“TIi¢ question was asked somewhere-and I
am sorry that such a question should have been
asked: .‘Are we going to bankrupt ourselves for
England'I' I know I am on dangerous groundi
but I can't help it. I have a habit of saying what
I think. That question did not arouse so much
in-lignatiori in my mind as pity-pity that any
young Canadian should have so failed to grasp
the magnitude of the Issue, and pity in the second
place that any young Canadian should have gone
over the history of the British -ln this war and
her history of other days and fail to realize that
Britain is going near the verge of bankruptcy for
the world‘s freedom."
