Some of the leading countries are verging on bankruptcy. . Five years ago Canada had never dreamed of the financial burden she carries to-day. Canada entered the Great War with a National Debt of $337,000,000, or $42 per head of population, Canada emerges with a National Debt to date of $1,670,263,691, which is expected to approximate $2,000,000,+ 000 by the‘end of the fiscal year—or about $250 for every man, woman and child in the country. Interest charges alone will eat up nearly one- half our present national revenue, and soldiers’ pensions will have to be provided as well. Can Ontario Afford to Spend $36,000,000 a Year on Booze? abl a to the Ontario Temperance Act the drink bill of the Province approximated $36,000, per year, an amount about equal to Ontario’s share of he Annual interest on our National Debt. In the face of our financial responsibilities alone, is this the time to repeal the Ontario Temperance Act or relax a single one of its restrice tions upon waste of money and man power?
