Canada Getting Rich.
the Bachc Review.

We are beginning to do what Canada
has been doing a proportionate way for
three years. and it is interesting to note
the condition of that country brought
about by conditions which may prevail
a third loan. The government loans there
are called "Nictory' loans. The %circula-
ton of the vast sums of money raised aud
expended in Canada has created a hiSh
tide of prosperity there. Sir Thomas
White, in an address to q loan mass meet
ing, said that in spite of the uhprece-
dented times due to the war. Canada Is
far richer than ~before-perhaps twice as
rich. 1'he deposits of Canadian people are
$iG0. CG0,0G0 more than before the war, not
withstanding the fact that they have
raised three large war loans. But the
people of Canada" he said, with all
their virtues. are not born savers. They
are an open handed people. There is moth
ing small about them; but We have not
developed the Old world virtue of thrift.
letters in the Canadian dictionary"
Canada in this struggle has played q
mighty part. We have recruited. organ
lied and equipped no fewer than 4N,on
men,. of whom we have sent $50. 600 over
seas. Their deeds have thrilled the world;
they have made deathless histories upon
the plains of France INT Flanders
Our contribution of men in the proper
ton of our population would mean an
American army on the fighting line ~
neal 100000 men.
If three years Of wal have doubled the
riches of Canada. what may we expect
here, Notwithstanding that our income
and excess profits taxes are heavier?
