THE DOMINIONS SALVATION IS MIXED FARMING. OUR BUYS ARE RETURNING AND IT IS SUGGESTED TO PIT 'l'll KM UN TIIK LAND, BUT SOME INDUCEMENTS MUST BE OFFERED TO GET THEM TO ADOPT THIS MODE OP LIVELIHOOD AFTER UPHOLDING THE PRESTIGE OF" THE DOMINION,

WHILE WE REMAINED AT HOME IN SAFETY AND COMFORT. THE FIRST ESSENTIALS ARE PAYABLE LAND (AND NOT LAND THAT HAS PROVED UNPAYABLE , GOOD ROADS, AND ADEQUATE RAILWAY SERVICE. AND THE MAKING OF ROADS AND RAILWAYS WOULD ENABLE FUNDS TO BE RAISED TOWARDS THE VENTURE. THE NEXT IS AMPLE PROTECTIVE DUTIES ON THE PRODUCTS OF THE SOIL, WHICH ARE JUST AS NECESSARY AS THE ALIEN POLL TAX, TO PREVENT LOWERING TO THE ASIATIC

OUR PRE-WAR MAN-POWER WAS IN THE VICINITY OF 275,000 TO 300,000, AM) SINCE ABOUT 110,000 BRAVELY RESPONDED TO THE EMPIRES CALL. IS IT NOT SUICIDAL FOR US TO REMAIN ACQUIESCENT WITH OUR SMALL POPULATION OF ONE MILLION AND ITS HEAVY INDEBTEDNESS? WHEN AMERICA (INCLUDING THE ARGENTINE) CANADA, INDIA, AUSTRALIA, CHINA.

DEBT WHICH WILL BE OF A STUBBORN CHARACTER AND WILL REQUIRE SKILFUL HANDLING, AND BY LAUNCHING OUT WITH REPRODUCTIVE WORKS—BUT NOT LIKE THE OTIRA TUNNEL ONE FOR PROSPECTIVE STRATEGICAL PURPOSES, AS WE HAVE HAD A SURFEIT OF WAR AND ITS HORRORS—THEY WOULD PAY INTEREST ON INVESTMENTS AND PROBABLY LEAVE A SURPLUS TOWARDS REDUCTION OF DEBT, BUT TO ALLOW OUR RESOURCES TO BE DEPLETED ONLY ADDS TO OUR INDEBTEDNESS, AND IT IS JUST AS LOGICAL TO EXPECT A SAILING SHIP TO MAKE A VOYAGE WITHOUT SAILS AS TO ENSURE SAFETY AND PROFIT.
