TAKE A LOOK AT CANADA

Some OF the Tories who have been scolding President Wilson for
not keeping the American dinner pail full should be greatly enlightened
by reading a little industrial history now being made in Canada. II
womd reveal, for instance. that the Grand Trunk railroad proposes to
reduce the wages OF $4,000 employees 1t might be added that the earn
ings Of the Canadian Pacific have fallen off many millions since the OUT
break OF the a. Canadian cities have hosts of unemployed men in
spite of the industries that have been stimulated 10y the demand for war
materials.
This in Canada. the state where the corporations are 50 fairly
treated, where railroad and trust commissions are not teading on the
heels O. the beneicent rulers of "bg business" With all these whole
some Canadian laws carefully designed to promote and encourage ex-
parsion If trade, Canada still has a depression.
Why not blame Mr.. Wilson for the depression in Canada as we'll as
that in the United States: Since any Democratic executive must bear
the brunt ot crop failures and panics both before and after his admin
istraton, why not unload the depression OF Canada upon his shoulders
As weli Why such Difference to a high office and an overworked presi
dent?
