If the financier cannot get ‘his salary from the government he can get it elsewhere and the gov- ernment and the country are the losers. If a base- ball, hockey club or moving picture firm refuses to pay the price then their rival will do so. The expert gets his price, and the concern that pays the "price gets the benefit of the expert service.

A feature that is not creditable to the stage of civilization at which we have arrived is the fact that we are more ready to pay our dollars to the expert who amuses us than we are to the expert whose ef- forts might raise us to a higher moral or intellectual

ment and self indulgence. The expert in this may be a fool or a rogue; it matters nothing so long as he tickles the particular vanity to which we are addict- ed. As for the others, the experts on better things, well, -in our twentieth century mood, we know a

T. B.‘ Macauley, president of the Sun Life Assur- ance Company, says that everybody who buys from the Mother Country instead of from the United States at the present time performs a patriotic service, for he helps to improve the value of sterling exchange, and avoid-s increasing premium on American ex- change. The heavy premium on New York funds and the huge discount on sterling fund's are, he says, the natural and inevitable result of our ‘ purchasing chiefly from the Unite-d States, while selling chiefly to Britain,

Mr. Macauley points out that a Canadian mer- chant who spends $10,000 is now able to purchase

United States the value of his purchase would only be $8,333. On the one hand he is penalized by nearly $1,700, and on the other encouraged by $3,900. The difference in favor of buying in the Mother Country is $5,600, or fifty-six per cent.

Mr. Macauley points out that the Canadian Cus- toms Department figures that the pound is still worth $11-86, and the Anierican dollar worth no more than the Canadian dollar, and that as a consequence when it computes Customs duties it wipes out the tariff preference given the Mother Country, and establish- es a Customs preference on American goods over those imported from the Mother Country. To obviate this he says tihe Customs Department should be or- dered to compute ‘sterling at its actual value, and to permit Customs due on invoices from the United States to be paid by drafts on New York, and not by Canadian funds. a As regards ithe exchange problem in its general aspect, Mr. Macauley says the solution lies in consoli- dation of the Empire, so that every part shall be de- veloped to its capacity to supply ‘the raw ma-terials, foodstuffs, and other needs of. the other parts, and then all the parts, by trading together, will make the Empire and all its members prosperous, populous and commercially independent.
