DIRECTORS WERE
WHEN MOST NEEDED

The Toronto Saturday Night asks this
question apropos Of the failure OF the
Ontario Bank:

tatns OF Switzerland, inhaling the
bTeeZes Of the Atlantic, catching black
bass in MuskOta. buried 10 the eyes
IN their own busine sses. They were
where directors usually are. They were
around. more or less. They would
come If sent for. and consider such
matters as the manager placed before
them"
1t would appear from this that "the
director who does not direct" is as
much a feature of the Canadian svs-
