Owing to the drain on the treasury,
the members of Frank Lozar post of
the American Legion at special meet

One of the arguments made against
the lease-lend bills which more or less
boomeranged was that the United
states was being asked to help England
more than Canada or any other OF
her dominions. Blair Moody, cores
pondent here of the Detroit News, de-
cided to dig into that one and see just
what the facts are and he came up
with an interesting story.
There are the essential facts: Canada
is spending one-fourth of the total
national income on war effort. Canada
has 10000 soldiers abroad, equipped
and paid by her, and shortly will
double that number. She is training
10000 men for the air force and
shortly will increase her fleet from ITS
ships and 1890 men to ALB ships and
$4,000 men.
Canada's income tax, with basic
credits of $3.50 for a single person
81 500 for a married couple and $40O
for each dependent, begins at 6 per
cent on the first $3.50 of taxable in
come, 8 per cent on the next $3.50, Il
per cent on the next 81 1000 and Is pei
cent on the next $1,000. A married
man with a $1,000 income and two
children pays $407 tax.
If our defense effort were on the
same basis as Canada's war effort, we
would be spending about "a billion
dollars a year. Actually we are nov
spending at the rate of about five bill.
lion dollars a year, but it is being
stepped up rapidly and is expected tt
reach a rate of ten billions by sum
mer.
Put it another way, the United State
is now devoting only one-sixteenth o
its total productive energy to produc
ton for defense and by summer, at tn
present rate of increase, will be devot
ing only about one-eighth of its full
production to defense purposes.
That doesn't sound like much whel
compared to the ratio of nation
actually at war. Both Britain AM
Germany are devoting three-f1fths O
all production to the war effort leavin
, only two-fifths for civilian needs wher
, we use seven-eighths for normal pur
poses.
! OF course, if the United States wit
national income of 80 billions, spen
even half for defense production, it
/ total would be three times the Is bill
lions being spent by Britain.

Should the present measure be re-

in his illegal glory Notwithstanding
the high salaried commissions Of the

companies offering these small loans
in the state and are closely super

the small borrower. This law was
backed by the Federation of Labor. To
repeal the law now would be to drive

the borrower. The bill should be dis
