Some politicians are still harping
on the alleged fact that in the United
States the Canadian dollar '!will not
purchase as much its formerly, be-
cause the Americans will not take it
except at a discount. It stay be, of
course, that they misstate the case in
this way in ignorance, but some must

know better, It is quite in order to
urge the public to buy at house, but it
is poor business even from the stand-
point of selfish interest to circulate
statements -calculated to base the
charge of trade by cultivating the belief
that the other fellow is trying to skin
them. The American business man is
in business to stake a profit, just as we
are, His best market is Canada, and as
he is not a fool it dos not stand to reas
on that he would jeopardize business
relations with his best customer by de-
Eliberate sharp practise.

, If Great Britain had a large sur-
plus of farmers and farm hands,
Canada might not have to invite im=
atigrants from any other source, But
Great Britain is not so much an
agricultural as a merchant and
manufacturing centre,
and and

her Colonies for the Dominions. She

many al other'
countries from which Canada in the
past has drawn excellent settlers:
This is Illustrated by the homestead
entries. From 1897 to 1919, only
eighteen .per cent. of the British im-
migrants made entry for homesteads
in Western Canada as compared to
cantimmigvrants and tvre tyth-n nAe per
cent, of the foreign born from Con,
tinental Europe.
.In certain parts of Europe where
there is a genuine land hunger, there
is not enough land to go round. Five
or six acres per family is all the land
kvallable in certain parts of Belgium,
and even on that the thrifty Belgian
frequently brings up a family of ten.
ins fe grromtC ntragration of i Europe whi hr has
given Canada nearly 800,000 of her
Western farm population was due to
the constant subdivision of farms
which were only fifteen acres to
start with. These Ukrainians have
become a great asset to Canada, and
have at their own expense erected
fent large colleges for higher edu-
cation. Theta again we awe our fine
stock of seventy thousand Scandi-
..'navian settlers to the lack of suf.

ite, but he would not get the gold.
Would Get No Goid.
It would be explained to him that
the War Measures Act is still in fore?,
and under it no gold is permitted to
leave the country without authority of
the government. In other words there
is tot sufficient gold in the country
to enable the government to honor its
obligations, as provided by law and to
the extent to which this cannot be dog'
our currency is' depreciated. In Canada
this is evidenced by the high prices
of commodities. Money is the measure
of value just as the pound weight is the
butcher uses a weight lighter than the
standard the customer gets only a nine
pound roast for itis Sunday dinner.
tthen the scales show ten pounds, Our
utrrency is in exactly the same posit-
ion The standard is gold, but th money
used is not .egual to gold. When the
goods we exchange is measured as to
must be when dealing in the United
States, the discrepancy is evident, but
we have no right to blame the stand-
ard.
How About the Pound?
The currency of Great Britain is even
more depreciated than our own the
pound sterling worth at par $4.56
being quoted here at $4.42 but if the
British people put the blame for it on
us we would have every right' to resent
it, and the Americans are In exactly the
same position.
The similarity in names applied to
the monetary unit in Canada and the
United States has probably something
to do with the misunderstanding, The
term dollar is the same in both countr-
ies but there the similarity ends. Our
currency has no status in the United
States, and their's has no status is
Canada, Both, are promises to pay, and
must be sent to the country of issue
for redemption. What is dealt in by the
banks here is not American money, but
American funds, the right to receive
rs money in the United States. The term
premium or discount is simply a meth
od of qu-oting the price,
In mis-stating fact our politicians
are no worse than those in other coun-
tries. Some years ago the late James
G. Blaine spoke of the drain of gold
from New York, $it0,000,000 each
year for freights paid foreign ships,
and asked dramatically how could New
York stand this strain, qt was none -
sense and he knew it, but all he was af-
ter was a Mouth -filling phrase which
sounded terrible on the stump and
meant little. Possibly the seine reasons
are responsible here,
