(Oontinrued from_page i‘;_)____

The cash deficiency was met by reducing cash ball-mu to the cl- ient of $40,000,000 and by borrow-

. , .1130. The borrow- ing proceeds also provided 000,- 000,000 to meet maturities in cash and $0,000,000 to reduce the float-

ing debt.

The commented with satisfaction on the way. the pub- lic responded to appea to buy bonds and war savings certificates, but he warned against a tendency to sell bonds and cash ln certi- ficates before they ‘ due. He aald this meant withdrawing money from the service of th nation and advised that lpend- ing be curtailed until after the

war.

The sales of securities to the public totalling $2,947,200 in two victory loans and the continuous war lavlngs certificate and stamp selling were the largest in volume

for any year yet.

"But bably it will have to be exeeede ln the present year," he said. In his last speech in 1943 the Minister complained there had been too much borrowing from banks in 1940-43. He said that was not healthy and more should be obtained by the sale of secur- i-es.

His speech tonight indicated his goal was achieved although he made no specific reference to bank borrowing. In 1942-43 bor- rowing from the public at $1,070,- 000,000 was less than half the peak attained this year. To obtain the {necessary funds the Minister had ‘to borrow from the Bank of Can- ada and the chartered banks to

the extent of Gross Debt

Canada's gross unmatured fund- ed debt stood at $10.w0,000,000 on March 31. against 98.842.000.000 a. year earlier. Of the total 97 per cent was held in Canada and the annual interest charge was $274,- 000,000 or an average rate of 2.57 per cent.

The size of the debt should be placed in perspective. While it had increased national income had also increased. doubled since war started. It was almost whole- ly domestic. Payments in interest went into the pockets of taxpay- crs. It vras well distributed among probably not less than 60 per cent of the income-earners.

“These are reasons why I have confidence in the ability of the country to carry this debt and in the soundness and stability of these bonds as an investment," fr: sal . -

Income tax receipts contribut- ed heavily to the higher revenue showing a 52 per cent gain over the preceding year to 08113000000.

The national income estimate was up roughly l2 per cent over the previous year, Mr. Ilsley said, and apart from pay to the forces the largest increase was in farm incomes.

Armed Services

Major l943-44 expenditures were by the armed services - army $1,- 3363145900; Navy $169,827,000 and Air $922,600,000. Munitions De- partment outlays were $725,000,000.

Counted among active assets were more than $20,000,000 for the purchase of railway equipment; $5,272,000 for the acquisition of capital stock in the Eldorado Min- lng and Refining, Ltd. and $13,- 779,000 for the Canadian Wool Board, Ltd., which obtains wool supplies for Canadian needs.

The Air Department expenditure

for the overseas war establishment was increased from s23,666,®0 in 1942-441 to an estimated $384,- 725,000 in 1946-44. This was largely explained by an increase ln the number of squadrons for which the Dominion has assum- ed responsibility, involving an in- creased expenditure of about‘. $308,000,000, and by the arrange- ment whereby Canada has as- sumed responslblllty for the pay of all RCAF personnel overseas, causing an increased outlay of about $50,000,000. Charges under the British Com- monwealth alr training plan drop- ped from $366,897,000 1n 1942-43 to $225,550,000 ln 1943-44.

“This apparent decrease merely reflects the apportionment of the costs as between Canada and the United Kingdom, the gross ex- penditure for the plan for i943- 4-4 totals approximately $406,500.- 000 but approximately $270,950,000 has been deducted and treated as a recoverable advance to the gov- ernment of the United Kingdom ln accordance with the. responsib- llltles assumed b the two govt

_ernments under t e terms of the

agreement," said the white paper.

Some no doubt have not. done their but work but I. should like once afn tn remind you that Grade 1n a very difficult year's work. ‘more la a gap between Grade X and XI which must be brldied in addition to an overloaded course for the grade itself. But the student who succeeds in passing has accom- plished some hing really wort While. Our Grade XI ls a stand- ard grade accepted all over Can- ada by Canadian Universities and other institutions as representing n certain attainment of general For those of us who have been born on P.E.I, university standards mean little. It is by P.W.C. that we have measured our. intellectual tslnments and so‘ while comparisons are odious, l| am almost forced to remind you that Grade XI has the same rat- lng with the universities as second year at P.W.C. and Grads M! as III year.

standards as inconvenient sponsored this first attempt our province to give a system, not necessarily batten-but that fits in with the systems of other pro- vlnces and carries a student who moves from the province to an- other along without any breaks. It is to be hoped that the sys- tem may soon become entirely standarlzed without lowering the excellence of the instruction.

Once the Grade XI barrier has been safely passed, Grade XII follows more easily yet I would not wish you to feel that this is taking any credit from the uni-

Our prize list is a short one. As you know we have no stated fund from which to draw prizes. Hence we are forced to depend on the generosity of our citizens. We have never called on them in vain but we hesitate to tax their inter- est too far. Each year we try to contact a few firms and citizens in that none is called on too of- en

Tonight we owe our prizes to the goodwill of Messrs. Brace. MacKay and Co.. E. P. Foley, Bells Bookstore, Mr. Lloyd Gorrlll and Dr. D. 0. Stewart.

And now a personal word to the graduates. May I just remind you

he that we shall follow your future

careers with affectionate under- standing but with great expecta- tions and that we shall rejoice in your successes and be disappoint- ed lf you fall. Not all of us can be brilliant but wholehearted en- deavour is possible to us all and that we expect. "It isn't by size that. you win or you fall, be the best of whatever you are."

The remarks made by Miss Ramsay covering Red Cross con- tributions and War Savings Stamps included the A -‘ subscriptions as well.

The usual school activities were engaged in this Hockey seemed as usual to lead in the

sports was an even greater suc- cess than usual. These things we consider have their importance in the well-rounded school life.
