He had taken only cur- rent account figures. thereby mis- representing the true position. The most important lhillg in any Iudlet should be an accurate fitment o! the financial stand- hi. Dr. MaoMlllan quoted from Ca- mdlan Press reports of My Hughes’ speech; in which the cur- rant account surplus was featur. ed while there were no figures to eltow the actual debt or liability at the Province.
