CANADA AND THE WAR.

The announcement that group of American bankers
headed by j. p Morgan Co., is negotiating with the
Canadian government for floating bond issue Of $75
100000 indicates the greatness OF the financial burden
national debt has been increased from $350000000 to
$550000000 For the fiscal year ending in Canada on
March 81 1915 from all otaled 1913 000
000 while expenditures 1921 72 002 leaving deficit
of $04647520. For the fiscal year ending this month
the deficit it is estimated by Sir Thomas White, finance
minister will be $125000000 For the coming fiscal year
it is expected to reach $245000000 Economy is being
urged all sides Government appropriation bills have
been sashed and is probable that work important
national enterprises such the Hudson Bay railway and
several harbor improvement projects will be abandoned
The budget proposed in February provides for heavy
additional taxes business. There has been much pro-
test from business who contend that the heaviest
burden should be borne by wealth. and that for the pur
pose of taxation ordinary business should have been sep
arated from mnion industries. Other details of the
have also been attacked There is, however,
disposition to shirk the responsibilities Of the War
loans to England have passed the house of commons with
out pickering Since the first OF the year men have been
enstng in the Canadian bataions according to the
ports Of the department Of militia and Defense at the rate
of 1000 day faster than they be trained under pres
ent conditions About 500 day being sent to Europe
In day In Toronto last month, than 1000 men
enlisted Recent mysterious fires and explosions have
stirred the people to high pitch Of patriotism and
excuses have resulted.
The unpleasant unrealities of war will not be felt in
full Of course, until the higher taxes effective and the
full quota of 100000 men has been sent to Europe So
far however Canada has given Loyalty and willingly She
has nothing to gain material way from the except
imperial trade preference which Canadian parties have
attempted to get for years. That Canadians expect this
hope to be realized after the indicated recently
when the government rejected Liberal proposal to take
advantage of clause in the Simmons Underwood tariff
providing for the free interchange of wheat between Can
ada and the United States the ground that it might in
terfere with an imperial trade preference later.

writer says the business makes for the increased
influence of the home He suggests further study of the
subject
In closing he expounds interesting theory that the
closer associations between woman and industry that have
extended over several generations in France may account
in part at least for the OF France being always well
dressed He regards it extraordinary fact that the
French woman is the best-dressed in the world,
while the English is about the worst whereas with
the of the two nations it is exactly the reverse The
line Of reasoning in reaching this conclusion is rather
subtle and indirect The natural instinct of the
always to look her best but the French has been
compelled to subordinate her tastes to the duties Of the
day Work first beauty afterwards has been her MOTTO
and therefore in practice her beauty has been enhanced
by being brought in harmony with the environment.
English women dressing but to reveal
station and income have clothes that have been fail
ures Business women in America may agree with this
Engshman in his conclusions that women of affairs are
well dressed If they do not follow his line Of
ing.
