has already discounted the paper at
the Donttnion Treasury. Meanwhile
the "protected" home market pays the
top price—a stiffer price than Europe
pays—for the leavings after the ex-
port trade is satisfied. This explains
why a country of eight million people
like Canada pays raore for meat than
a court* of forty-four inillion people
like Great Britain although Canada
has only a million less cattle to draw
on for its Much smaller population.
One would almost expect these cattle
to come begging to be eaten at any
price but Flavelle takes care that that
does not happen.
These • "credits" are the weirdest
kind of finance, particularly when you
consider that they must be paid—if
they ever are paid—in goods which
are fined 35 per tent. for entering
this country. So long as Flavelle arid
his crowd get this sort of help from
the Government the consumer will find
that the only way to reduce the high
cost of living is to consume himself.

willing to commit themselves to a

that the praject will be even more-

this cost has not to be borne entirely
by the sections interested. For the

by the speakers that wherever these

good results.—The Rev. Mr. Carswell,
