Interesting Tall! On Investment Broker's Role

Mr. Reginald Howard was the guest speaker at the monthly meeting of Trinity Men's Associa- tion -held last night. In an in- formative address. Mr. Howard traced the economic and indus- trial development of Canada and the part which the investment houses played during the past half century.

Chairman for the meeting was Mr. Kenneth Parker who acted in the absence of the president. Mr. Ches. Cooper. The meeting open- ed with Rev. Howard Christie asking Grace. Alan Macxenzie delighted the audience with three well played clarinet solos, Stan Lancaster led I sing-song and George Thompson presided at the piano. Mr. Russell Seller was asked to extend the thanks of the association to the ladies for the bountiful dinner.

Mr. Howard. who was introduc- ed by Mr. Fulton Pierce, explain- ed that i.ri the early part of the present. century most of the in- vestment capital in Canada cam- either from the United States or from the British Isles. He said that the role of the investment dealer first received recognitionln World War I when it was found that great difficulty was experi- enced in putting across the first victory loan drive. When the sec- ond one was launched under the direction of the investment, houses it was a decided success.

"From then on," said Mr. How- Ird, investment dealers continued to play an important part in the nations economy. He pointed out that today, 85".. of the capital in- vested in Canada is Canadian while ll iew years ago this situa- tion waa reversed.

Mr. Howard went on to show the part an investment dealer pays as I member of his commu- nity. place is not always rec- ognized for rwhat it really is." said the speaker who pointed out that an investment dealer finds capital for the users of capital.

Cross Society required to pay taxes.

Court. Gaudet felt that before the Council came to a decision on this matter. the question of investi- gating other institutions that could come within a charitable category should be considered. For example he took the Sacred Heart Home. Coun. MacDonald felt that if they began to look into all the charitable institutions "it would scare you". Coun. Johnatone said he was in- clined to agree with Coun. Gaudet in regard to an investigation. The matter was left for the considera- tion of the next meeting.
