davis of saska tchewan brought home forcibly the effects of autocatlc debt and interest repudiation when he said the alberta government had destroyed the value of 1500 000 worth of bonds held by six saskatchewan cities the alberta bonds in which the neighboring com xnunlties invested their money would not bring onethird or their face value today presumably the investments repre sented sinking fund money which the cities expected to have available to meet their own debts they trusted to the soundness and honesty of al berta naturally enough before premier aberhart appeared and the whole some neighborly spirit was commend able the saskatchewan cities have lost their interest and the value of the principal is practically removed hav lng in mind conditions in saskatche wan this nest egg probably meant more to them than tt would to any alberta city apparently both invest ment and neighborly faith have been ruined by the social credit govern ment extend this to every mdrridoat and

governments of saskatchewan and manitoba in series of measures for the relief of farmers in tbe drought areas and elsewhere the companies contribu tion to this relief took the form of debt readjustmets and mortgage in terest reduction commencing with january of 1937 the provincial ad ministrations of the two provinces welcomed this voluntary action and did their utmost to promote and supplement it we do not think it has ever been made public but the same offer was made to toe alberta government and refused that offer might be summarised as follows on farm mortgages in drought and crop failure areas arrears of interest dating back mora than two yean would be forgiven and the remain ing arrears would be consolidated with the principal so that the farmer would be able to start afresh with nothing overdue in other than drought areas there would be adjust ments of arrears such as might- be warranted in individual cases of hard ship throughout the province inter est rates on mortgages would not ex ceed 6 per cent as from the beginn ing of 1937 the alberta government having re fused this offer the leading companies went ahead making compromise ar rangements with individual farmers in that province who were prepared to do their utmost to pay their debts without any enabling legislation bat the provincial legislature has now passed a number of acts which dis courage payment one of these meas ures makes tbe foreclosure of a farm mortgage illegal if the farm is owner- occupied while an urban homeown ers mortgage can only be foreclosed if tbe mortgage holder pays him a compensation of 3000 irrespective of what the property may be worth another of the alberta acts outlaws by midsummer of 1940 all debts of whatever kind contracted prior to ti of 1906 unless in
