Tire advances commenced early last winter, and were made necessary by the extreme misfortune which Vestern Canada suffered from the tirougbt in 1914. It was hoped at the Lime that the amount required would not be unduly large, as the outbreak of war was making extraordinary de- mands upon the financial resources of the Dominion. The amount has, how- ever, reached very large limits. There bee been advanced up to July 31 for seed grain $8,534,018.37, and for other goods by way of relief and fod- der for animals $4,075,420,89, mak- of $12,609,439.21. As- ing a total Total Alxlount Paid for o Western Relief Is Nearly s Thirteen Million Dollars. res 96 for other relief (in cases where both relief and seed grain and fodder have been provided) these will not be in sisted on this year. Where, kowever,. no seed grain or fodder has been pro- seded. but relief only, one half of the amount advanced for relief will be 1 expected to be returned. It must be remembered that this seed grain, fodder, and relief distri- ° button has been a most extensive and far spread undertaking, A demote and consistent system of collec tibt must be adopted, It is not an easy matter to work out such a system, without entailing too great expense i of organization, Consequently, the purchasers of grain bave been asked to co-operate in the matter of eoilec- tions. In this way the organization at their disposal is used and the ne- eessity for heavy expenditure on tbe part of the Government avoided, The Minister confidently hopes that all who have received assistanee and the people of the West generally, will accept the policy of the reduced amount to be collected this year as fair and equitable, and that all will co-operate and lend their assistance to work out successfully. Financing Crop. Aside from the question of ocean tonnage and exchange there should be no difficulty in moving tbe Cana- dian crop, although it may take longer than usual, Certainly there should be no dimeulty in financing the movement. The banks are more Iiquid than they bave been for years. In addition they have as a reserve their emergency circulation and the facilities afforded under the Finance Act of 1914.by which they can ob- tain advances in Dominion notes against grain bills and other securi- ties. So far as concerns credits to farmers, two recent amendments to the Bank Act introduced by Hon. W. T. Vhite, are important. Under one a may take security upon grain re ening in the farmers' possession, and under the other the bank may take security upon a crop for seed grain advances. The financial legis- lation of the Dominion seems to have "provided all possible facilities for the financing of the crop movement, HON. DR. ROCHE, Minister of Interior. Sketch by McConnell.. sistance was given, of course, by rea- son of a temporary misfortune, and was, of course, of a temporary nature. Fortunately the Government was not called upon to lend its aid except in the Provinces of Alberta and Saskat- chewan. These are the Provinces that suffered most. It has been a matter for congratul- ation that the policy adopted has been justified not only by the neces- sities of the time, but by subsequent events. This year's crop, particularly in the drought -stricken district, is the best in the history of Western Canada. The bulk of the seed grain was purchased by the Government at a comparatively moderate price, and the farmers Sot it" at the price the Government paid.for..it plus expense of handling. A'great"many demands came in very late, and as these were found on investigation to be for the most part deserving, some grain had to be bought at the advanced price that prevailed in the spring. But in - the main the Government was fortun- ate in,making its purchases early. For many months it looked as if an excellent price was to await the marketing of the 1915 crop. This, however, does not now seem so prob- able. The large acreage in other countries, and particularly the eacep - tionally good crop prospects in the United States, with the depressed condition of exchange and shortage of ocean tonnage have had the effect of greatly reducing the quotations for. wheat, barley, and oats. The Minister. of the Interior bas had this•consider ation under review, and it has also: been that impressed upon him p p this year the Western farmers have a.„, great many of last year's obligations still to take care of -last year's in- terest on mortgages, and in many cases' indebtedness,to,. local merch- ants. As `a consequence even with the present excellent; crop conditions it will not be he every` case an easy' matter to finance unusual obligations this year. Having regard.to and ,haw Dag fully Considered' all the.circuin stances' now prevailing, the; Minister his 'decided to ask for payment ttii`s year of one -halt, only of the seed grain and fodder advances together. pith interest. AS for the advances' PREMIER BORDEN BRINGS MESSAGE FROM SOLDIERS At the great welcome aecorded Sir Robert Borden in Montreal on his return from England, he gave to the people of Canada a message from our gallant soldiers at the front. "Even. greater than this," said the Premier, "was my privilege of visit- ing the convalescent hospitals. There I met our gallant men who had come back from the very valley of the shadow of death. They had gone through as trying ordeals as have ever been recorded in the history of the world, but I found thein all cheerful, and all inspired with the same courageous determination' as those others still at the front. It was an inspiration to me, and I felt, when I addressed a thousand convalescent Canadians that it was the noblest audience I had ever faced. Altogether I visited 41 hospitals where Cana- dians were, and at these I met men from all parts of the Empire who had fought in France, Belgium, and the Dardanelles—the men who won fame at Ypres, Festurbert, and Givenchy. They were from many lands, but they were all comrades, who had fought and would fight again for the same cause. It wee a spectacle that gave to me a truer sense of the unity of our. Empire than I had' ever had be- fore, and I come back to you now with a clear message of Empire from them. . "I bring from' the front this 'mesl sage from our soldiers: that they have done their duty in the past, are prepared to do it in the future, and that no eonclusion of the war will be satisfactory unless it brings to the Empire,* for all the sacrifices they, have made, the satisfaction of attain- ing tbe object fought for. - Any nation that undertakes to establish the doctrines of spoiiation shall go. down beneath the might and con- tempt of the world." MANY CONVALESCENT HOMES ARE OFFERED The following •: private homes, 'out of the large numier which have been offered, have been accepted as mili- tary convalescent homes, and are in operation or will be in a few tidays:: The home of 'Mrs. ` J.
