Vi OTTAWA, CANADA Bring the Boys and Girls Back Home"! How often have we all deplored the fact that thoutandt upon thouuinds of our most promising youn men and women find it necessary to leave Canada, in order to asek 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 the sorrow that is caused us through the- breaking of family circles and home ties is accentuated by a sense of irrevocable loss, due to a feeling that tha 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 tha very Kind of population gifted, energetic, ambitious that we most need to help In developing our magnificent natural resources: Must we continue to rear and educate our children to equip them aa best we can for the successful careers we hope will b theirs only to lose them to an alien flag because of the .dearth of opportunity for them at home? Opportunity of anv kind is a result, of which production of some kind is always the cause. Most people creatn their opportunity by engaging directly in some form of production, auch 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 occupations that constitute the superstructure, such as transportation banking, insurance, trading', the professions and public service. ' The morn the people of a country favor their own producers, thus giving ihe 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 it is because Canadian elsewhere, producers as a class have not been as successful as producers elsewhere have been. And the chief reason our producers have been less successful is- because they have failed to receive from Canadian citizens generally the same loyal support that the producers in certain other countries have received from their citiiens. 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 of 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 now on we'll try to bring our boys and'girls back home by remembering, in our buying, that it must always ' be "Canada First" ' ' Very sincerely yours, 17- Minister of Trade and Commerce. 11
