The consequence was the paper scat-

loaded from the trucks.
Gathering and baling it has beeu any-

WHY CANADA MUST BORROW
Preece& 02 Caeada'e 1041 Victory 'loan will be used for two
purposes -eta 'help enanee eanada's war effort and 'te tender 'financial
• assistance to- Great Britain. •
Hon. J. L. Ileley, '1Clinister of ,,Finance, in his recent 'budget Address
estimated that in the current ,fise'Ker year the Dominian Government
- would have to raise about one billion dollars by Way of borrowing.
102 this amount, the major portion will be for the purpcsse of
Pnaneing Britain's defitit in her balance of payments with Csertada,
• arising out of huge pureltases of supplies and munitions in Canada.
For the current fiscal' year British jilatehASee 1h Canada will
reaCh "ePeroximately $1,500,000,000. On•this (basis it is estimated that
13ritairr's 4def1cit In her balance of .payments with Canada Will total
approximately $1,160,000,000. In order that there may be no stoppage
in the shiPment of Vital supplies Which. Britain is buying tram Carieda, '
the ,Dorniniore' Government has undertaleen- to finance stich proportion ss.
, of the deficit as (Britain herself will be urmble to meet by the transfer
of old or United States dollars to Canada.' 3
"The deficit in he balanee of payments,'" 'whieli Canada has,
undertaken to finance, means" very' little to the great Majority of
Canadians, To put It simply, Great Britain has ineuffielerit Canadian
sd, ollans with whieh to pay for the supplies she wants- fret°. 'Canada and
the Dominian, Government has undertaken to provide these :eloilars.
iny buying Victory lbonds,Crinadianswill be providing aid to Great
•Britain over and above the assistance being giVen by °the 'Canadian
