Letter From THE PRICE OF GOOD LIVING CANADIANS are still enjoying the world's second highest standard of living. They can do this because of the contribution of manufacturing to our national progresms and prosperity. Perhaps Canadians canbuy some things cheaper elsewhere than in Canada. But if they are not willing to pay Canadian prices for Canadian products, our own workers will not for long be able to receive Canadian wages. Nor will Canadian governments receive the tax revenues they require to sustain Canada's wel- fare programmes. There is a price to pay for everything, including the Canadian standard of living.
