12 Workman Is Injured When Dynamite Cap Explodes in Theatre Harvey Lebrun, aged 27, of 22 By Ward, suffered injuries to face and head when a dynamite cap, imbedded in the floor of the Capi tol Theatre for the past 20 yean, exploded about 8.30 this morning. The fulminate of mercury can had apparently been mixed with the concrete for the floor when the theatre, was built in 1920. It was exploded when struck by a cold chisel Lebrun was using to cut through the floor in pre para tion for the installation of a ven tilator. When the blast occurred, Lebrun, who crouched down hold ing the chisel, received it full in the face. He was taken to General Hospital and Dr.

L. P. Pichette, eye specialist, summoned. It is believed the sight of the man's eyes will be saved. His face was pitted with 'cement dust and he was suffering, considerably from shock.

i The theatre was opened on November 8, 1920. Jt is believed the dynamite cap was dropped Into Jhe cement -mixer used on the Job or mixed in with stone from the quarry and became Imbedded In the floor. Tells Canadians Continued from Pace One. lowing summary of the past six months: "(1) There has been no export capital of any importance. "(2) Stability been preserved in the security markets and war financing has been successful on a large scale at reasonable rates.

"(3 Exchange rates have re mained unchanged since Sept. IS. "(4) We have made a com- meiKczncnt ui uic loaa. ok provia- ing Canadian dollars to the United Kingdom. "In other words the financial machinery is in good, order.

But what has been accomplished so far Is only a fraction of what must be done before we the goal of victory." How Control Baa Operated. He said that in operating exchange control every effort bad been made, to play fair so far as non-residents are concerned. "We have met all our obligations; indeed, we have gone further and ajlowed the withdraway of Canadian dollar income at -official exchange rates. In effect, what we have done is to ask the nonresident to leave his capital in this country, so that we may avoid curtailment of the resources which are needed for the conduct of the war. "In doing so, I believe we are serving the non-resident's best Interests as well as our own.

Control or no control, the great bulk oi uie jurcigner capiuu wouia have remained at risk in this country: and so foreigners were bound to have a vital both in our ultimate success and in that degree organization, which will leave us with a sound structure when peace comes. Mr. Towers said that those connected with the control board do 'not underestimate the inconveniences arising from control, and he expressed appreciation for co-op era tion which had been shown in this country "and in the neighboring country as If Canada did not provide Canadian dollars for the buying of war supplies in this country, Mr. Towers continued, then- the United Xingdom would -either have to forego the purchase of the supplies or use gold or United States dollars to pay for them. But the treasure chest of the United Kingdom, or that of France, was not bottomless.

Hew Canada Can Assist. "We- can assist by repatriation of Canadian securities now owned by residents of the United Kingdom. A start has been made on this program, the most Important single transfer so, far being the redemption of the Dominion Government 3 Percent. Loan which was outstanding In the London market in the amount of approximately 20,500,000. In carrying out this transaction, we bought sterling from the United Kingdom Control with which to pay off the bond holders, and the United Kingdom Control received of Canadian money for use in this country.

"Repatriation is not limited to. Government bonds. Provincial, municipal and corporate securities which are brought -home to this country all contribute something to the stock of Canadian dollars reaching the hands of United Xingdom authorities. "A few weeks ago the Minister of Finance announced that arrangements had been made to permit sales of a limited volume of such securities through the normal channels of trade. I peed hardly say That the whole process of repatriation requires and will receive careful supervision.

Repatriation of Securities. This method of providing Canadian dollars, is obviously not the same thing- as granting credits although it provides the same immediate results. Nor is it the same thing as spending on our wartime For when we repatriate the country acquires a new asset. Nevertheless the initial economic effects of repatriation are the same as if were granting credits or spending ine money ourselves. we are producing materials and supplies.

which are not being exchanged for other materials and supplies for the use of our people. Our production is, in. fact, being exchanged for pieces of paper-valuable pieces of paper representing debts we had incurred in past years, or shares of our corpora tions. "It has recently been indicated that our war costs for the fiscal year which has Just commenced might be at least S900.000.000. I cannot mention a definite figure for repatriation during this 12-months But whatever the figure may be, it has to be added to the $500,000,000 to give the total which our people must provide In taxes or savings to cover war' time requirements.

"The sum Involved is extraord inarily large so large that it presents a problem which can only be solved consciously and as a result a good organization and nation wide co-operation, "in peace tune we have treat difficulty acting as a nation. Each segment of the people, each sec uon oi the country, each industry, tends to feel that it has special ciums tor consiaerauon.v Must Shelve Claims. '-In the test that lies ahead of us, let us hope thst all these special claims will be shelved for the common good, and that while we demand equality of sac riflce we do not spend our time thinking up reasons why someone else should bear the burden. "The call to serve in the armed forces is one which anyone -can hear and understand. The call to serve on the economic front is often not so clear.

"But no one who knows the temper of the Canadian people can doubt for one moment their willingness to respond to any and every call which in their minds is related to the wholehearted and successful prosecution the war. .1 Hun Bombs Kill Continued from Page One. day. via Roros to FJellnas where instructions from legation are awaited."

From Gossip Malicious gossip about neighbors and people in the public eye causes ill-will and suffering, engenders hatred, and often results in lasting harm, it was declared by Rev.

Father Welch scored those who tear down characters of others on flimsy pretexts while themselves maintaining a "holier-than-thou" attitude.
