"Steps must be at once instituted to release this most unwarranted seizure of funds and securities belonging to the people of eight other provinces, and avoid the grave risk that many of these institutions, with their funds and securities tan-pounded, will be forced into liquidation, otherwise innocent investors, all the way from Halifax to Victoria and Prince Rupert, will suffer unnecessary loss. Governments, before thfc, la the proper exercise tftelr duty, have ordered investigations into the affairs of banks and investment companies. In the iproper .exercise of their duty they have instituted prosecutions, but in fts surrender to panic or possibly to gain an advantage for Ontario investors alone, the Ontario government, in these cases, has outraged all precedent. It has seized funds and securities placed in the safekeeping of these companies by clients from every part of Canada. It has brought the business of these companies to a standstill, injured their credit, failed them with the risk of a forced Insolvency, before even a tittle of evidence had been offered In court. It Is well known fact that one of these companies has 41 branches stretching across Canada from Halifax to Victoria. Head office in Toronto was the re pository of securities and caah contributed by clients of coast to coast. I 'This form of head office management is customary among Dominion-wide financial concerns. "By iU actin In seisins the securities and funds of these presumably solvent companies at a time when the public mind is excited, the Ontario government has placed in jeopardy the Investment of thousands of people in a hun dred cities and towns outside On tario. unnecessary liquidation. The panic action of the Ontario government, unless withdrawn, may result in losses to people all over Canada. Their Injuries will be on the head of the Ontario government. We, In the West, have suffered tnoegh through being deprived of our natural resources, we cannot lightly face the risk of loss to the Western investing public through the mischievous action of the government of Ontario."
