Greece, Rou- mania, and Belgium have been supplied with foodstuffs, clothing, and im- plements through a a loan of seventy-five million dollars made by the | Canadian Government to the Governments of these countries. Sir Henry Drayton says that further credits will have to be made to finance the export of our natural products. The loans will be repaid in time,and such portions of them as are not promptly liquidated by the importation of British and continental European goods into Canada will remain to the credit of the Canadian people as an investment of capital on w hich interest will ne drawn, It is gaod to have considerable ttivectments abroad instead of remaining as Canada was before the war alost exclusively a debtor nations In pre-war days, for example, the British people had almost three billion dollars invested in Canada. They owned hus. blocks of national, Provincial, and municipal securities. They held the bulk of the bonds and stock of our raik ways. They had much money in Western lands and in Eastern manw facturing enterprises. Large blocks of bank capital were British, It re- quired the export of about a hundre:! and fifty million dollars’ worth of : Canadian products yearly to pay even the interest on this great investment. That fact indicates why Canadian ¢: ports to Great Britain were greater than Canada’s imports from Great Briioin They had to be about a hundred and fifty million greater if we were not to kec Pp going more deeply into debt year by year through the reinvestmen! of British money in Canada. During the war-the British people sold or put in pledge large amounts of Canadian securities not less probally than half a billion dellars’ worth— and Canadians have been buying these so uritics by means of a large surplus of exports. It is anticipated that after all the war accounts are balanced Canada will have reduced her debt to Urilish capital by at least half a billion dollars, and that hereafter she will have to export (wenty-five million dollars’ worth less of her products thon in pre-war yeers to pay her annual interest “Shamrock” Brand Products Shamrock Laré Tne finest sold Shamrock Hamg and Bacon Unequalled for sweetness re and flavor Shame.

But when we get down to concrete cases instead of dealing in the mass the debt burden of two billions dees not look so hopelessly large. The interest amounts to about $15 per year per head. Every shop girl or domestic or workingman who has been able to buy. three hundred dollars’ worth of Victory bonds—and their numbers run up into hundreds of thousands— will get annually in intereet from the Government a little more than enough to pay his or her share of the taxation due to war debt. In other words, their savings cancel their share of the debt Had the country tried to finance its war expenditure by foreign instead of internal loans—supposing that to have been posstble the condition of Canada would have been vastly more serious to-day. Our debt to external creditors would have been over four and a half billion doliars, and to pay the interest-at the current rate would have involved the export of about two hundredand=thirty million dollars’ worth of Canadian products yearly without any corresponding imports. The effect upon the manufacturers and merchants of Ganada of such a drain would have been almost ruinous, for the people of the Dominion would have their buying capacity very seriously reduced by the export of their products to pay interest on the ex- ternal debt. It is therefore of great importance that the Canadian people as a whole should owe some of the Canadian people the bulk of the money spent in prosecuting the war. The interest is spent in the country, and benefits in the spending all classes of the community—the debtor as well as the creditor. If the argument here presented is a sound one, then it follows that to the very limit of our capacity we should continue to buy Victory Bonds. The new issue will have to yield at least four hundred million dollars to enable the National Treasury to discharge its obligations during the curreat financial year. Victory Bonds are an excellent investment, but they are more than that. They are a sign that Canadians have faith in their country, in its vast resources, in the stability of its Government, in the will and the pawer of the people to build up and maintain a civilization which will stand the greatest stress that can be brought to bear upon the foundations whereon the Dominion has been reared ‘is built of steel and is of 9,600 — j}tons.

William Thomas Turner, commander of the Lusitania when she was torpedoed, has retired. He is 62 years of age and went to sea at the age of 13. He joined the Cunard company in 1878 and became a master in 1903, his first ship being the Aleppo. been in command of many large Atlantic steamers. On the Maure- tania he made the record for speed between Liverpool and New York. Two of his ships were torpedoed during the war, first the Lusitania in 1915 and the Ivernia, in the Mediterranean, in 1917. In #918 Captain Turner received the decoration of the fourth class of the Order of the British Em- pire. He is becoming an old man and the rigor and especially the excitement of the war period is said to have told on his nerves and health. Mr. Lougheed of the Prince Ru- pert Spruce Mills, Ltd., addressed the Board of Trade brietly at the meeting Friday night. He said he was really only a visitor here and he did not yet know whether his finm would continue to operate the mill another season. He was, however, enthused with the pros- peets of this north country. This province was just as rich as the three rich states to the south. The wealth in mines and tim- ber was very great. Mr. Lougheed said he was glad to see a live Board of Trade as in- dicated by the large meeting and the business covered. ———$— = (IVE BEEN WORKING LIKE A SLAVE ALL MY LIFE BET MY SON WILL IGRAPLATE FROM COLLEGE PREITY SOON - THEN | SHOLLD WORRY een ANK GOODNESS We WONT LasT MUCH LONGER- suse ing SCON AS THE \S OuT OF COLLEGE 1 CAN TAKE NN INE ALWAYS" wie.
