BUSINESS GOOD
IN CANADA
No Financial Depression, and
None Since the War Began.

A well-known correspondent of an
important Western daily paper recent
ly made an extended visit to Western
Canada, and in summing up the re-
suits, after going thoroughly into con-
ditions there, says there is no financial
depression in Canada, nor has there
been anything of the sort since the
war began. Anyone who has watched
the barometer of trade, and seen the
bank clearings of the different cities
grow and continue to grow will have
arrived at the same conclusion. The
trade statistics reveal a like situation.
The progress that the farmers are
making is highly satisfactory. AS this
correspondent says: 'It is true there
have been adaptations to meet new
conditions, and taxes have been re-
vlsed, and that a very large burden of
added expense in many lines has been
assumed, but it has all been done me-
thodically, 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 a restricted
area in the east, Canada is not an in
dustrial country. The greater portion
of the Dominion must be classed as
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 be
the case in the States. Even in peace
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
sufficiency and to maintain and even
advance it's civilian activities.
"Canada's first element of financial
strength lay in it's branch bank sys-
tenn. This system has two great adj
vantages: it 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, it places at 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:

1914 63,65O,23O

VOLUNTEER SYSTEM
 MILITARY SUICIDE
THUS LIEUT-GEN BRIDGES, WITH BRITISH, CHARAcTERIZES IT.
 WAR CONDITIONS CHANGE.
NATION AGAINST NATION
Lord Kitchener's Personality Alone Prevented Early Abandoning of Volunteer System and General
 Resort To conscription.

Washington.-Lieu Gen. Bridges, member of the British commission, declared here in talk with newspa- per correspondents that the British democracy had become almost fanat- ical' over universal military service.
 The volunteer system under which the empire entered the war, Gen. Bridges said, has cost the lives of the most valuable citizens, crippled indus trial mobilization and immeasurably set back Englands efforts in the war.
 War" said Gen. Bridges, "is DO longer war of expeditions, but is a case of nation against nation. Men, women and children are equally drawn into it's vortex, the women and chil- dren being forced into industry and fed on half rations in order to supply the men at the front War has be- ness and needs the full effort of every member of the community, directed along the lines most necessary to be saved"
 Gen. Bridges talked freely of the diff ficulties which had beset England at the beginning of the war.
 "The source of our greatest difficult ty," said Gen. Bridges, twas the send ing to Europe of practically our whole trained army as an expeditionary force This robbed us of all training officers for our new armies and it was only through returned wounded off cers and the withdrawal of others that we were able to build the skeleton of our new forces. At the same time we allowed most of our better class to enter the ranks, which withdrew them from the officers class and plac- ed that responsibility on far less we'll equipped persons. The wastage of the best blood of the nation was enormous.
 "It is my opinion that if it had not been for Kitchener's immense person. lality we should have had conserip- tion within few months. If Lord Roberts proposal for universal service had been enforced we should have saved enormously, not only in men, but in industrial efficiency. The great majority of army officers would have done anything to have gotten rid of the volunteer system with which the country was at first saddled."
 Gen. Bridges estimated eight months as the necessary time to train a division.
