A FURTHER STEP on the Road to Recovery A Statement by the'Prime Minister of Canada THE Dominion of Canada will offer for public sub- scriptionwithin the next few days the 1934 Refunding Loan. It is an undertaking of such significance to every citizen that I think it fittmg to present this brief explanation of its close relation to the welfare and continued progress of our country. The 1934 Loan is not an incidental effort. It is a port- end an essential part -of the great debt conversion pro- gramme in which Canada has been engaged since 1931, and by which we are refunding at maturity the large sums borrowed for wartime purposes. The national importance of this programme -and of the 1934 Loan as part of it - cannot be over emphasized. It is important from three aspects; 1 -National Credit; 2 -National Economy; 3 - National Recovery. I shall deal with each of these in turn. I. National Credit National credit means to a nation what an honest reputa- tion means to a man. Its maintenance is a primary essential and necessitates that each obligation be met, fully and promptly, as it comes due. Our debt conversion programme is then, in the first instance, our method of meeting our obligations and thus maintaining our credit. By this programme Canada has already refunded $858,000,000 of maturing wartime debt, and completion of the 1934 Loan will bring the refunded total to over one billion dollars. As a result, Canada's credit stands notably high', both at home and in the great money markets of the world. Striking evidence of our high credit standing was given within the last few months when Canada secured im- mediate over -subscription of a long -terra loan in London at a price to yield the investor less than 3e4% and, in New York, obtained a one-year Loan of $50,000,000 bearing interest at 2 per cent. And there is equally striking evidence at the present moment in the fact that every internal issue of Dominion of Canada Bonds now outstanding is selling today at substantially above its issue price. The twelve-year 4% Bonds of the 1933 Refunding Loan, issued at 9634, are now selling at 104 to yield approximately 334%. 2. National Economy„ The debt conversion programme, in the second place, is providing substantial savings in public interest charges. The debt which we are refunding was incurred with in- terest rates at artificially high wartime peaks. Refunding is *ow being accomplished with interest rates throughout the world moving steadily downward toward more normal levels -an encouraging world movement which is essential to business recovery. By refunding tinder these conditions Canada has already obtained a reduction of the previous interest charges amounting to more than $9,000,000 per annum, and completion of the 1934 Loan will provide a further saving of over $5,000,000 per annum. The annual saving of over $14,000,000 thus secured has a direct cash benefit to every tax -payer. This saving has much more than offset the interest charges on the debt which has been incurred to meet the extraordinary burden of unemployment relief. It has, to a considerable extent, offset the heavy burdens which the depression perio& has imposed with respect to railway and other current, require - meas. It will also pave the way to tax reductions with the return to better times. 3. National Recovery The debt conversion which Canada has achieved since 1931, by thus maintaining national credit and securing national economy, has been a major factor in our progress toward business recovery. A year ago, preliminary to -the 1933 Refunding Loan, I took occasion to express the belief that Canada had passed the low point of depression and was defmitely upon the road to recovery. Today, our progress toward recovery is a matter of established fact. Since the low point of February 1933, the trend of business has beee moving steadily upward in an improvement so marked and so con- sistently sustainedthat we needno longer doubt its reality. The facts of business recovery are written beyond dispute in our statistical records. The most significant indices relate to physical volume of business, industrial production, carloadings, electric power production, employment and prices. Here is the record in each case: PERCENTAGE INCREASE Since Low Point During of Depression Past Year* February 1933 Physical volume of business., 13.8% 42 8% Industrial Production„ 15.7% 56. 9% Carloadings. 10.3% 29.4% Electric Power Production, 12.4% 32. 7% Employment 14. 7% 17, 1% Wholesale Prices 4.0% 13.7% Farm Products Prices. , . ... 7.7% 43.3% *In the case of carloadings, employment and prices, the latest Citrates available are those for August; an other cases, those for July. Our external trade figures are equally encouraging, During the first eight months of the present year, exports of Canadian products increased approximately $99,000,000, or 32.7% over the same period last year. The correspond- ing increase for imports has been slightly under $93,000,000, or 38.2%. A Further Step Anyone who reflects upon these three aspects of credit, economy and recovery will at once appreciate that the debt conversion program me is vitally important to every Canadian and that, consequently, the success of the 1934 Loan is the personal concern of every scan and woman in the Dominion. The 1934 Loan is a further step in a great national under- taking; its success means a further stop on the road to recovery. I know that I need not stress the attr et' en of the Loan as the soundest possible investment, for that will be universally recognieed. I do, however, earnestly call upon my fellow Canadians to support this Loan to the limit of their abilities as an opportunity to promote our national welfare. I know of to way.na which the individual citizen one render greato service to himself and to his country, PE1M1 MINISTER. Or CANADA DOMINION or CANADA 1934 REFUNDING LOAN AMY
