One
Of
The
Reasons
-
-
According
to
United
States
publications,
one
of
the
reasons
for
the
out
and
out
pro-Rritish
policy
of
United
States
at
the
present
time
is
the
intimation
from
the
Latin-American
countries
that,
if
Britain
is
allowed
to
collapse,
they
would
havu
to
ease
on
to
the
Nazi
bandwagon
in
self-
defence.
That
would
leave
United
States
practically
iso
lated.
So
the
all-British
campaign
was
started
largely
as
a.
pelf-defense
measure.
Naturally,
any
weakening
of
the
British
Empire
would
strengthen
the
Nazi
cause.
Speaks
The
Language
-
-
-
One
reason
for
President
Roosevelt
sending
Harry
Hopkins
to
London,
it
is
said,
is
his
ability
to
speak
the
language
of
Ernest
Bevin,
the
great
British
labor
leader.
who
next
to
Churchill,
is
the
prevailing
influence
at
White-
hall.
Roosevelt
wishes
to
keep
in
touch
with
the
more
democratic
movements
in
England
and
particularly
with
the
possible
future
of
the
country
when
the
war
is
over.
'What
will
England
be
like
then?"
he
asks
himself,
so
he
sent
Hopkins
to
find
out.
London's
Still
'Ere
When
the
new
year
was
rung
in
at
midnight
by
Big
Ben,
all
London
being
blacked
out,
a
Cockney
voice
was
heard
"And
London's
Still
'Ere."
It
was
one
of
those
appropriate
remarks
that
is
bound
to
be
remembered.
In
spite
of
the
bombing,
in
spite
of
the
burning
of
a
portion
of
the
city,
something
that
evidently
might
have
been
presented,
the
city
is
still
there
and
will
be
there,
no
matter
what
the
Nazis
do
to
it.
Churchill's
reply
to
a
remark:
"They
gave
us
something
last
night
didn't
they?"
was
we'll
give
them
something
back."
Army

Germany's

said
to
lie
in
her

but
that

Some
of
the
factors

of
Canada's.

were
dealt
with
extensively
by
Morris
W.
vVilson,
President
and
Managing
Director,
at
the
Seveniy-Seeahd
Annual
Meeting
of
The
Royal
Bank
of
Canada
in
Montreal.
Mr.
Wilson
drew
attention
to
the
fact
that

and

on
the
essential
soundness
of
Canada's
financial
position
at
the
present
time.
Mr.
Wilson,
however,
warned
that
in
the
year
ahead
the
financial
problem
would
be
more'
difficult
and
called
for
drastic
retrenchment
by
the
public
and
by
gov
ernments
In
order
that
the
maxi
mum
effort
might
be
devoted
to
war
purjxjses.
"There
is
little
evidence
of
"restriction
of
even
extravagant
expenditures
oh
the
part
of
the
public
as
a
whole,
except
lasofar
as
this
line
of
action
has
been
made
necessary
by
the
Incidence
of
tax
ation."
he
said.
"Unless
the
public
ate
prepared
to
save
a
very
large
proportion
of
the
Increased
wages
and
salaries
which
are
being
distributed,
there
are
three
alternatives
before
us:
(1)
The
Government
must
further
drastically
Increase
taxation,
or
(21
A
system
of
forced,
savings
must
be
adopted,
or
3)
The
well
known;
Inflationary
spiral
will
steadily
gain
headway.
"Nor
am
I
sure
that
Federal,
Provincial
and
Municipal
authori
ties
have
eliminated
from
their
budgets
all
unnecessary
expendi
tures
and
postponed
all"
capital
outlays
that
can
possibly
be
de
ferred,
as
they
should
do
in
war
time."
1AXATION
Mr.
Wilson
expressed
the
opinion
that
"a
considerably
larger
propor
tiOn
of
our
Costs
should
be
met
by
taxation
thdn
has
been
Indicated
by
any
plans
so

discussed.
It
seems
quite
clear,
that
at
the
pres
en
temp
of
business
pur
national
income
is
increasing
at
a
much
greater
rate
than
the
aggregate
cl

Due
to
present
business
activity
Provinces
and
Municipalities
have
had
the
problem
of

them

for

In

In

Federal
taxation."
said
Mr.
Wilson.
While
admitting
that
no
perfect
scheme
of
taxing
profits
or
Income
had
ever
been
devised,
Mr.
Wilson
expressed
the
opinion
that
present
corporation
taxes
are
not
designed
to
produce
either
the
maximum
re
turns
or
to
spread
the

,
"I

Referring

Mr.
