Has "faith" subsided to the low ebb of accepting as a, fact, the belief that a disease is incurable? Meanwhile, a vague misgiving persists that: Somehow, somewhere there must be an answer to incurability. Chiropractlcally, the greatest handicap to health restoration is: So many cherish a traditional faith or belief to the bitter end. Meantime, a simple disease descends into an Indefinite and complicated realm of Incur- ABILITY, Thus faith and belief hinders, and denies, the natural self-curABILITY within themselves the rightful duty to remedy (meaning; to cure again). Such statements, of disease, special or general are verified by an exhaustive survey. Over 93,000 persons turn- ed, when disillusioned and disappointed, to Chiropractic (Nature) as a LAST resort. Some 410 qualified Chiropractors raised no question as to the merits of faith, belief or, the competency of an7 remedy, to cure again. Nature had preordained that every- J thing was Incorporated within. Nature's OWN Remedy substituted lncur-ABILITY for cure or marked Improve- ment In 79,000 cases; or, 85 of tiresome, Intangible dls- ease names. ' A critical reader may question this astonishing record. For the needy there are two basic considerations: The be- lief that a condition Is obstinately incurable as, against the Chiropractic record with thousands , of varied, Incur- able cases. Both cannot be right. When faith and belief falls to move mountains, Mahomet must go to the mountain. Possibly, the earnest Health Becker discerns, by the mountainous record, that every- thing has not been tried; that, high odds yet remain in his favor.

Challenges socialists to show how public would benefit by state monopoly of banking. Sydney G. Dobson, Vice President and General Manager, reports bank business at unprecedented levels. Assets reach new peak of over The threat to the personal lib- tors and borrowers eity of all Canadians, Inherent in the plans of the socialists for the natlonlzation or Canadian industry, was emphasized by Morris W. Wilson, President of The Royal Bank of Canada, at the bank's Annual Meeting. Mr. Wilson reviewed the tremendous role Canada had played In this mightiest war of all time and the manner in which workmen and enterprisers alike had co-operated In it. "Despite this fact,'' he said, "we are being told by all the publicity methods revolutionary partisans can devise, that in order to win the peace we must change our entire economic system and launch out into new and untried paths, under new and Inexperienced leaders. The theorists and visionaries who preach these doctrines of an economic revolution may be thoroughly honest and sincere. But the fact remains that the principles they advocate can only lead, as a final and Inevitable lesult, to a completely regimented economy, and on this point I cannot do better than quote the Editor of the London Economist, a well-known writer of liberal views: "... A wholly planned economy "is Incompatible wth any degree "of political freedom. The possi bility of a man's earning his "living In his own way, without "let or hinderance. Is the essential condlUon of there being any "freedom of discussion, any "freedom to oppose. If more than "a fraction of the electorate "come to depend for their livelihood upon the tempoiary masters of the mechanism of ths "State that is, upon the politiciansthen democracy Is at "an end." "I am more convinced than ever that the menace of socialistic teaching Is one which closely affects everyone in Canada In both his business and private life. "These advocates of a new order have an astounding scheme, which will result In notning less man complete regi mentation of Canada. As you know, one of their principal objectives, and the first plank In their platform, is to nationalize the bank3. SOCIALIST MENACE "Naturally, we are lnteiested In preserving our business, in which so many shareholders have invested, and to which so many depositors have entrusted their savings. But even more as citizens than as businessmen, we deplore the rise of this creed, be- J ADDRESS cause we iirmiy Deneve mat im- plementatlon of the socialist plan would ruin this generation and set Canada back centuties. "It is as a citizen as well as a banker that I put before you some further considerations to which I hope you will give your earnest thought. 'The course of the socialist party In Canada has been charted for us In several books which make clear that nothing short of complete socialization of the means of production and finance will satisfy the party. That means domination of every phase of economic life, including agriculture, labour and capital. Therefore, because we all fall Into one or other of the classes It means domination of every Individual. "What would the socialists achieve by nationalization of the banks? Their book on social planning says that they will ' form one board of directors for I tho nnMnnal ihanlr mnninnlv ln stead of the ten boards which now opeiate the competitive charted banks. FRIDAY JANUARY THE DAIL? NEWS 21 Sydney G. Dobson, Vice President and General Manager, in le viewing the bank's Baiancr Sheet said that the volume ol business passing through the bank's books had been unprecedented during the past year. Total assets now exceeded $1,500,000,000. an all-time nigh In the history of the bank. Hp rpvieweri at lp ruth tne nan played by the banks in assisting the country's war financing. "There appears to be a m!s- conception In the minds of some people that the banks purchase a substantial portion of the Government public issues and Increase their earnings In; this manner. This Is not the case. During 1943 two Victory Loans were issued, realizing $2,-,' 692,000,000, The 4th Victory Loan fldated in May last was purchased by 2,669,000 subscribers, and the 5th Victory Loan in October, by over 3,000,000. In neither loan did the banks buy bonds for their own account. While there Is naturally some change in the holdings of tho original subscribers, relatively only an unimportant