Everyone will be pleased that Former Premier Asquith was elected member for Paisley, not because they desire the defeal of a labor candidate, but because they like to see a man who has done such noble service for his country given a seat once more in Parliament. Mr. Asquith is 68 years of age, a barrister by profession, was educated at Oxford University and entered Parliament first in 1886, thirty-four years ago. In 1892 he became Home Secre- tary and since that time has been one of the most prominent figures in the House of Commons. He became Prime Minister in 1908. Some people yet look to Mr. Asquith to lead a Government, but not share that view. Times are changing and Mr, Asquith’s liberalism is of an old fashioned type. He will be listened to always with respect and his views will have weight in the House, but he can hardly aspire again to leadership. we do Caretecs Spending Leads to Trouble. ; Financial and other papers are still issuing warnings and much more boldly as the days go by. These warnings against taking too many chances in business should not go unheeded. We do not look for bad times in Prince Rupert, in fact much the opposite should be the case, but if the rest of the country is in difficullies we may share them to some extent. The following is a sample of what is being written:— “Men high in the councils of Canadian finance are agreed that all portents point to an impending stringency of the money markets of this country, and they advise the public to prepare for the inevitable and seek to mitigate its most serious conse- quences. The causes for the impending pinch are partly those of world-wide extent, but predisposing factors are the orgy of extravagance in which Canadians have indulged, unjustitiaole speculation, and the over-inflation of Canada’s currency, all of them within the control of the Canadian people or their govern- ment. Business has been brisk, industries have been working overtime, wages have been high, returned soldiers have been spending their grafnifies and ip many cases refaising to work “while they had a dollar left—in short, there has been a flood’ of easy money in the Dominion. As a consequence, too many ianadians have lost all their sense of proportion and all their instincts of thrift and caution. They have been living up to or beyond their incomes. They have been buying expensive auto- mobiles, jewelry, fur and other luxuries. Allured by the seduc- tive representations of brokers, they have been withdrawing money from legitimate business enterprises in order to speculate in active stocks or invest in securities which promised large re- turns. There has been a riot of spending and a lessening of saving and of production, ar.d now the time is at hand when the cost must be counted and the bill paid. While the inevitable squeeze cannot be averted, say the experts, ils worst effects can be minimized if the people of Canada take warning in time, curb their senseless and unnecessary ex- penditures, turn their surplus funds to judicious uses, and devote their energies to the work of the nation. Security issues should be cut to the limit and restricted to the actual needs of business and industry. The market is overstocked now with paper, much of it of little real value so that reputable enterprises find it difli- cult to secure necessary funds. In the United States the last Liberty Loan, and in Canada the last Victory Loan, are still largely undigested, and it is apparent that the point of saturation has been about reached, and that the reaction cannot be long delayed. The course outlined for the private citizen should be also obligatory upon the Dominion and the Provincial Governments which should practice the same rigid economy and scrutinize every proposed expenditure as closely as doves the honest. man who finds himself overburdened with debt, The Governments have been setting the bad example of careless spending, and should now lead the way toward national retrenchment. The United States Treasury has given a lead by redeeming its floating indebtedness, and the action of the British Government in retiring some £20,000,000 in paper money is also a step in the right direc- tion. Perhaps the Dominion Government cannot at the moment follow either of these models, bui each minister can at least pare his estimates to the quick, resist the constant. importunities for unjustifiable appropriations, and so help in a measure to prepare Canada for the lean days that are coming.
