great hope for the future in the de-

America is so dear to us" he said,

future"
The pontiff predicted that the young
students for the priesthood would have
a large share in this development.
America is so important, so great
member of the apostolic family. She is
both yours and ours"

DEBT HOPE DENIED
IN CHEAP PRODUCTS
Present Financial Structure
Can't Live With Low Prices,
Says Canadian.

Business and financial men must
plainly see that 60-cent wheat is not
going to keep alive the present financial
structure we have built up in the United
States and Canada, nor will such low
commodity prices allow the public to
pay interest on the huge pile Of pro-
vincial. State and Federal debts which
our western capitalistic world has al
lowed itself to accumulate"
This was the opinion expressed by
Robert Cromie. owner and editor OF
the Vancouver sun. who is stopping at
the MayfioWer for few days
Mr. Cromie continued: 1T must no"
be clear to thinking people that our
present low prices of wheat ana copper
and lumber and cotton, etc. ana our
high financial structure are two anllnalS
that cannot live in the same country aI
the same time.
Sees DefiatiOn Abroad.
"Our governments at Ottawa and
washington must feaTlessly tell our
financial and business men that the
bonds and securities they now hold are
headed for the same defiatlon that our
commodity prices have Just gone
through. Or else our governments
must quickly make such reflatlonary
moves as will bring commodity prices
into line with our interest rate ana
capital structure. H..
until the investors and security
holders in Canada and the Unlteo
states are definitely told that, like the
farmer and producer, their product,
money, is to be likewise debated there
can be no feeling OF security ana
therefore, no possible return OF pros
perity. ,,..;4o.o
tn spend 2 per cent or 3 per cent try
ing to protect his fortune. why shoulo
not a country do likewise?
Canada has $4,000 100000 OF ma
tional wealth. Two per cent OF that
would be $500. 100000. The United
states has $500. 600 100000 of national
wealth. Two per cent Of that would be
$4,000, 100000.
Optimistic Over Future.
INV own feeling is that before cut
ting our financial structure down to
half or quarter of its present value, the
two countries which possess the ma
tional wealth that We do-the United
States and Canada-would be more
than justified in first spending 2 per
cent or 3 per cent of that wealth on
the experiment of relation.
Il am not afraid Of the future OF
North America Compared with any
other country on earth, and l have
seen them all, our economic set-up is a
2. 3 or 4 to bet But l am afraid that
our financial structure is out of line
with our basic commodity prices, and
until this is adjusted We are in real
danger"
