It is, | therefore, interesting to note that | vice for Canada in regard to the exchange situation which is rapidly | growing worse, and which may soon find the Canadian dollar down to | eighty cents. ference in exchange rates, says this Journal, is the trade balance against Canada, which is steadily increas- ing. The only solution it can find, {and It gives the advice frankly and |in good faith, is for Canada to pro- {duce and expert more goods and to curtail its enormous purchases in the United States. Coming from so authoritative a source, thiz state- ment deserves the attention of the whole Canadian nation. Of course, this advice is not alto- gether new. About a year ago, when the exchange rate placed the Canadian dollar at a discount of from twelve to seventeen per cent. in the United States, resolutions em- bodying this same advice were pase ed by Boards of Trade, municipal councils, merchants' organizations, veterans' assgelations and other bodies all over Canada. Apparently these resolutions were fruitless, as the trade record shows a worss con- dition than ever. During the ten months ending on October 31st, the last period for which the United States trade with Canada was reported, the surplus of exports from the United States to Canada, over imports into the United States from this country, was $362,006,000, as compared with $193,483,000 during the same period in 1919.an increase in Can- ada's trade balance of approximately seventy million dollars. These fig- ures hardly indicate any ctrtailment of Canadian purchases in the United States. It seems likely, toc, that, if the proposed tariff wall passed hy Congress becomes effectiva, the amount of Canada's exports to the United States will b> decreased, thereby making a bad situaticn worse, unless the Canadian buying public absolutely refrain from spending their money cn goods im- ported from across the border. It should hardly be necessary to make any appeal for a curtailment of buying in the United States, for it is poor business to spend a dollar where it will only buy eighty cents worth of goods.
