Buy Less the Remedy,
Finance Minister Saws

OTTAWA, Ont, Dec. 1.-THE only
remedy is 10 buy less" said Sir Henry
Drayton, Minister of Finance, in COM,
menting to- day on the extraordinarily
low level to which Cansoian exchange
has dropped on the New York market.
Canadian exchange, he pointed out,
is so closely related to sterling ex-
change that the fall in sterling may be
regarded as largely responsible for
the present discount on Canadian
money in the United States.
The question OF exchange is under
serious consideration here, Sir Henry
said, but it is felt that TO be really
effective any action taken would have
to be international.
PARIS. Dec. II (Havas). Prob
lens related to the exchange crisis
were discussed by the Council Of Min
listers yesterday. and the considerations
of the subject will be continued to~
day. Louis Loucheur, Minister Of Re-
construction, advised that merchandise
be imported from all countries with
vorable, this plan including Germsny''
as soon as the peace treaty comes intS'
effect. The project Of loan is being
studied and will be laid before the
Chamber OF Deputies this month.
