Now it is up beyond one billion five hun- dred million dollars, over four and one half times as much as in 1914, Interest charges on the borrow- ings of the country before the war amounted to twelve million dollars annually; to.day they are seven times as heavy. There were practi- cally no pensions to pay four years ago; to-day they total over fifteen million dollars a year, These are only parts of what we have been called upon to advance for the security of living our own lives free alike from Prussianism and Bolshevism.

During the last twenly years we have advertised the glorious possi- bilities of Canada wherever men can read. We wanted immigrants. Yet it was exactly in the four-year war period that we were taught that our development does nol need to wait entirely for immigration. It is that the productive capacity of the average man and woman in the Dominion was almost doubled. We learned the strenuous "art of doing more." We created more wealth per head of the popu. lation by higher standards of effici ency. The speculator, the land "booster" and the gambler in all forms of wealth were eliminated. well known We learned to be self-reliant in the Dominion, It was the greatest lesson, perhaps the greatest benefit, which the war brought us. This is the quality which we mast still further cultivate, self-reliance in business, in agriculture, in all that which goes to make trade and to hold it. It can be done permanently in peace time as it was. done for victory. It will be compulsory, because no one else will. pay our debts.

In fact, tLe total develop ed value is probably about $20,000, 000.000. The thing to do is to develop it still more. With an annual income which in 1918 was estimated at $2,500,000,000, there should be plenty of margin in our receipts for re-investing in national business for its expansion, It is essential that the people should know that future prosperity hangs on the widening and broad- ening of trade--trade in all lines, agriculture, mining, fishery, lumber- ing and manufacturing, We could make or produce within our own frontier many things we import and so keep here the money we have, We could export many more. things if we organized our medium-sized and smaller trades into groups, and so we could help to pay our debts with money brought in from outside. These then are the broad, easy-to- grasp facts of the trade position in Canada. It does not want magic to bring about the change desired. Common sense--in a rare degree-- is wanted, though.

There is httle doubt that Holland will comply with the request, As one of the smaller nations whose security rests largely upon the observance of treaty obligations, she is vitally concerned in any steps that will world - the sacred- The wording ment indicating that there 1s no intention of charging the former Kaiser with an offense against the criminal law apparently means that the plan to be followed is the result of compromise. and meets the objec- tion of some, the United States particularly, that the Kaiser could not be tried on accusations of crimi- nal and military offenses. By inference the decision of the inter- national court, which presumably would be ratified by the Powers in the event of a verdict of guilty, would be life banishment for William. The Allies do not propose that other Germans known to be guilty of positive actions in violation of the laws of war, and of criminal offenses against the citizens of varions nations, shall escape the consequences. Germany baving failed to punish avy of these, their surrender is to be demanded and their trial by Allied Gibunals will follow. Lloyd George's recent assurance that the election pledges of himsclf and his Government would be embodied in the peace terms is recalled by the statement now issued. Punishment of Ger- mans notoriously guilty of violating all the rules of war, and every other law, was repeatedly stated by the British Premier and his colleagues as something they would insist upon in the terms of peace.
