Will Canada Carry Her

Burden?

Great Britain and Europe, where

productive industry has been paralyzed, have mouths to feed, bodies to clothe,

constructive operations to carry

through, and a thousand-and-one wants

and needs to be satisfied, and Great

Britain and Europe look to Canada in

confidence for much of the needed supplies.

It is folly for Canadian manufactures and merchants to be down-hearted during these terrible times in Europe. A great great duty – a great responsibility – has been imposed on Canadian manufacturers, merchants, bankers and workers. Shall Canada and Canadians shirk their burden, this duty, this responsibility.

What’s the Answer?
