These financiers apparently look for a steady climb hack to a period of prosperity, a climb extending, over a period of years. Mr. Dtjdds shows that it took seven , years for the country to rise from the low of 1921 to the high of 1928. He urges the curtailment of public expendi-' tures and the encouraging of people in going back to the land. Neither Sir Charles nor Mr. Dodds would commit themselves as to the immediate outlook but both spoke with confidence of the ultimate return of the country to a per i iod of prosperity.

He said events ecus and not Internal causes. During the post-war period the expansion of our Industries, generally speaking, has been on a modest scale. We have not Invested such a large volume of our capital assets In unproductive extensions as has been the case in the United States, and our banks and financial institutions have not had their resources tied up In frosen loans. Fortu nately, under our banking system our banks are prohibited from lend ing on real estate." The Canadian Dollar Me referred to the numerous bank failures In the United States nd to the hoarding of money 'here in safety deposit boxes and remarked "Banking in Canada has followed the even tenor of Its way. The resources of our banks are 'arge. credit supply abundant, note circulation keeps pace with trade -novement time or savings deposits are at a high point, and the superiority of the branch bank system over unit banks has again been demonstrated in this period of business depression."

In closing his address, Sir Charles said: "I would, however, say to those' who feel themselves more or less at a lose In estimating the future that we have one advantage in the Dank of Montreal possessed by few business Institutions. We have the advantage of an intimate record in our own annals of the course of trade In this country for the past 113 years. Looking Into that record we see reflection of periods of great prosperity and reflections of periods when conditions and outlook, not only in Canada but throughout the world, were blacker than any we have experienced during the past two years. Looked at In the large the history of our country, as reflected in the history of your Bank has been one of continued progress and advancement, and I have not the slightest hesitation in reiterating the views expressed at our Ah- previous storms, so now there Is every reason to look forward with confidence to emerging stronger and more prosperous than ever from the conditions which now prevail."
