"It

Bank's
'Loaning
Policy
Speaking
of
the
course
of
the
Bank's
business
during
the
year.
Sir
Charles
frankly
admitted
that
a
larger
proportion
of
the
Institution's
assess
than
the
directors
might
like
to
see
had
perforce
to
be
Invested
in
high-grade
securities,
for
the
simple
reason
that
customers
were
in
a
large
measure
able
to
finance
the
present
volume
of
business
from
their
own
resources.
W.
A.
Bog,
who
Is
Joint
general
manager
of
the
Bank
with
Jackson
Dodds,
said,
in
discussing.
this
subject:
"We
never
lose
sight
of
the
fact
that
lending
money
for
com
mercial
purposes
is
the
back-bone
of
our
earning
power:
we
are
readv
and
always
have
been,
to
consider
applications
for
loans
which
fall
within
the
category
of
nrudent
banking
risks.
We
have
emphasized
this
feature
in
advertisements
In
recent
months
In
order
to
contro
vert
a
widespread
misconception
that
there
Is
a
lack
of
banking
credit.
These
advertisements
did
not
announce
a
new
policy,
or
even
the
revival
of
a
policy;
they
simply
restated
a
policy
from
which
the
Bank
has
at
no
time
departed,
namely,
that
of
affording
every
rea
sonable
accommodation
to
com-
I
mercial
borrowers.
We
might
add
in
fhis
connection
that
the
total
of
credits
authorized
for
our
borrowing
customers
Is
very
lareelv
In
ex
cess
of
the
amount
which
they
have
found
that
they
can
use
to
advantage."
Bank's
and
Depositors'
Responsibilities
Referring
to
the
responsibilities
of
the
Bank
to
Its
depositors
and!
the
duty
of
he
latter
to
use
their
influence
to
prevent
any
undermining
of
the
banking
structure
of
tne
country.
Sir
Charles
Oordon
said:
'The
total
of
assets
under
administration
by
our
chartered
banks
is
nearly
three
billions
of
dollars.
In
the
banks
of
Canada
there
are
some
4,700,000
depositors,
our
own
bank
having
over
a
million.
Depositors
received
during
the
last
year
some
$37,000,000
in
interest.
The
Interest
which
shareholders
In
the
banks
received
was
$12,000,000,
I
think
we
may
therefore
consider
that
this
vast
body
of
depositors,
who
outnumber
the
neonle
who
voted
nt
th
last
general
election
in
Canada,
are

in

of
