It is Sir Thomas’ fine gift to make beautifully clear what he wants to make clear and to leave beautifully clouded what he would rather not mention, as for jin- stance the fact that we have bor- rowed one hundred and fifty mil- lion dollars from England since the war began, There was also his juggling with the fact that the net national debt at the end of 1916 will ‘be $580,000,000 whereas the real debt is more like a billion. ’ However, as Mr. Kip- ling would say, that is another story. The point he did make, talking rapidly the while so that "!the quickness of the hand should deceive the eye, was that the ac- cumulations of wealth in Canada “but you'll understand that this is only for the period of the war.

What he meant no doubt was that the ac- cumulations of wealth wene not generally distributed and that the few hands that held them object- ed to loosening up.
