F am one of those who see no reason why England's trumphlet should he silent till the. historian does the blowing. Germany look- ed on us as a decadent nation. De- cadent! England and her lusty children have rendered immortal service to. mankind; and the glory and moral grandeur of her achieve- ment will ring down the ages. I lieve, further, that it is part of the divine plan and purpose that out of this welter of blood and tedrs a more brotherly civilization shall arise; and that the "all-too-scanty mantle of Imperial Rome is destin- ed to fall on the broad shoulders of Britain. ot .f see a federation of freedom- loving peoples with England, the mother, 'as its centre, a loyal and ontented India as its corner-stone. and of | {neclined to take a gldomy view of] . bound together by sironm links of affection.

The benefit derived from a' system of good roads was pointed out as regards the transponta- tion of farmers' produce linking up of municipalities amd advancement motor transporta@ion, 'thus subserib- ing to the general prosperity of the Dominion. : Comrade Stroud was appointed to the investigation and complaipts committee fop the special purpose of mvestigating the employment ques- tion in military and government cir cles.
