New high records in the field of Canadian banking are revealed in the annual balance sheet of The Royal Bank of Canada for the year ending Novem- ber 30, 1948. Total assets show an increase of $128,846,567, and now stand at $2,222,487,706. This is an all-time high. Total deposits tire over the two billion dollar mark for the first time and now amount to $2,067,483,090, an in- crease of well over $133,000,000 for the year, indicative of the degree of public saving is a healthy in- crease of nearly 880000.000 in total deposits bearing interest. Increases are also shown in loans. As a. re- sult of the greater volume of business, profits are moderately higher than in the previous yrcrir. Current loans have increased by $37,557,656 and total $591,870,411. leaving for England. O'Hara had been waiting to hear from the detective, whom he had acquainted with the address of the Club where he would be staying in London. And, until he got‘ some reply to that letter. he had decided it best not to make any move as to Caryl's mysterious communicat- ion from the address in Camden Town. Carnot's silence indeed had be- gun to perplex him when this momiilgs nclvspaper-siory revealed the arrival of Youse! Hussein and his yacht. H; had fully expected sortie reply by this morninfs P081’. but nothing came. It was impos- sible how. of course, to remain in- active any longer. THAT WAS FAYNE . With over a. couple of hours to spare before his appointment with Caryl, O'Hara. suddenly decided to take s. look over Camden Town way, spying out the land. The neighbourhood struck him as the very place where a fug- itive like Andrew Fayne might secrete himself with comparative safety, becoming a mere unit l" a densely populated area. The actual address in Silver Street. when he reached it, proved to be a shabby-faking apartment-house with a front-door leading to the street, but the ground-floor oc- gupied by a news-agent and tobaccolnistb shop. O'Hara knocked at the front- e which was o. “bed-sit- t." card. His knock y the type frovrly- cor- door abov ting-room to 1e was answered by precisd of person he expected. u looking female of immense pulance. "Payne?" she repeated fully. and shook her hcnd. "N0 such name here. Yul-SW‘- "W" had no-onc here 0i’ m" nfllm- m‘ now nor never and I ought to know." It seemed to O'Hara that she rfectly honest in her infor- mation, and he recognised W0 that quite possibly a looser mlsht mis- lead her as to his real name. He was rather afraid of making his enquiries too pointed in view of the fact that the message i0 Caryl had specially warned her not body. but to write, ‘Hara wanted was to alarm Andrew Wylie. which would be likely if he heard that a man had been askinfl 85°"!

Then, uncertain quite tvhal: to do. the sight of the tobaccoriist-shop re- minded him that he was without cigarettes, so he stepped into the shop. The interior was dark in itself, bub-coming in out of the brilliant sunshine in the narrow street — O'Hara was quite blinded for the moment.

Sorry and all that. but the postman ain't delivered no Cupidls darts I11 his bag, not for you, not since you come along two days since."

Dudley of Trinity Church was the guest speaker at the Christmas dinner meeting of the Charlotte- town Y's Men's Club held at the new "Y" on Thursday evening. Dr. Dudley in a very eloquent but in- formal talk dwelt on "The Wonder of Christmas", and reminded his listeners that despite the sadness and sordldness prevailing in the world, there was no place for cyn- icism at the Christmas season. "Gad put wonder in the world," said Mr. Dudley, "to keep hope alive and amid the present turmoil. the Star of Wonder shines again in the world, as itdld 2000 years ego, bringing hope and peace to men of goodwill." Dr. Dudley was intro- duced by chairman O. K. Presby and heartily thanked by Frank Johnson. A lurge birthday cake, commemorating the 23rd annivers- ury of the local club. was on the head table, and was cut by Charter Member Reuel LePagc. Other chart- er members still active in the club are Harry Cudmore, Jack MacNalr and Reg. Taylor. A fine musical program followed consisting of Christmas Carols, led by Frank Johnson with O. K.

Chinese Reds llave List Di “War Criminals” By PAUL KERN LEE Associated Press Staff Writer (For James D. White) SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 26 - lAP) — When it comes to waging war, the Chinese Communists keep up with international styles. They have just broadcast a list of 45 Chinese Government lead-. ers they intend to punish as "war criminals," it those individuals are unlucky enough to fall into Red hands. It is doubtless more than mere coincidence that this list was made public only s. couple of days after the hzuiglng of l-lideki Tojo and his war-making Japanese compari- ions in Tokyo. The Chinese Gov- ernment participated in the cori- vlction of the Japanese. Now the Communists make clear to Generalissinio Clliung Kai-Shek that this business of winners ex- ecuting losers is a handy two- edged precedent. The Pbeds suggest strongly that they are prepared to go consider- ably farther afield than the Allies did in choosing likely prospects for condemnation. They say that the Communist armies will have first choice, but "all people's organizations taro/ush- out the country have also the right of listing war criminals." If the Communists win, their list is likely to be a Whopper that will put Nuelnberg and Tokyo in the siiade.. Their first nominations are sig- nificant in several respects: For omissions as well as inclu- sions; for timing; and for the su- preme confidence in victory that publication denotes" The name of Chiang Kr-Sl-iek naturally loads all the rest.
