Prince Rupert Daily News Prince Rupert Daily News Thursday, December 6, 1SS1 As I See It i : of Die above Angle' points is this over-riding consideration: The Liberal party managers are well aware that no government In Ottawa is likely to be i as popular in 1953 or 1954 as it i is will be early in 1952. The vast winter re-annaniciit ' program is just getting started. for there is precious little difference between ratepaying and taxpaying. With municipal affairs becoming more aroused, it might bvi thought ratepayers would have plenty of queries just now. But. apparently, not.

C. Gardner, M.C., president of the Bank o Montreal, told shareholders at their 134th annual meeting today.

Natural park like land, only 8 miles from the fast growing city of Prince George, about 4 miles from airport and on the Giscombe highway or rather there is half mile road leading to farm and its lake frontage from the highway. About 14 acres have been cullivaied but neglected past few years. But these acres are in grass and neighbours' cattle graze freely thereon.

National Future Bright "One may safely forecast a brilliant long-range future for Canada," Mr. Gardner said. ". . . In a desperately uneasy world, in which the shadows of communism and turbulent nationalism do not grow less, the march of events is hurrying this country along a pathway of development which otherwise might have, taken a longer time to traverse." But Canadians should see not only the opportunity but the challenge, he stated. In the immediate future, the proportion of national output devoted to defence production and to the building of industrial plant and equipment seemed likely to be increased. All this, added to a "natural urge" for bettering living-standards and extending social services, resulted In a danger ot "more insistent demands on our output than can readily be met." If this Is so, "the possibility or further inflationary pressure is still very real." Analyzing powerful long-term influences which were "tending gradually to undermine the y . h m-- t ilk ence of a sizable deficit on current account transactions. "Exports have been running well ahead of last year. But Imports, particularly from the United States, have been rising" even more rapidly, reflecting a high level of Canadian business activity, vigorous industrial expan-' sion and the increasing momentum of the defence program. However. "Canada's reserves of gold and U.S. dollars have declined onlv moderately," because most of the adverse "balance of trade was financed by an inflow of capital into Canada. Mentioning again the great activity of the past year, in all departments of the bank, Mr. Ball said, "I cannot find words to express adequately my appreciation of the services rendered by our staff at all levels, both In meeting these problems and in carrying on the day-to-day Uvsk of providing constantly expanding services at a high level of efficiency." Referring to the welfare of he staffr the general manager noted that the bank was endeavouring to meet the continued increase In the cost of living by the payment of monthly cdst-of living bonuses. He nlso reported an increased schedule of insurance under the Group Life .Insurance Policy, and greater benefits under the Group Accident and Sickness Policy.
