OF all the kings of England, perhaps
Richard, the hunchback has the most
sinister reputation, his only rival being
the crafty John. He died on Bosworth
field, fighting for the crown he had
gained by murder. 1t is matter of
history as well as of Shakespeare-no
always the same thing-that the tide
of success turned against Richard
when Lord Stanley took himself and
his men from his side to that of Rich
mond. When hard pressed, Richard
cried: u nm king of England! l will
not bulge an inch" Then, being over
whelmed, he died, crying, "Treasont

what we all know is this. that if we did
all that we have the power to do and
the rest Of the Allies did the same, we
can win, and our business at the mo-
ment is to win. not TO concern our
selves too much about the future OF
Canada. II we exercise the right kind
Of economy we will be in such a posi-
ton after the war that the interest we
will have TO face will not hurt US. No
body was ever ruined by paying inter-
est to themselves. and that would be
the condition of Canada after war II
we exercised reasonable economy. We
will own our own war debt TO a very
great degree and we will be paying in
terest to ourselves. A thing Of this
kind does not hurt very much and so
far as the man in the street is con-
cerned ne must remember that the
chief business Of the politician is to
handle the reins of taxation in such a
way that it will not fall on him.

signs of improvement. While local
institutions continue to maintain a
conservative policy as regards the
granting of loans for the longer ma
turtles, somewhat more of this bust
ness has bee ndone, and at slight
concessions from the quotations Of a
fortnight ago. The demand for
funds is by no means active, how
ever, despite the fact that trade in
various parts Of the country is still
running large and bank clearings are
of striking volume. Money on call
has been plentiful all the week, and
the rate has scarcely varied from
pa per cent. The ease in this mar
ket is natural, in view Of the willing
ness of banks to put out money on
call when they do not think of max
ing loans for a defnie period. That
the loan item in the weekly bank
statement should show an expansion
of about S50,0O0,0OO was not sur
prising. 1t is explained by the shift

srectively, $57.1l7 and $64,SO8. The
