The currencies of nearly every country in the world are depreciated. The Canadian dollar in the United States is subject to a heavy discount causing a"loss of over one hundred million dollars in‘"exchange annually. Europe is overwhelmed with war debtsâ€"unemployâ€" ment is acuteâ€"and the restoration to preâ€"war conditions is slow. â€" While Canada is in a much more favorable condition than many countries, yet there is evidence of stagâ€" nation, instability, unemployment and lack of conâ€" fidence. Taxes are heavy because of the country‘s efforts in the Great War, but have become burdensome on account of the misconceived policies and blunders of Governments that directed Canada‘s affairs prior to 1911. ; These conditions are largely the direct aftermath of the war, but they must be dealt with fearlessly and constructively. This is no time to consider experiâ€" mental changes, or the theories of visionaries. This is no time for Crerar and his Free Trade policy. This is no time for King and his wobbling "charted" policies, varying with each provincial boundary. It is the time to cling to orderly, stable Government in the interest of all the people; to be guided by the experience of the past, proceeding upon lines that have been proven sound. * It is the time to place the destinies of Canada again in the hands of a Government led by a sane, couraâ€" geous Canadian who has safely brought the country through the trying years of reconstruction, and upon whom we can rely to retain and initiate policies in the jnterest, not of a group or class but of all the people. It is the time to support ‘Arthur Meighen and his Candidates. 5B1 ken for highâ€"grade garments. « My appeal is to the whole people ; to every man and woman who wants to do right by this country ; to everyone who breathes the spirit of our fathers who founded this British Dominion."
