Boden the First
Imperial Statesman
When Sir Robert Borden sat in
council with the British Cabinet it
was a d,elinite recognition of Canada's
new status in the Empire. Sir
Robert was the first statesman from
the Oversea; Dominion to have such
an honor conferred upon him, That
it is evident an Imperial Constitution
will be the result is indicated by this
statement made in the British Parlia-
ment by Hon. Arthur H. Steel -Mait-
land, Under-Secretary for the Col-,
onies:
"lt is intended to take the
responsible Ministers of the Col-
onies into our confidence in,re-
gard to every matter during the
war and also of matters which
may arise at the end of the war
.on the question of settlement of
peace. That is the reason why
Sit' Robert Borden was present
the other day at a meeting of the
Cabinet. When I hear objec-
tions taken by some hon. mem-
bers to that or to further devel-
opments in that direction on the
ground that the Dominions
should not be involved in the
European
war, I think it Shows a
..n
•
L
lack of :.nalysfs or of imagina-
tion. I cannot imagine the Do-
minions being further involved
in European politics than they
areat present by their.' voluntary
ciion."
To British st.ttesman and Cana-
dian statesman the Empire has added
Imperial statesman. Sir Robert Bor-
den is the first Imperial statesman
from the Oversea Dominions, He
has seen the consummation of his
prophecy and policy—Canada a part-
ner Instead of a wary of Great
Britain.

Great Financial Coup.
From every quarter Hon. W. T.
White is being congratulated on the
success of this great financial opera
tion. It' is claimed, and is justly so,
that, it is the cleverest financial coup
ever sponsored by a Canadian finance
minister, „Canada has (entered new
financial markets, secured ample
funds for all domestic purposes, re-
lieved the. London market from ally
additional burden and made certain
the successful financing of the mar-
keting of our great crop. So well
kept was the secret that Canada was
invading the Wall Street market that
the negotiations were completed and
the loan placed before even a rumour
reached the public.
Form of Flotation.
Of the Ca,.adian flotation in New
York $25,000,000 was of one-year 5
per cent. notes at par and $15,000,-

Customs' Revenue
Shows an Increase
}
July Cuetoms revenue amounted to
$7,492,621, or $431,259 more than
the corresponding period last year.
As July, 1914, was au anti -helium
month it Is evident (hat the now tariff
measures of lion. W. T. White de-
signed to cheek the decline in rev-
enue .lave been successful. So far
all comparisons have been between
months during the war this year and
those before the war last year, when
ocean transportation facilities had
not been interrupted. August returns
will afford the first comparison be-
tween mouths in this and the last fis-
cal year under t -e same conditions.
For the remaining eight months of
the present fiscal year it is expected
that a very substantial Increase in
revenue will be shown over the cor-
responding period in the last fiscal
year. Beginning in September, 1914,
the revenue declined very rapidly ow-
ing to the disruption iu transatlantic
freight due to the war, and also the
uncertainty of the business situation.
A return to normal conditions will
see an Immense increase in revenue,
and the July figu'as clearly indicate
that the import trade II being rapidly
rd -established.
The increases by Provinces during
the first three and a half years of the
present Conservative Administration

Why Placed in New York. '
The considerations which influenc-
ed the making of the new short date
issues In New York were as follows:
(1) Relief to the amount of the
loan will be given to the London
market which is the source of the
Imperial borrowings from which the
war expenditure of the Empire (in-
cluding Canada) Is financed.
(2) By borrowing in New York
rather than in London the exchange
situation, now so greatly against the
latter, will be benefited.
(3) A loan of such a large amount
effected in New York should tend to
improve exchange condi
ions between
Canada and the United States, ex- 7
change at present being strongly in
favor of the latter.
A Worthy Cause
That' Needs Money
Very generous have been the con-
tributions to the vartou., funds that
have been created to assist our sol-
diers and their dependents. To the
patriotic fund used to assist the de-
pendents of those doing service in
the Canadian army many millions
have been contributed and for a sup-
ply of machine guns the response has
been wonderful.
There is another worthy cause—
probably that most entitled to sup.
port—the Hospital Commission, pre-
sided over by Hon. Senator Long
heed. The object of till. commission
is to care for our sick and wounded
returning from service. Many public-
spirited citizens have placed -their
colxritry bores ,at the disposal of the
comrulssio'noand to these will be sent
the returned soldiers until their
health is 'fully recovered. But al-
though the Government's provision
for this work is ample, and the pen-
sions to be paid generous, there will
be many cases where further assist-
ance will be required. If the com-
mission ha at its disposal funds,
they could supplIrnent the amounts'
received by soldiers in cases where
extra aid' is required.
