THEJ-IOME VIEWPOINT '

dies Canada a Canadian view- poiufl‘); there a Canadian nation- al spiritf These questions are daily ashbd iind daily answered in the negative and the absence of both daily deplored.

There is no doubt that we have a Canadian viewpoint, no doubt that there is a Canadian National spirit. That there are both was unmistakeably demonstrated diir- lng the Great War when half a million Canadian went to the front to save Canada and the Empire and some fifty or sixty thousand of them ungrudgingly laid down their lives for the cause. Yes, there is a Canadian Viewpoint: there is a Canadian national spirit but both need an occasional awuk- ening. When the need arises the Canadian National spirit will as- sert itself as it did when Canada and the Empire were threatened.

ln the meantime we ale easy go ing people. We take many things for granted. We buy where we can buy cheapest, sell where we get most for our goods, regardless in both cases whether our :ountry is affected adversely or favorably. whether our buying or our selling is helping or injuring our country.

Our readers, individually and collectively. will recall haw, during the war, they declared with pas- sionate fervor that they would ne- ver again buy anything made in Germany, No never. The declara- tion, it is true, was a hasty one and made under pressure. How we have forgotten it! Today the main thought in our purchasing is to got s bargain, to get the most for our money. We take little or no thought of the consequences to our country, to the effect upon our home industries and the develop- ment of our own country. We for- get, while trying to snve seven cents on a dollar, that every dollar we spend abroad is a dollar taken out of the earnings of oar own people, a dollar taken out of the pocket of the man who, because we have proved false to him, must leave his country and go elsewhere to earn a living.

In Canada today several millions of American magazines are being sold every year. Many of these are good, wholesome literature. Tho great majority of them are worthless or worse than worthless, they are morally unwholesome. But,‘ worthy or worthless, they set the pace in Canadian fashion and. to a large extent. in Canadian thought. They present the Amer- ican, not the» Canadian viewpoint. They present the American style of dress, the ideals in American soc- iety, and We follow. We become enthusiastic the "lovely" dresses, hats, boots and shoes. shown in their coetly-advertiments and impression is forced upon us that these are the styles and the Ioqls we went, and we buy them _eith_er_ through their mail order ‘ houses. or through our own merch- ants. who have yielded to the pop- his! demand or American goods.

This is one ofwthe many causes of’- Csnadirs caiamitous exodus in Illfi iiast two years. Our indust- rieslgmanufrfdturing and farming, have been ruined by American pro- "llllqlli manufactured and agricul- tural. The American magazine‘ is responsible for much of it; our low and unstable tariff is responsible for the rest-of it.. The remedy is to dibcoursge the foreign magazine, to encourage our own Canadian militias; to protect own our mon- hlpitures. and our own agriculture by"! duty st least as high as the duty‘ seals-i us.

lt is significant that a number of so-callcd "independent" newspap- ers which show their "independ-

ence" by supporting the party in

power in all its acts, while mildly but “lndependently" criticizing the Opposition, are at presenrtrini- ming their sales for a change of political wind. "Bravo King‘, Bravo Meighen," is the way one of these puts it. Until recently Mr. Meig- hen was unqualifiedly denounced.

WHAT'S WRONG wi-ri-i "m: noosrsm

To the facetious assertion that hens’ eggs are far more popular than ducks‘ because the hen adver- tiscs every time she lays, whereas the duck remains silent, the retort -has been made, "What about the rooster?" ‘

It is obvious that the rooster, a ncne-egg-producer, makes u nsider-

his wives, singly or collectively. It might be said that he uses the

copy on a bigger scale. But where- as the clucking of the hen is al- ways a welcome sound, the boister- ous crowing of the rooster is uni

The explanation is that the hen's advertising is known to mean something. It has been "keyed" so often and found so generally relia- ble that it is regarded with respect. The hen "has the goods.” The rooster, on the other hand, indulg- es in advertising of the type which. in more exalted spheres, consists of spreading the name and picture of the advertiser broadcast as an empty tribute to personal vanity. it doesn't meal anything.

For this reason, the roosters MI- vertising fails to create goodwill. it is, in addition, invariably ill- timed, forcing itself upon the ear when quiet is most] desired. Not having the goods, being untimely. and utterly ignoring the prejudices or the prospect, what is the fate of the advertising rooster? Simply this: Nine out of ten of the clan are ushered out of existence before they have had a chance’ to run more than a few insegtionsi—"Mar- ketilig." ~

But the wrong doing so often changed agaiiinat the "outs," affords no valid excuse for the party that is in power and is doing the same thing for which each blames the other. The "outs" may nt least claim that they have been punished for their sills by being turned out of office. In the mean- time superannuation has been one of the factors which contribute to the present enormous cost of the Civil Service.

Supersmmuation abolishes no offices. it simply retires the office holder on an allowance which ls paid him for life at the cost of the tax payers and which may be practically two-thirds or less of his full salary. Then a new appoint- ment is made usually a favorite of the party in power, and the country has two or more officials on the pay roll instead of the one it before. We say two or more advis- edly for there are instances on re- cord where as many, as four officials are drawing pay in this way on account of the same office. one drawing full pay and others drawing superannuation pensions.

For a man between the ages of twenty-three and thirty, about 60c. aweek will maintain an Imperial ZO-Paymcnt Life "Policy for $1,000.

If, after you have paid but one premium on such a policy you should die, this Company _ would immediately pay $1,000.00 to your '

Consider what a wonderfully safe investment it is! One policyholder said recently “the only thing I possess that is worth one hundred cents on the dollar is my life insurance policy, and I regret to-day that I am not carrying five timcslas much.”

EARLY SETTLERB

Canada was settled and explored in the ‘sixteenth and seventeenth centuries by men and women in whom burned the pure white flame of religion, devotion, as the re- - cords of martyrdom and privations prove. The little families were under control of the church and religious observsnces were s vital part of existence. Canada in those dsys was smssingly moral and its people lived the ascetic lives of the esrly Christians. Into this atmos- phere came the dashing Carignan regiment. s thousand officers and inen. destined to provide the an- cestry for s big part of today's population of Quebec. A new gslety was instilled into Quebec life.
