Home Sank Losses To Depositors Small. The losses In depositors owing to the failure of the Home Uaiik should Pol he very large. Outsids of the losses lo share-holders. the report received yesterday slnled that the shortage would he slightly over two and a half millions. As there is a donhle liability for shareholders and there was a paid up capital of nearly two niillfous, it .looks as if this amount would be available lo reduce ihe losses .tu depositors. This would pem to mean that they will gel, practically .-ill their money. Bank Officers Must Be .Liable. - v lf th: president of a hank sign a false? .tate"ment he must be held liable for the result. That. seems only right. He probably may not know the actual condition of the finances but it is his duly lo do o. If he does not know he should not sign. If he sign without knowing, he must he held responsible for what his signature indicates. M It i iiufortuuate that just at a time when the financial condition of the country is improving, some of the financial institutions should find themselves crippled and unable to take advantage of the change. It is also unfortunate that so many small investors who bad their all in the bank should loe even a ' .sired I amount of what-lhey dejiosited there. , " When a persons puts his money into" nil'Stocks he expects lo'lose, but when he puts it into the bank with its conservative interest return's, he should feel that he is perfectly safe. Possibly the' rush for Dominion government bonds mi?hl"have been influenced lo some extent .by the feeling of insecurity caused by the bank failure. Follow Footsteps Of Australia. For several years Australia has been benefiting by the unrest following Ihe war and has secured a large number of new -settlers "which have filled up .her vacant lands and brought prosperity to 'the country. The policy of Canada under Ihe late administration lias kept good Britishers out of the country by pulling up all kinds uf barriers against their admission lo the country. As a result of a popular demand, the present- government has 'commenced a rigorous immigration campaign, and it is quite t probable tluitiiexl year there will be a grsat influx, of British nndother settlers to thisvcoiintry. This migration is being encouraged by the Kritish government In order to solve. the unemployment 'problem on that side of the ocean. ; Publicity To " ' Iron Campaign. . A good deal of publicity has been given or late In a campaign in fnvor of the subsidizing of an iron and steel concern in this province. A good'doal of -money; has b?en spent by Ihe promoters of one 'concern with a view to inducing the provincial government Jo commit itself to. a policy of aiding, spch an 'Undertaking. While iL, seems necessary in some cases lo spend money in securing informalion if should -.not be necessary lo spend money to force Ihe claims of a legitimate concern on the government. If money is spent in that way it has In come out of the money secured later from the government or Ihe share-! holders. When a new company spends a lot of money on promotion it always makes cautions people suspicions. ' Provincial aid to a big undertaking may be correct to a certain extent, lint it must be remembered that the money has to come out pf the pockets of the taxpayers, and fhe government is there -government to look after the interests of the taxpayers. In any -vent Ihe -should satisfy itself Ihht the concern iS goini? to be a financial success ami tdmuM i.. i. ..,...! , . - .v .iir-. .kiiii in . . . .. j.ruril to Inking any action on behalf of the people .of the province nvhich it would not take if it were 'acting on behalf -of an individual If Ihe province is lo put up three or fivs million dollars it should see that II, is a sound investment and one m.i .irnfr more -than mere sentimental return., 'Weoall wiuit to see the iron deposils'of . the province .utilized and we all want to see an iron and steel industry n well as anv other industries but we. do not want another P d F ex per.enc, or a -Pacific Whaling Company experience or a Canadian Collieries experience.
