V .f' Bring the Bojs and Girls Back Home! v How often have we all deplored the fact that thousands upon thousands of our most promising young men and women find it necessary to leave Canada, in order to seek in some other country opportunities for the employment of their talents that seem to be lacking here? As individuals we have deplored it, because in these canes (he sorrow that is caused us through the breaking of family circlet and home ties is accentuated by a sense of irrevocable loss, due to a feeling that the separation is going to be permanent. And from a broad national stand' point we have deplored it, because it has meant a serious drain upon the very kind of population gifted, energetic, ambitious that w most need to help in developing our magnificent natural resources. Must we continue to rear and educate our children to equip them as best we can for the successful careers we hope will be theirs onhf to lose them to an alien flag because of the dearth of opportunitykjor them at home? v r Opportunity of any kind is a result, of which production of some kind is always the cause. Most people create their opportunity by engaging directly in some form bf production, such as farming, fishing, mining, lumbering or manufacturing. These people provide the foundation and, according as they succeed, opportunity is created for others in all the occupation that constitute the super-structure, such as transportation, banking, insurance, trading, the professions and public service. The more the people of a country favor their own producers, thus giving the latter all the incentive necessary to increase the volume and broaden the scope of their production, the more abundant will be the immediate opportunities they create for themselves, and the future opportunities they create for their children. If in the past opportunity has not been as abundant in Canada as it has been elsewhere, it is because Canadian producers as a class have not been as successful as producers ehowhtre have been. And the chief reason our producers have been less succenful is because they have failed to receive from Canadian cititens generally the same loyal support that the producers in certain other countries have received from their citizens. Some of these countries import practically nothing that they are capable of producing for themselves. But we Canadians are so careless about our daily buying, so thoughtless of the welfare ot our producers, so shortsighted about keeping the door of opportunity open for our sons and daughters, that every working day we allow ourselves to be sold about $2, 500,000 worth of imported merchandise that our own producers would have been glad to make for us, if we had only given them the chancel Why not let us all resolve that from hoWon we'll tfy tiS brrn73ptfbays and girls back home by remembering, in our buying, that ii must always be "Canada First"! t.
