Credits Sustain Our Foreign Trade Tlio public birdly realizes the extent to which Canada's export trade is de- pendent on the prov'diUij the c/edits for other governments. Since the middle of 1!»18 credits amounting to $240,000,000 have been advanced to the British Ojv ernmentas follows :â€" Imperiiil Munitions Board, $132,000,- 000; for tho purchase of Canadian grain, $55,000,000 ; for export:- vf daay pro- ducts, $35,000,000 ; for the sale of tho B C. Salmon pack, §8.000,000 ; for other exports of foo^, $10,000,000. This money came from tho Canadian public iu iho £onn of Uans. Out of their savings over 1,000,000 people in this Country bought Doiiiini'n bonds, and thus provided the funds out cf « liich tlie«o advance.^ were made.