amount found its way Into the banks. "In common with the other banks, we have done everything and depositpr, would be of In- possible to make these Victory estimable value In determining Loans a success. Managers have taxation policies. But would this encouraged customers to sub- appeal to the depositor "Furthermore, as we are organized today, a prospective borrower may go from bank to another if he falls to convince the first, banker of his probity, ability and prospects; under the socialistic system, unless the prospective borrower couud convince the state bank of the soundness of the project for which he sought to borrow money, and also that the transaction to be financed was In harmony with socialist party objectives, he would be turned down and would have no other bank to look to for a loan. Do you think that such a system would assure the borrower fair treatment as he now receives? "I believe the answer to these two questions, affecting deposl- scribe or to Increase their sub scrlptlons. All depositors con! sldcrcd capable of subscribing for an amount of $50 or more ' have been written to and adver I tlsements have been Inserted in the press urging depositors to subscribe to the full extent of their ability." EARNINGS MOH ST Despite the i: mendous Increase In the business of the bank, earnings were modest, said Mr. Dobson. "I think that any fair-minded person will agree that the $2,100,000 paid to shareholders last year was a very modest amount to be paid to the proprietors of the bank, when we consider the size of the organization and the tremendous amount of business it lis necessary to handle In order to cam that amount. Any other iype of business working with assets of one and a half billion dollars would have been able to earn lor shareholders a considerably larger return. If we consider this yield in relation to our two main earning assets. loans and investments, we find political freedom impossible tinder wholly planned that the dividend paid to our "Socialistic literature suggests that access to the books of the bank and a consequent rupture of the confidential' relationship that now exists between bank favouritism of Is a positive At the same time, we should wit ness a spread of that sterility of ideas and enterprise which tends to accompany every human activity tha: finds itself in a position of unchallengeable power." PRIVATE RANKING BEST Mr. Wilson suggested that it wa; not simply due to chance thai banking uie world oer had continued In private hands, but that the people and the Governments had considered it advisable from every point of view that banking should be free of political and partisan influences. He reminded his audience that Canadian banks were already effectively controlled by the Bank of Canada and that further intervention by the Government In the banking business would In his belief, be superfluous anJ would not be welcomed by the majority who deal with the banks. Mr. Wilson again urged business to speak up on Its own behalf. "Business will have only Itself to blame if, thiough inaction, it vacates or fails to occupy field: of activity into which it later finds that ?ublic opinion has forced the Government to enter". Mc Wilson saw no reason for approaching .the post-war erst with any defeatist attitude and declared that the same energy initiative and selflessness which had developed In the war years. could be used for constructive pu. poses after the peace. In all plans for the rehabilitation of devasted countries the United States and Canada would be looked to as leaders, he said. POST-WAR REHABILITATION "I personally believe that large outright gifts ot food, raw materials, finished goods and machinery to backward and devast ed countries will in the long run, and even from the most selfish point of view, not only contribute most to human welfare, but both in the short and long run be in the best Interests of those nations which can afford to make the gifts. "If this is too much to expect of human beings In their present stage of development, the alternative must be loans on a very large scale on long and easy teims, or probably a combination of both loans and gifts." GENERAL MANAGER'S shareholders was less than l5th of one cent on the dollar on the total of these two Items, a very trifling handling charge, to say the least. I have never Heard the claim made that Canadian banks are not efficiently run, therefore the answer must be that the profit in banking Is small." Mr. Dobson reported that the progress made by the banks No.' On the contrary, history south American branches had and experience lead us to expect; been particularly gratifying and that such a government monopo-j that its foreign branches were ly of banking would lead to party adherents. in a position to be of practical aid in promoting post-war trade. The General Manager remarked on the efficient manner in which the bank's staff had dealt with tremendously increased business and provided new wartime services despite enlistments, and paid tribute to the enthusiasm and ability of the many young women who have joined the bank since the war began. .123 ENLISTMENTS "The voluntary response oT our stair to our country s call has been magnificent", said Mr. Dobson, "and there are , now 2,123 men in the armed forces. Of this number 2.009 wele employed In Canada, which is equivalent to 69 of our Canadian staff of military age at the outbreak of war. "To these men the bank pays a portion of the difference between their bank salary and service pay. They retain their membership in the Pension Fund Society, and the bank pays their group Insurance premiums. We shall welcome them when the time comes for them to return to their duties in the bank. "Unhappily the number of casualties has doubled since I last reported to you; 67 of our young men have now given their lives In the cause. Their names, which we hold in honour, appear in the printed record of this meeting, and we extend our heartfelt sympathy to their fam ilies.
