TEN YEARS LATER...
BANKS REFUSE TO REVEAL HIDDEN RESERVES
OTTAWA - MAY 26 (C.P.) - A determined drive was made in the Commons Banking Committee yesterday by Arthur G. Slaght, K.C. Liberal member for Parry Sound constituency in Ontario to have made public the hidden reserve figures of the ten chartered banks.

"S.M. Wedd, president of the Canadian Bankers' Association, however, refused to divulge the amount of the reserves. C.S. Tompkins, Inspector General of Banking, also refused."
"The Edmonton Bulletin" May 26, 1944

The Bankers control just about everything.
