The

Passing
of
Pat

The
late
Senator
Burns
always
was
known
to
millions
of
people
as
"Pat."
He
seldom
got
"Mister,
Burjis"
from'
anyone.
As
to
a
title,
it
was
wholly
foreign
to
his
nature.
Pat
Burns
had
a

Recovery
Realized
Mr.
Dunning
said
that
the
expectation
voiced
last
year
of
a
strengthening
and
broadening
of
the
recovery
movement
had
been
"amply
realized."
H3
said:
"Since
1929
no

dawned

promise
for
Canada."

as
compared
with
$4,094,000,000
In
1935.
Mr
Dunning
warned
that
there
was
still
a
great
distance
to
travel
alongr
the
road
to
recovery
and
that
"there
is
more
than
a
suggestion
of
a
mentality
such
as
led
to
the
deplorable
excesses
of
the
late
twenties."
Provinces

the
minister
of
finance
said.
"It
is
a
basic
principle
that
a
government
should
be
able
to
stand
financially
on
its
own
feet
that
it
should
itself
be
responsible
for
raising
revenue
necessary
to
meet
its
own
needs.
I
look,
therefore,
with
great
confidence
to
re
sults
of
an
Investigation
Into
this
whole
problem
to
be
made
by
a
royal
commission
which
is
to
be
appointed.
If
this
Investigation
arid
report
are
as
competent,
as
impar
tial
and
as
constructive
as
the
occasion
demands,
they
may
well
serve
to
point
the
way
to
such
ac
tion
as
to
make
1937
as
significant
in
uanaaian
mstory
as
the
year
18G7."
Opposed
to
Speculation
Warning
to
stock
market
operators
against
further
development
of
current
speculative
fever
was
sounded
by
Mr.
Dunning
In
the
budget
speech.
If
carried
further,
false
standards
of
value
and
un
balanced
development
would
result
with
their
"Inevitable
aftermath."
Full
co-operation
of
stock
exchanges
and
banking
Institutions
would
be
necessary
to
regulate
the
flow
of
credit
Into
speculative
channels
In
order
to
prevent
a
new
disaster.
Some
contraction
of
credit
might
be
necessary
to
prevent
excesses
In
the
rising
tide
of
Canadian
business
activity
sooner
than
many
people
expect
at
the
moment,
he
said.
"The
control
of
the
volume
of
money
and
credit
with
a
view
to
mitigating
the
extremes
of
booms
and
depressions
Is
one
of
the
prl
mary
functions
of
a
central
bank,'
he
said.
"The
easy
money
policy
which
has
been
followed
In
the
recent
past
Is,
In
my
opinion,
an
Il
lustration
of
appropriate
action
In.
time
of
depression.
There
will
come
a
time,
however,
and
it
may
come
more
quickly
than
many
of
us
ex
pect,
when
precisely
the
opposite
policy
will
have
to
be
followed
If
the
best
Interests
of
the
country
are
to
be
served."
