Many small businesses order stock about three months in advance and pay with money borrowed from the bank about 30 days after delivery. However, the interest rate paid on the L. .

By following the former Liberal govern- ment's policy of raising interest rates as a matter of form, the new Conservative ad- ministration has shown a comparable dis- regard for it* welfare of our small business sector. The irony of this interest rate policy Is that it penalizes those who are doing the most to alleviate one of our major problems — un- employment.
