Canada has spent in Canada on behalf of Great Britain over $300,000,000, ° What Canada spends for Great Britain is really loaned to Great Britain Great Britain needs. so much ready cash to finance her own expenditures at home for herself and for our Allies that she- must buy on credit from Canada, and from évery other country where she can get credit. Of course Great Britain's credit is so good that other countries, in order to get her trade, are quite as willing to give.her credit as we are in Canada. . Canada wants to help Great Britain . not "ortly, because. Canada wants Britain's trade but because we are Canada and she is Great Britain---both members: of the same great Empire, kin of @ur kin, our -mother- land. © ; For Canada it is both a filial and patriotic duty to supply .Great Britain's war needs and remember, her needs are our needs: Also.it is in Canada's:self-interest "to supply those needs. and thus keep open a market for our products. * * ok Now, Britain needs our wheat, our cheese, cattle, hogs, and many manufac- tured articles. . & Canada also needs many of these things --between the two it amounts to' moge-. than a million dollars a.day in cash. 'And the producers must be paid in Neither Canada nor Great .Britain could go to a.

That part in helping to win the war. c Without this credit the Canadian pro- ducer could not sell to Great Britain, and without these' Canadian products the war would be prolonged. a So it is necessary for Canada to give to Great Britain the credit in order. that Canada's own producers, who, need amarket, will have one; aud in order that Great Britain which feeds the products to win the war, will get them. ; * * * _Now how does Canada get the money by which both Canada and Britain can pay cash for Canada's products?
