It is an undertaking of such significance to every citizen that I think it fitting to present this brief explanation of its close relation to the welfare and continued progress of our country. The 1934 Loan is not an incidental effort. It is a part— and an essential part—of the great debt conversion pro- gramme in which Canada has been engaged since 1931, and y which we are refunding at maturity, the large sums borrowed for wartime purposes. The national importance of this cannot .. .______r______ aspects: 1—National Credit;'2—National Economy; 3— National Recovery. I shall deal with each of these in turn. 2. National Credit National credit means to a nation what an honest reputa tion means to a man. Its maintenance is a primary essential and necessitates that each obligation be met, fully and promptly, as it comes due. Our debt conversion programme is then, in the first instance, our method of meeting our obligations and thus maintaining our credit. By this programme Canada has already refunded $858,000,000 of maturing wartime debt, and 'completion of the 1934 Loan will bring the refunded total to over one billion dollars. As a result, Canada’s credit stands notably high, both at home and in the great money markets of the world. Striking evidence of our high credit standing was given within the last few months when Canada secured im mediate over-subscription of a long-term loan in London at a price to yield the investor less than 3^% and. in New York, obtained a one-year Loan of $50,000,000 bearing interest at 2 per cent. And there’ is equally striking evidence at the present moment in the fact that every internal issue of Dominion of Canada Bonds now outstanding is selling today at. substantially above its issue price. The twelve-year 4% Bonds of the 1933 Refunding Loan, issued at 96^, are now selling at 104 to yield approximately 3X%* 2. National Economy The debt conversion programme, in the second place, is providing substantial savings in public interest charges. The debt which we arc refunding was incurred with in terest rates at artificially high wartime peaks. Refunding is now being accomplished with interest rates throughout the world moving steadily downward toward more normal levels—an encouragingworld movement which is essential to business recovery. By refunding under these conditions Canada has already obtained a reduction of the previous interest charges amounting to more than $9,000,000 per annum, and completion of the 1934 Loan will provide a further saving of over $5,000,000 per annum. The annual saving of over $14,000,000 thus secured has a direct cash benefit to every tax-payer. This saving has much more than offset the interest charges on the debt Which has been incurred to meet the extraordinary burden of unemployment relief. It has, to a considerable extent,' offset the heavy burdens which the depression period has imposed, with respect to railway and other current require ments. It will also pave the way to tax reductions with the return to bettei* times. programme—and of the 1934 Loan as part of it— be over emphasized. It is important from three DOMINION OF CANADA 3, National Recovery f The debt conversion which Canada has achieved sinc!^ 1931, by thus maintaining national credit and securing national economy, has been a major factor in our progress toward business recovery. A year ago, preliminary to the 1933 Refunding Loa^, I took occasion to express the belief that Canada had passed the low point of depression and was definitely upoijj the road to recovery. Today, our progress toward recovery is a matter of established fact. Since the low point of February 1933, the trend of business has been proving steadily upward in an improvement so marked and So con sistently sustained that we need no longer doubt its Reality. The facts of business recovery are written beyond,.’dispute in our statistical records. The most significant; indices relate to physical volume of business, industrial production, carloadings, electric power production, employihent and prices. Here is the record in each case:, ( PERCENTAGE!

Farm Products Prices.............. ★In the case of carloadings, employment and prices,/u10 latent. figures available are those for August; in other cases, those for July, Our external trade figures are equally encouraging. During the first eight months of the present /year, exports or Canadian products increased approximately $99,000,000, ■or 32.7% over the same period last year. The correspond ing increase for imports has been slightly ufader $93,000,000, or 38.2%. A Further Step Anyone who reflects upon these three Aspects of credit, economy and recovery will at once appreciate that the debt conversion programme is vitally important to every. Canadian and that, consequently, theJ3uccess of the 1934 Loan is the personal concern of every 'man and woman in the Dominion. The 1934 Loan is a further step in a fereat national under taking; its success means a further ^.ep on the road to recovery. I know that I need not stfrjas the attractiveness of (.he Loan as the soundest possible investment, for that will be universally recognized. I do however, earnestly call upon my fellow Canadians to sjjpport this Loan to the limit of their abilities as an opportunity to Promote our national welfare, individual citizen can and to his country jes as an opportunity to promote I know of n(> way in which the render greater service to himself prime Minister of Canada 1934 REFUNDING LOAN Is. ........... f
