is the beginning not only of a new
session but of a new Parliament after
General Election. This time we heard
the traditional message that the
Governor General would tot com-
municate his wishes to the House of
Commons regarding the work of the
session until the House had elected
from their numbers one Member to
be Speaker. And so the Speaker —
the servant of the House and its
spokesman in formal dealings with
the executive — was first elected.
Then came the reading of the
Speech from the Throne. Nothing was
forecast that was not expected, and
the indications are of an important
but work-a-day session. Amend-
ments to the Housing Act — which
no doubt will be controversial be-
cause in the view of many they will
not go far enough; legislation to
clear the way for further develop-
ment of Canada’s Northland; the
complete revision and amendment of
the Bank Act, undertaken every ten
years; the completion of the work of
revising the Criminal Code, with
special emphasis on the controversial
question this time of capital punish-
ment, gambling laws, and parole and
remission of sentence — these ap-

Sete

This past year saw Canada take another big stride

forward. The rapid development of our natural resources

and the continuing high level of business activity in

1953 are bringing benefits to Canadians everywhere.

Without adequate financial resources such progress would

be impossible. That’s why it is my pleasure to report to you

that never before have your savings contributed so

vitally to Canada’s welfare as they have this past year.

‘This year—as always—the B of M, through its 600 branches, kept your

money hard at work with Canadian enterprise of every description

and size. The following are some of the important highlights:

O Qt DEPOSITS: At the end of the

ane Bank's year, October 31st, 1953,
GEM, two million Canadians had
= $2,226,960,333 in deposits
with the BofM. Although much of this
money belongs to institutions and business
firms, well over half of these deposits repre-
sent the savings of everyday Canadians —
savings that, day by day, are working for
you... and for Canada.

LOANS: Your bank is playing an important
role in our expanding economy by means of
loans to Canadians of every
calling — farmers, miners,
fishermen, oil men, lumbermen,
ranchers — to industrial and
business enterprises and to Pro-
vincial and Municipal Govern-
ments. As of October 31st,
B of M loans totaled $857,-
762,561 — the highest figure
in the history of the Bank. In
a thousand ways, these dollars

,

played their part in maintain
ing full employment and in sustaining —
or bettering — our standard of living.

y y to indu:
NK vestments to $982,490,826.

INVESTMENTS: At the close of the year
the -B of M had $864,057,948 invested in
high-grade government bonds and other
public securities which have a

ready market. This money is help-
ing to finance government projects
for the betterment of the country
‘and the welfare of Canadians at
large. Other securities held by the
Bank — mainly short-term credits ~~ —

The BofiM has been working with
Canadians in every walk of life for 136
years. Each year proves afresh to my
bank the great importance of every sav-
ings account. Every dollar you deposit
works Jong and steadily not only for your
own future, but also for the future of
the country as a whole.

EISENHOWER VISIT

Everyone who saw him was im-
pressed and pleased with President
Bisenhower on his visit to Ottawa,
He addressed a special sitting of both
Houses of Parliament, in the Com-
mons Chamber, and it was the uni-
versal feeling that here was a genial
and sincere man, activated by a
simple and burning faith. Perhaps
he said nothing that will make his-
ory, but from his whole attitude
flowed the feeling that he meant
what he said when spoke of Cana-
dian-American friendly relations,
and the prospects of further improv-
ing them, of freer trade and other
matters that are so important in our
mutual relationships. His listeners
and observers all came away with
the feeling that here was a man of
broad perspective and sincere belief
in the comity of men and nations
through free interchange of ideas
and goods — and that this is what
he really believes and will work for,
whatever his Congress in his own
country may do about it.
