REPORT REFLECTS

CANADA’S INDUSTRIAL GROWTH

ager, made in a message issued to-
day by the B of M in reviewing for
its customers the highlights of its
annual statement,

The report, which is for the year
ended October 31, shows an increase
in loans of $65,811,000 over thy
1951 figure. This brings total loans
up to highest reeord in the bank’s
history—$712,179,846. These loans,
the message from the manager states,
were made * . to business and in-
dustrial enterprises for production
of every kind — farmers, fishermen.
oil men, miners, lumbermen and
ranthers — to citizens of every call-
ing, and to provincial and municipal
overnmenis and school districts.”

STRONG POSITION

Nearly a billion dollars of the
bank's assets are in high-grade gov-
ernment bonds and other public se-
curities which have a ready market.
In referring to these holdings, the
manager's report notes that is
money helps to finance government
projects for the betterment of Cana-
da and the welfare of her people.”
Amounting to $987,00,000, these
holdings represent the greater -por-
tion of the bank's quickly available
aseets, which total $1,522.000,000
equivalent to 70 per cent of liabili-
ties to the public.

Total resources have also reached
an all-time high at $2,286,477.930
—an increase of close to $65,000,000
over the 1951 year-end figure and
an all-time record for Canada's
senior banking institution.

After providing for a tax Dill of
almost six million dollars — $906,-
000 more than for 1951 — the bank
reports net earnings of $5,668,775
from the operations of its nearly 600
branches. After payments to share-
holders there was a balance in profit
and loss account of $2,700,000 and
from this the bank made a transfer
to reserve fund of two million dol-
lars. This fund now stands at $5
000,000.

‘ANNUAL BLIND CANVAS
‘DOWN FROM LAST YEAR

Total receipts from the canvass
"conducted recently for the Canadian
Institute for the Blind amounted to
+$367.75, according to treasurer Don
Mars. Although the total was com-
mented on as ‘gratifying,’ it was
still $50 short of the collection “ade
last year. Twenty-five canvassers
took part in the drive.

the retreat
from ‘leftism’
continues

In Australia and New Zealand, in Britain
and most Western European countries, and
now in the United States voters have turned
from leftist experimentation to governments
that believe in returning power to the

people themselves,

In other Words, throughout the free world
so-called planned economy by governments
is yielding place to planning by those who
take the risks of enterprise and have the
capacity for leadership.

If British Columbia can prove to the
world it is in harmony with this world-wide
trend, it may well hope to continue attract-
