At a Premum—.
Where Was It In`.1921
Proof of Canada's triumph over
adverse conditions is shown by the
fact that she is able and strong
financially and that,' in recent months,
the Canadian dollar has stood at a
premium, compared with the proud
American dollar. Here are the figures
for the last five years:—
Canadian American "
Money Money
1920—$.1.00 equalled only $ .79
1921— 1.00 equalled only .89
1922— 1.00 equalled only .984
1923— 1.00 equalled only .98
1924— 1.00 equalled only .99
1925- 1.00 equalled 1.00
Canadian money has steadily in-,
creased in purchasing power, com-
pared to American money in the last
five years and, during the present
year, it has stood at par and some-
times even at a slight premium, the
Canadian dollar being quoted at a
fraction more than" the American.
Compare this with the low point in
November, -1920, when it took $1.21.
to equal the American dollar.

Canada is now receiving greatly
improved terms when she enters, the
money .market of the world to float
her Loans. Her 51/2% Bonds, pay-
able in 1934, were bringing .. only
$90,00` in 1921. These Bonds are eag-
erly sought now at $104.00,
As the Rt. Hon. W. L. Mackenzie
King, Premier of Canada, pointed out
during the Budget Debate: /
"In October, 1920, Canada
floated a Twenty -Year Loan
for $25,000,000.00, The issue
sold for $96.20, with Inter-
est at 7%..
"In December of the same
year, another Loan of a simi-
lar amount was fjoated at
$94,05, with Interest at 7%,
"In February of last year,
"Canada floated. a Thirty-
Year Loan for $50,000,000,00.
The issue sold . for $97.81,
with Interest at 5%.

We are now nearly at the end of
the financial struggle,' Faith and

courage will win .through the diffi-
culties that have followed the War
. and which are now ,clearing away.
Let us be as optimistic as before and
take stock of our blessings.
As Honourable Mr Lapointe re-
marked, in the House' of • Commons
flay the game,' Do not

There : are many reasohs why we

"Take the situation with
regard to operating results,"
said Mr." King. "For the cal-
endar year of 1920, the oper-
ating results showed a deficit Remus
of $32,000,000.00. The next
year, there was a deficit of
$11,000,000.00; while, in 1922,
the operations showed, for
the first • time, a surplus of '
$4,000,000,00. In 1923, the
surplus had reached $21,000,-
000.00,
21,000;000.00, while, in 1924, it was
.$17,000,000.00. Let us take,
now, the total deficits after
fixed charges have been ,paid
,on the Railways. During the
calendar year of 1920, they
amounted to $74,000,000.00;
in 1921, they amounted to
$72,000;0 0.00 odd.: In 1922,:
p
the total was $58,000,000.00;
in 1923, $52,000,000,00; and,
in 1924, it was $54,000,000.00.
In other words, these deficits'•.
were brought from the seven-
ties down into the fifties."

In 1913, Canada's total foreign

combined,: for the first time, in: hes
history, exceeded one billion dollars.
In the year ended Julylaste t was

Canada is a good country in which
to live. Canada's savings per head of
population rank among the highest .
in the world and her wealth. is well
diffused *along her people. Life in-
surance in Canada, for example, in
Canadian companies,' has increased
from $2,935,000,000,00 in 1921 to
$3,764,000,000.00 in 1.,924 or," by the
huge volume of $329,000,000.00 ' in
three years!., Canadians, per capita,
stand among the, very best :insured
