It is pointed out that in nearly all particulars the Canadian pen- sions are higher than those in the United States. Prior to De- cember 24 the total disability pensions in the United States ranged from $300 to #400 and in Canada they were $720. The United States raised the total dis- ability pensions, making them range from $900 to $1,250 a year, increasing according to the num- ber of dependents. It is expected that Canada may recommend an approximation of the United States rate.
