The expense of trans- porting our Army overseas was spread over more than four years. Consequently the cost of it did not bulk so large in any one year’s budget. But to bring home ina few months hundreds of thousands of men spread from England, France and Flanders, Italy, Egypt, Palestine to far-off Siberia, was a gigantic and expensive task. It taxed all my resources.

Citizens: Will you explain simply this idea of credit, and why it is so aecessary that we should give it? Miss Canada: Farmers and manufac- turers (and that includes the workers on these orders) must be paid cash for their products. Therefore | must borrow money from to give credit, temporarily, to Great ritain and our Allies. Actually, no money will. pass out of Canada. If you do not nt this credit, other countries will; they will get the trade, and have the employment that should be yours, to distribute amongst their workers. And remember, you absolutely need these orders to maintain employment. If you don’t finance them, em.ployment will not be as plentiful, business will feel the depression and conditions everywhere will be adversely affected.
