PROSPERITY,
the
forms of development,
Remember this —- there is plenty
of money available. The last time I
checked the figures, public deposits in
Canadian banks totalled $2,400,000,-
000. The problem is. to put this mon
ey and the vast volume of available
credit into effective use. Sometimes
I have been asked if it was not poss
ible to force this money into use., The
answer must be that it cannot be forc
ed1 into use —- prospect of profiles the
only thing which will bring it forth.
If there is no profit then in all prob
ability there is a loss. Losses can
not be continued indefinitely without
collapse, Losses will not enable the
producer to maintain plant and equip
ment. The task of the nation — not
government alone — but the people
of the nation — is to seek the condi
tions which will restore confidence —
improve farm, conditions and make in
dustry once more prosperous. And if
you think that is an easy problem put
your mind to it and tell the world
what ought to be done.”

R. J. Deachman arrived in town last
week after the close of the Session,
and we asked him two questions that
we thought were pretty good — even
if. they did come from us.
“\yhcn is prosperity coming? Is it
•here now — or just around the corn
er?” That seemed like a mouthful—
it really was one question. Here is
the answer — a rather frank one at
that. — just as we got it down*.
"Prosperity,” said R. J. “is rather
difficult to define. There arc plenty
of ways of measuring it. We some
times take 1926 as the basic year and j
measure all other years against it. | 100 units of manufactured goods. In
When you do that it is not so good.
We are still sharply below the 1926
level — if, however, we taken 1933 as
the bottom of the depression, we have
climbed a long way. In 1926 we nev
er dreamed of flying as high as we
-did in 1929, nor did we think it pos
sible that conditions would slump .to
the 1933 level. On the other hand the
pessimists never thought that six
years later we would rise to present
heights of relative prosperity.
But let us try a rough measurement.
Here are the figures of national in
come for four years. I mean, by na-
1!
tional income, the combined income
•of all Canadians. When you look at
these figures do not accept them as
precisely definite and accurate. That
would be impossible. They are esti
mates - careful estimates but subject
to a margin of error,
1926 ...........$ 5,822,000,000
1929 .............. 6,312,000,000
1933 .......r.... 3,793,000,000
1938 .............. 4,402,000,000
“But even this does not tell all
story. The figures are in dollars. A
dollar today buys more than it did in
1926 or 1929, On that basis the figure
of 1926 and 1929 is too high if meas
ured in goods — 1933 is not quite so
bad as it appears — the real facts are
not available but a boom is never
good as it feels nor is a depression
bad as it is painted.”
“Hold one moment,” we said.
“What about the farmer — he
the gentleman we are interested in.
Where does he stand at the moment?”
“It is this way,” said Mr. Deach
man. "Conditions were good between
1926 and 1929 because the lationsliip
of farm prices to all other commodit
ies was on an equitable basis — that
it — a farmer traded 100 units of farm
products and got back 100 units of
manufactured good.
What has happened since? This can
be put very clearly in a brief state
ment. I mentioned that in 1926 —
1100 units of farm products brought
100 units of manufactured goods. In

1933 is, required 144 units of farm pro
ducts to buy the same quantity and
in April 1939 — 112. It is the 12Va
variation we are after — there is the
problem. This year, taking the price
of all farm animals and animal pro
ducts over Canada and the price level
is just the same as last, year — but
grain prices due to world conditions
are sharply lower.”
“What exactly is the object of the
Mortgage Bank?”
“Clearly the situation is this: With
the establishment of the Central Bank,
the Bank of Canada, and the develop
ment of its easy money policy, inter
est rates come down. That is govern
ments, municipalities and large cor
porations borrowed for less. Our na
tional debt is over $600,000,000, more
than in 1923, but the interest charge
is almost exactly the same. In other
words - carrying charges are no high
er. The. Dominion Government has
substantial sums borrowed at less
than 1% per annum. ' But this low
rate does not permeate to the men
who borrow on mortgages. Of course
the ordinary citizen could not borrow
at that price but the Mortgage Bank
is a move to bring down interest rat
es and thus make a further step in the
encouragement of building and other

