These ringing words. expressing the
attitude of the Russian government
toward America and the American
mission headed by Elihu Root, were
voiced by NJ. Tereschtenko, minister
of foreign affairs, responding for the
Council of Ministers to Mr. Roots ad-
dress of sympathy and good will on
the part of the American government.
The American ambassador, David
r. Francis, presented the Root mis-
sion to the ministers in Marinsky pal
ace, explaining that the members of
the mission had come to Russia to
discover how America can best CO.
operate with its ally in forwarding the
fight against the common enemy.
The ministers listened with rapt
attention to Mr.. Roots address. which
was an impressive utterance both in
substance and manner.
NJ. Tereschtenko rose from q sick
bed to attend the presentation. He
said that RuSsias revolution was
based on the wonderful words uttered
by America in l77G. He read part of
the declaration of independence and
exclaimed: Russia holds with the
United States that all men are Great
ed free and equal"

the minister, the necessity of creating
strong democratic force within its
boundaries and the fighting of an ex-

- "eil-knowh correspondent of nm

su'.s' aiter going thoroughly into con-
uiuohs there, says there is no financial

Deen anything of the sort since the

inc barometer of trade, and seen tho
oank clearings of the different cities
grow ana continue to grow will hoye
arrived Mt the same conclusion, The
trade statistics reveal like situation,
Inc progress that the farmers are
making Is highly satisfactory. As this
correspondent says: "It is true there
nave been adaptations to meet now
cohdiuons' ana taxes have been re-
Vised, and that very large burden of
AIDED expense in many lines has been
assumed. but 1t has all been done mo
thodicnlly, carefully and with full re-
gard for the resources to be called on.
That this has been done fairly and
wisely Is proved by the present com
Portable financial position.
with the exception of restricted
area in the east, Canada is not nm in
dustrial country. The greater portion
of the Dominion must be classed Ms
agricultural area, with only an infini-
tesimal part of it fully developed.
Lacking complete development, the
agricultural portion of Canada has
naturally placed its main dependence
upon fewer resources than would he
the case in the States. Even in pence
times, business would be subject to
more frequent and wider fluctuations,
due to the narrower foundation upon
which it rests
THUS, Canada has been able to
come up to the war with efficiency and
sufIiciency and to maintain and even
advance its civilian activities.
"Canada's first element of financial
strength lay in its branch bank sys-
TEN. This system has two great ad-
vantages: 1t makes the financial re-
sources Of the Dominion fluid so that
supplies of capital can run quickly
from the high spots to the low spots;
also, 1t places Mt the command Of each
individual branch the combined re-
sources Of the whole institution so
that there Is an efficient safeguard
against severe strain at any one
point.
Here in Winnipeg, the all-Canada
banking houses maintain big, strong
branches and, as elsewhere in the
Dominion, these held to an attitude of
saneness and solidity that prevented
even the start of any financial dis
turbance.
That business generally is now COM
ing strong on an even keel Is largely
due to the absolute refusal of the
banks, both branch and independent,
to exhibit the slightest signs of ex-
citement or apprehensiveness.
For all Canada the savings bank
figures are astonishing. Beginning with
1913, they are, for the fiscal year end
ing March 81:
