Our billion and a quarter to Britain is nearly three times as much, proportionately, as the United Statés lent. - But there are other. factors which must be con- sidered. . -- : What ded 4 can we di than sell to Britain and. , Europe on credit? We might be able to divert a little of our current' export trade to the United _ States or South America-~Americans might buy a "little of our beef, for instance, up to the moment when their own farmers can fill the demand. And for the long pull we should dovelsp « our trade with South America.

ARCHER MOTOR SALES i - Ld loan to Britain is triple the size of the American; overseas-trade is-four-times as big-a-chunk of our national production as it is of theirs. bv i Canada today is like the corner grocer- fin a strikebound mill town. He can either give his customers credit, or go out of business. In such a time the grocer doesn't ask if the customers have money; he knows they haven't. He asks whether this man has been a steady cus- $ tomer in the past, whether he's a reliable type who's sure of work when the plant re-opens, whether he uses his charge account prudently, for necessities qnly. By these standards our overseas buyers measure 'up pretty well. Britain, who owes us twice as much as all the rest put together, has always been our best customer. Her name as a steady worker and trustworthy debtor is good. As for prudence, what could be more heroically thrifty than the British "austerity program"? Britain dogsn't want to borrow another cent, and she may not have to, but if she does need more money ft won't be for lack of self-denial. Of course we can't be certain that Britain or any of our credit customers won't go broké. But what, in cold fact, can we do about it? Stop dealing with these countries, and: we ruin ourselves as well as them. Go on as we've been going, and we've hope of seeing better times for -all. This doesn't mean that we should spend high, wide and handsome at home.
