Says:
Canada in 1923 had a daily

$48,870,200 --lar other words—
Canada took froni the national

burned it up: This amount does'
not include forest fire losses; it
is made up of materials produc-
ed from the natural resources of
Canada and of goods paid for
by the earnings of Canadian`
.labor, Thereis absolutely no re
turn for the amount, and only
new construction and new manu-
factures `can take its place. An
unfortunate phase of the fire
loss last year was the largely,
increased proportion of farm
fires. The premiums paid to in-
surance companies last year on
this class of risk do not suffice
to pay the losses, the actual loss
being•. 127.76 per`, cent, Residen-
