large-
ly
dictated
by
the
growth

dian
interests
in
the
West
indies.
The Bank of Montreal
will now prosecute
West Indian
business

the
exist-
ing branches

Colonial Bank,
while
the
arrangement
also
saves

bank
the opening of Canadian
branches.
A similar interest
has
also
been
acquired
in
the
Colonial
Bank
by
the
National
Bank of South Afriea, which
also
means
that
both institutions
will be
spared
the
invading of territory
which has
hitherto
been
sevrved by one of thew.
The
Coloni-
al Bank will do business
for both
in West

in South Africa.
