SATURDAY, JUNE 12, 1916, ‘No. 41 BUSINESS CONFIDENCE ‘IS RETURNING Cana dians have no good reason to fear that the hard Limes resulting from the war will have a permanent effect on the Domin- ion. That trade in Canada has passed the period of greatest de- pression and already exhibits signs of asound revival in‘many lines appears to be the opinion of the majority of representative business men, throughout the Dominion who have contributed their views to a comprehensive survey of conditions which has just been com- pleted by the C.N.

Men are elected to fill eabinet positions because of their party standing—the influence ‘they wield and the power they have to control electoral districts— and nof because of their capacity to administer -their departments efficiently.
