Granaries and elevators are crowded to the last bin with food that
nobody wants to buy. Storehouses are full of machinery, that no
one requires. Wholesale houses are banged full of cotton and silks
and woollens 'that nobody needs. (Jewelry and tools and canned
goods and millinery and cutlery clutter up the shelves of ware
houses and of retail stores. Governments are doing their utmost
in the way of the construction of public works, And Still the slo
gan “Produce* Troduce!” calls, louder and more loudly still, for
that is the meaning of the cry, “Relieve unemployment!” Where
this puzzling and alarming condition is to end no one knows. The
sooner all interested realize that the present way of doing things is
not adequate for the relief of the distress that grows more menae-
' ing with every passing minute, the -better for all concerned. Like
Israel at the Red Sea, men will do well to “stand still and see the
salvation of the Lord.” The man who has a better solution for oul*
present problem will do well to give us his suggestion.

a certain village,
structure consisted of heavy wooden timbers, one bent of which was
particularly heavy and difficult to get into position. The men had
lifted and strained to their utmost and still the timbers were not
• in place. At length the boss shouted the men into silence, secur
ed, the bent against falling, had the men rest and refresh them
selves, got into his place of command, had each man situated where
he could lift his effective utmost, called out “Steady all” and urged
each man to do his best. 1 As if by magic the work was done.
So it is with Canadian voters at this moment in their work of
nation building. For some reason difficult to determine, there has
come a pause in our national progress. To attempt to remain as
we are is to invite retrogression and disaster. To' rashly plunge
from one allegiance to another is to leap from the frying pan into
the fire. To continue the 'game of “Follow your leader” is to pour
oil on our burning national welfare.
What is needed in our present election quite as much as any
time in our national history is. the sending of men to parliament
of proven business ability, of initiative in national affairs, men who
can take the present occasion by the hand and beckon successfully
to better days and to better conditions. We have’ had echo aplenty.
For Canadian voters to fail at this election is. to put.the kibosh on
prosperity. For .them to select the right sort of. men to manager
their public affairs is to bring to Canada unexampled prestige and •'
prosperity. A mighty critical hour' has struck for this Dominion
Reiterating dead cries and threshing the vacant chaff of bygone
public issues never will solve problems that effect every home in our great country.
