Canada aims to pay debt by boosting national resources
Wisher of St John urged Canada to develop farms mines trests fisheries and factories to shrink the national debt from 326 million in 1914 to 2.4 billion today. He warned against heavy taxation and called for cautious social legislation while expanding manufacturing with protective tariffs to keep wealth in Canada and fund government expenses. He argued against tariff abolition, noting price advantages abroad would hurt Canadian industry and living costs would rise for Canadians. He cited the 80 percent of purchases by Canada's largest stores as proof of domestic quality and price, and highlighted jobs and factory growth under protection.