MOTORISTS KNOW
THAT SIGN MEANS
MONEY SAVED!
After over two and one-half hours
of baseball in the Hanover park last
Wednesday the Wingham Hurons had
chalked up their fifth consecutive vic
tory of the current Bruce League sea
son. As a matter of fact the Tribe
had won the-game as soon as the first
ball was patched as-the Red Sox had
several players without cards on the
field. The final score was 14-9 and
again the Hurons showed the happy
faculty of scoring runs in bunches,
jumping off to six runs in the first
inning to kind of take the starch but
of the opposition. The closest
Grey Countymen ever got was the
short end of an 8-5 score. A
crowd witnessed the game.
The game, proved one of injuries to
the Tribe, Somers, McCammon and
Smith all falling prey. The former
two were forced to retire with ankle
strains, but Smith who was scratched
a bit with some spikes, carried brave
ly on and on. Nothing can stop a
Smith, except another Smith -or the
street lights.
The Hurons played much better
ball than they did in the Chesley
game, affording Bob Chalmers pretty
fair support for his third win of the
season. Probably the best play was a
great catch by Malcolm McCammon
in the first inning. Bill Lediet show
ed a return of his, old hitting power
with four safe blows. Bill looked more
at ease at the plate than he has for
years. Bing Miller also cracked the
apple with rare-abandon, driving home
seven mates ahead of him, although
only being credited with two official
ly.
Verne DeBrusk, a Kitchener pro
duct- and a first-baseman by' trade,
started on the mound for Hanover but
•his left-handed slants proved ’ little
mystery to the predominately right-
handed Tribe. After 1% innings Pin
Thompson finished the game with but
little more success. DeBrusk did dis
tinguish himself with the willow how
ever with three hits, including a triple
and a homer. The former was a little
tainted, Somers getting tangled up in
some wire on it, but the last blow was
a genuine wallop in any game.
The scoring being so numerous and
complicated we will not go into detail.
After scoring six in the first, the Hur
ons added two more in the second
and finished off with three apiece in
the sixth and seventh. Hanover scor
ed three runs in the fourth and two
apiece in each of the second, seventh
and ninth. Again quite a large num
ber followed the locals away and this
is appreciated by the boys.

CENTRAL CLUB
LOST TO HANOVER
Hanover Win Will Not Count as they
Played Two Men Who Played
In Bruce League
Darkness descended on the Central
League game between Hanover and
the local club on Thursday evening,
cutting the game to Six innings. Han
over were leading 4-2 when the umps
decided it was too dark for further
play.' The game did not- get under
way until after 6.30 although billed
for 5.30. One car-load of the visitors
was late in arriving. We believe it
would be to the local club’s advant
age to make all these games twilight
games starting at about 6.15.
Fraser was on the mound for the
local club and he had plenty of zip
on the ball. McDonald who pitched
for Hanover and Wickman who play
ed centre field, should not have been
used as they played for the Hanover
Bruce League team. Fraser was nick
ed' for two hits and MacDonald four.
There was just a handful of spectat
ors which is very disappointingTo the
officials of the club and the players.
The first inning was scoreless but
’Hanover took the lead in the,second
with three. The locals got one in the
third. In the fifth they eadh took “one
to end the scoring.

troit ch.t.b, the Service Plating Co. 3-0
at the Municipal Stadium here. Of
course the Yankees aren't hitting as
hard as they were which accounts for
the difference in, the score.
All jokes aside-,. it was a pretty fair
ball game the local fans witnessed.
The Visitors showed several very
good players, especial'l-y Liernan and
Sikora, 2nd and 3rd basemen respect
ively. It was one of the best and fast
est games played here in some time
and it’s a pity there weren’t more on
hand to witness it. was considerably
better than the average Bruce League
game, so far this season.
Bob Bridgeford made his first start
for the local cl-ub and turned in a fine
exhibition of pitching, holding a gang
of good hitters to five scattered hits
and striking out ten men. Bob mixed
a fast ball'with a change of pace very
effectively and should be a real help
to the Indians this year. Bill Lediet
kept up his good hitting of late with
a perfect day at the plate, getting
three for three. Smith nailed a pair
of hits while Liernan and Gina did
likewise for Detroit.
’ The visitors used three pitchers',
two of whom, Luty and Rundy, gave
the Indians plenty of trouble. The
Hurons nicked the third one, Kasmos,
for a single run in the fourth and two
in the filth, before he was lifted, but
the damage had been done. It is baxe-
ly possible that these teams will meet
again later and local fans should be
sure not to miss it if they do.
