BRITISH COLUMBIA The Royal Bank of Canada 73rd Annual Meeting Morris W. Wilson, President and Managing Director, hails new partnership of Canada and the United States. As Chairman of the British War Supply Council sees Germany outstripped by Britain and North America in 1912. Sydney G. Dobson, General Manager, reports, assets over " $1,000,000,000. Sees record business expansion this year. Prediction that Germany's war this fiscal year alone is estimated production would be outstripped at two billion, 820 million dollars, in 1942 by the combined output which is more than twice as much of Canada, the United States and as our total expenditure in all of Great Britain, was made at the the last war. The United States 73rd Annual Meeting of The Royal Bank of Canada by Morris W. Wilson, President and Managing Director, In his annual address Mr. Wil son gave tremendous productive capacity of North American factories and spoke in glowing terms of the fine record made by Canadian industry since the outbreak of war. "Two years ago," said Mr. Wil son, we were mcapame oi out fitting an infantry division; to day our industries can equip a new division every six weeks. Canadian equipment Is being used in every area of war." Mr. Wilson paid particular tri bute to the Government for the way in which it had approached industry and persuaded manufacturers to go into production of the strange and complicated apparatus of war. CONTROLS CURB INFLATION Referring to the steps already taken to control Inflation Mr. Wilson said, "You cannot divert half million men into the armed services to engage in the most ex travagant kind of destruction and power we snouid expect to live as we have lived in peace-time. We have reached th,e point where we must cut down unneces sary consumption, in order to make available for the war effort all the resources possible. We must keep constantly be fore us the realization that our war effort consists, in a material sense, in things and services: that is, food, raw materials and manu factured products on t,he one hand, and man-power on the other." CANADA PLAYS HER PART As a comrade in arms of Great Britain, Canada, said Mr. Wilson, had been able to make a material contribution to the common cause. We pay the whole cost of rais ing, arming and maintaining the Canadian armed forces serving in Canada, Great Britain, Gibraltar, the Far East, the West Indies and Newfoundland. We supply Great Britain with food, textiles, lumber and finished apparatus of war, and we do not demand "cash on the barrel head." Not one dollar of the $250 nillllons of gold sent to Canada by Great Britain has been used to pay for goods of Canadian origin it has all been expended In the United States, with much more of our own gold, to Canada for British account. Little opportunity existed, said Mr. Wilson, for the making of Dig profits, out of the war. "There has been neither opportunity nor disposition for 'our producers to make big profits out of this war," he said. CAN OUTSTRIP GERMANY has already doubled its entire expenditure during the first Great War. I "United States manufacturers sent to Great Britain in the first as many combat planes as were lost defending the British Isles during the whole of 1940. In such licensing builds the bank's clientele, but mainly because saving is an essential development in our war economy. 1052 ENLISTMENTS Because of war conditions a greatly increased burden had been placed upon the bank's staff, said Mr. Dobson, and too much credit could not be given for the commendable way in which both men and women had performed their duties. "Since the outbreak of war," he said, 1,052 officers, including 43 from our foreign branches, have been granted leave of absence to serve in the armed forces. In Canada and Newfoundland 40 percent of our male employees under 30 years of age enlisted. We have assured all these young men, of whom1 we are Justly proud, and to whose return we are looking :or ward, that positions will be avail able to them. I regret exceedingly to report that eight of our young men have given their lives in the country's service. We extend to their rela tives our sincere sympathy." PRICE CONTROL (Referring to what he termed the new experience for business of price and wage controls, Mr. Dobson said, "Some people view with to cover a part of the cost of raw ' concern the institution or tnese materials and machinery brought controls and it seems to me anjip- to produce war goods propnate time to point ouk uui ana puce uAiug are commonplace with banks, "Our charters are granted to us by virtue of the Bank Act which corses up for revision at ten-year intervals, at which time the chartered banks are subject to close examination by the Banking Committee of Parliament.

In conclusion Mr. Wilson paid a warm, tribute to the heroic manner in which the people of Great Britain had sustained, for over two years, the terrible impact of war and at the same ume performed miracles in the production of urgently needed implements t w-ar.
