TRADE REVIVAL IN

Trade and Com
merCe.

The trade revival in Manitoba, Sas
katchewan and Alberta is an actually
and not a myth. There is today a
spirit OF optimism in the air, just as
two years ago there prevailed the op-
posite spirit of pessimism.
A general trade revival has been
felt in every department of business in
the Prairie Provinces. The agricul-
turists are in better shape than they
have ever been before in their lives.
No farmers of any country are in bet
ter financial condition and in a more
general state of prosperity than are
the farmers of Manitoba, Saskatche-
wan and Alberta. The farmers have
harvested record crop-a crop which
enriches them to the extent of some
thing over s400000,000.
In the cities the prosperity Of the
country has been reflected Every

The financial press recognizes that
the tide has turned in western Canada,

tional defense plans adopted by Con-
gress last August is 1852, 1913, 457 .63.

vice in accordance with the legisla-
ton adopted during the past SUM-
mer.

off GERS and men at war strength and
the liberalization of the National
Guard as well as the formation of a
trained reserve corps, and collection
of vast reserve stocks of war munit-
ions. The Army is to be increased
by the formation of new calvery, in
fantry and artillery regiments in
equal annual increments of new regi-
ments of these arms of the service.
For the Navy the plans call for
the expenditure of over $500, 600, ,OOO
on new naval construction and a
grand total of 157 new war vessels OF

spread over five years: the naval in
