Every woman in this District who has the interests. and welfare of the serviceâ€"men and their families at heartâ€"as they all haveâ€"are cordialâ€" ly invited to attend this meeting in the War Veterans‘ Rooms; and a program of activities will be thea mapped out that will surprise the natives. "Paragraph 2 provides the amount of gratuity which shall beâ€" paid by the Canadian Government, and I would point out that under this parâ€" araph, if the soldier has served in the Canadian fores only in Canada and for less than one year, no . graâ€" tuity would be payable. "Paragraph 8 lays down the maxiâ€" mum gratuity which shall be paid to a soldier who has had both imperial and Canadian service. «t says that the gratuity payable shall not exâ€" ceed a certain amount. It does not say that in every case, the gratuity shall not be less than that amount. iThe object of pazagraph $ was that a man who had both imperial~ and Canadian service should not in any event receive more than hs would have received for similar services in th Canadian forces only. It does not. provide, however, for payment of Canadian gratuity to bring the bonus up to the amount of gratuity he would have received had his total services been with the Candians."

And he produces the following figures to prove it: : "Canada‘s net national debt on October 3, 1918, was $1,247,000,000. We have â€"adopted the slogan. ‘One hundred hens to every farm, ten hens to every urban lot.‘ That would mean taking 1000,000,000 _ as the round number of â€" Canadian farms 100,000,000 hens in the counâ€" try, and 10,000,000 hens in the cities towns and villages, a total of 110,â€" 000,000. Of course everybody in the city could not keep hens, and many would not even if thye could. But many people in the suburban disâ€" tricts of the cities, and in the smalâ€" ler towns, and the country . vilâ€" lages could keep more than ten, 20, 30, 50, 75, perhaps. So take an average of ten.> A good select hen will produce 200 eggs a year. But taking a low estimate of ten dozen eggs a year 120) for 110,000,000 hen and would produce 1,100,000,000 dozen eggs a year. sume in Canada 25 dozen eggs per head of population per annum in Canada. We would increase this alâ€" lowance to: 50 dozen, a total of about 350,000,000 dozen. We use less than 25,000,000 dozen of our eggs at teh present time for. incuâ€" bation. Suppose we increase this to 50,000,000 dozen. That would total 400,000,000 dozen for Canadian conâ€" sumption â€"a very liberal allowance, we would then have left for export 700,000,000 dozen at an _ average price of say 40 cents per dozen. That would bring $280,000,000 per year ‘ into the country from eggs alone. The interest on our acbt of $1,247,000,000 at 5% per cent. will amount to _ $68,585,000. We would pay this interest and apply a bal> ance of $213,415,000 to reducing the principal every year. In less than six years Canada‘s hens would wipe out the total monetary cost of the war to Canada and our total net national debt. "I could not say that Canada will do this.
