CANADIANS are still enjoying • the world's second
highest standard, of living.
They can dothis because of ` the .'contribution of
manufacturing to our national progress and prosperity.
Perhaps Canadians can buy some : things cheaper'

to pay.Canadian prices for'Canadian Products, our own•
workers will not for long be able to receive Canadian

grammes.

the Canadian Standard of living.'.'
