precious than material undertakings,
namely, the preserving of our national
and individual liberty and the constitu-
tonal freedom won by our forefathers.
Il is, therefore, the intention
of the government to negotiate for a
continuance of the arrangement .
with the imperial government for the
purpose of procuring the funds neces-
sary TO meet our special war expendi-
ture."
1t is interesting 10 note that in the
following fiscal year Canada not only
"cosed the gap" between revenue and
ordinary expenditure. but also paid
from general revenue s45,000,000 on &C
count of the principal of the special
war outlay. Moreover. the government
has been able to announce as its policy
to provide from taxation "what we rea-
sonably can without impairing our eco
nomic strength" The arrangement with
the imperial government to which Hon.
Mr.. White referred provided for ad-
vances to Canada from the Imperial
Treasury, interest to be paid on such
advances at the same rate as was paid
by the imperial authorities upon their
war loans. In other words, Britain was
undertaking. to raise money to meet
Canada's deficit and turn it over to the
Dominion at cost. IL was understood
that cat such time or. times in the fut-
ure as may De agreed upon By the Brit
ish Chancellor of the Exchequer and
the Canadian Minister Of Finance,
Canadian war loan will be issued and
the borrowings from the imperial gov
eminent repaid"

Britain Closes Another

London. Aug. 1.-THE Board of
Trade has decided to wind up the .af-
fairs OF the Horst Company, on the
ground that it is an enemy concern. D..
J. Particle, of Chicago, who was said
by officials of the company to be in
control Of the concern, appeared be-
fore the board and said the control lay
in the hands of American and British
stockholders. II is understood other
companies in which Mr.. Particle is
concerned will meet with similar
fate.
Mr.. Particle was represented in the
hearings by James NJ. Beck, of New

Al Declaration Of War.

Immediately upon the declaration of
war steps were taken to meet the coun-
try's financial requirements of the i'm
mediate future. Arrangements were
made with the imperial government for
advances from September until March
81 OF c12,OCO,O0O. Moreover. the Ca
madam Department of Finance issued
for Dominion purposes Dominion notes
TO an amount of Sl0,000,O00 in excess
Of the additional issue of Sl5,000,0
authorized by Parliament. This step
was later confirmed by special legsla-
ton. Minor emergency measures taken
at the time were the borrowing Of S5,-
600 900 from the Bank of Montreal;
issuance, after the successful notation
of the British war loan OF 100000 Of
six months Treasury bills, negotiated
at Az and a. per cent and the sale Of
81 5000 of Canada's $4,000 stock TO
meet the private requirements of an in
vesting clientele in London. BY these
means Canadas finances were arranged
until the end of the fiscal year on
March 81, 1915. With the exception Of
the bank Indebtedness and the Treasury
bills, the Dominion was in the salts
factory situation of having no maturing
loans to meet until the year 1919.

Friday, August II, 1916.

The stock market, as it wont has
been, gave itself to special and linn
tied emotions. 1t has no direction.
Weakness disappeared from the
shares of corporations producing
munitions, probably on the expecta-
ton that the latest proposal to levy
a Federal tax of 10 per cent on net
war profits would be accepted in
place of the higher specific taxes
proposed in the first House bill.
Motor stocks were strong as a
group, and this could perhaps be
accounted for by the fact that spec
ulative sellers of these shares for a
fall were inundated by a theatri-
cal rise of so points in the price of
General Motors common.

Head of Firm of Lazard Freres

raris, Aug. 1l.-David Kahn, head Of
the international banking firm of
Lazard Freres, is dead.

MIR. Kahn was an American citizen.
He was born in France about seventy
years ago, came 10 this country as a
young man and was naturalized. He
went first to New Orleans and later to
San Francisco. where in 1884 he estab-
lished the London, Paris and American
Bank, which is now the Anglo and Lon
don and Paris National Bank
Mr.. Kahn ended his connection with
tina. institution in the early '90s and
joined the firm of Lazard Freres in
Paris, of which he later became the
senior member. His surviving son, now
in Paris. is also an American citizen.
Mr.. Kahn was a member OF the French

is his biographer, who put in every
thing about his subject except what
he eats and wears and reads. Those
are human details that ought never
to be left out. 1t may be that the
subject never reads. How could
he? He gets to his office at ) a. m.
and does a days work before other
men reach their desks. "He never
hurries and he never seems to tire"
Perhaps he has never read his own
biography. If he could do that
without being either hurried or tired
he is greatly to be envied. when
he was seventeen" says the biog-
rapher, che went to work as a mill
hand in his grandfather's establish
ment." Before he was twenty-one
he gave evidence Of unusual ability.
This was evidence greatly to be
trusted, for now "his, mind works
like the finest and most delicate
piece of machinery" You might
call it a Buick, a Cadillac or an
Oldsmobile mind, agreeably to your
own bias and belief as to what is
the most delicate piece of machin-
cry. 1t certainly could not be
called a Ford mind, because its own
or was once on the point of buying
Ford out.
At the end of the fifth paragraph
It is written: "He made a fortune"
That is where many human nara
tives end. This one is hardly be-
gun. He put together a great com
bination of motor companies, which
was the General Motors Company,
and had yet some ideas over, out of
which grew the Chevrolet Motor
Company. He lost control Of the
General Motors Company in Wall
Street and got it back again. II is
rot clear. according to the biogra-
pher, how he lost control of the Gen
eral Motors Company, though it is
dimly suggested that it was in con-
sequence of defying physical laws.
He tried to put the larger thing into
a lesser thing, or to make the Chew
rolet Motor Company swallow the
ether; but how he got the General
Motors Company back is made clear
enough. He oUt-thought everybody
else. He was, in fact, infallible.
"The automobile men call him a wiz
ard. They credit him with knowing
more about the automobile and its
possibilities than any other living
man" So says the biographer.
No wonder General Motors stock
is valuable. 1t is so very valuable
that one can only wonder why any
body should wish to sell it. As a
matter of fact, it is too nigh to be
easily sold. People are not easily
persuaded to buy a stock quoted at
$50. 1t is too fancy But there are
1umors that it will he made more
accessible to the buyer-that it will
he merged at last with Chevrolet
stock, and the total number of shares
so multiplied that the price can be
brought within every ones reach. In
any other case one should say that
was inevitable, provided, of course,
the original owners wished to get
their own profits out, or, as the vul-
gar phrase is, cash in. In this case
such thoughts seem almost forbid
den. And yet, the biographer says:
"He has vision. He always looks
ahead. He doesn't cling to ideas
when he knows they are unsound."

Butter importations in the fiscal year

Fresh butter is all imported from the

The rise of 80 points in the price

The most interesting financial dis
closure of the day was not of a char
acter to deliver a translation of it
self in prices Immediately. That
was the fact that Japan, out of ner
large bank balances in Wall Street,
had placed S30,OO0,0O0 to the credit
Of the British government, against
n like amount of short term British
Treasury securities placed to the
credit of the Japanese government
in London. This is substantial and
timely aid from an ally. 1t in
creases the fexibility of England's
command over the foreign exchange
market. 1t is possible for Japan to
DO this because in trade on this side
.of the world-that is, with the
UNITED States-the Japanese have
sold more than they have bought
and have been building up very
large credit balance in New York.
Our imports from Japan have been
increasing faster than our exports
thereto. One important item is silk.
