Boloism is the in- sidious spreading of rumors and of propraganda that will help the Central Powers, Germans, Prussians, Austrians, Turks, Bulgarians and their sympathiz- ers, to bring the war to an end in a manner that will be to their advantage. Such propaganda is calculated to stir up discussion, argument, distrust and strife among the peoples of the Allied mations and thus_ set at naught and prevent a complete military victory by means of a patched up peace. At the present moment the leaders of the Cen- tral Powers, consolidated in Prussian- ism, know that in a military sense the war is already won by the Allies, pro- vided sufficient unity can be maintain- ed among the various peoples of the Entente nations to overcome the spread of the insidious science now known by the name of Boloism. Bolo Pasha was an adventurer, a friend of the Ex-Khedive of Egypt, who closely associated himself with French trade relations in Egypt, and who was undoubtedly a spy agent of Germany. When war was declared Bolo Pasha went to Paris and soon his fine hand became apparent in the spreading of propaganda favorable to the Central Powers among the French newspapers, and by other means. The recent Lan- sing disclosures in the United States led to the arrest of Bolo Pasha and it is claimed by certain French papers that the enormous sum of $8,000,000 had been turned over to him to subsidise the French press in favor of a peace satis- factory to Germany. Of the above amount $2,000,000 has been traced back to the Deutsche Bank. An instance of the methods of Bolo- ism is close at hand in connection with the floating of the Dominion Govern- ment Victory Loan, and one need not go farther than our own surroundings to find it. A rumor has been circulated that in twenty years time the Govern- ment of Canada will be unable to meet its obligations in connection with its war loans. That will most certainly be true if the Central Powers win the war, or if they succeed in obtaining a peace that will leave them in a position to go ahead and prepare for another, greater and probably more successful war to conquer the Allied Nations, and so gain the suprem&cy of military autocracy throughout the world as represented by Prussianism. When that happens the Government of Canada will not exist as a free Government and it will have no say in meeting the liabilities incurred now. ; About this pernicious and ill-founded rumor that it cannot meet its liabilities when they fall due: Why not? Let us stop and think. The Government of a country, no matter what party represents it, is first of all concerned for its solvency. All the trade interests anid all the banking and commercial in- stitutions rely upon the Government. If the Government cannot maintain its ed banks particularly, who are under bonds to it—will go broke. There will be no credit anywhere. The Govern- ment to maintain iits solvency, relies upon the resources of the country, nat- ural and commercial. All thinkers Imow that the resources of Canada are enormous, and only need development in order to bring wealth pouring in. ed by the war will, when it is over, re- 0 and it is to countries that possess the raw material the nations where the waste has occurr- ed will have to come. That there is a need for Canada’s resources of raw ma- terial has already been made clearly to those resources United States and the British Domin- ions he will look for a recuperation of the. waste of material caused by the war and for a return of the expenditure required to carry it on. It is this de- termination on the part of the Kaiser .apnd.tbhese.whom he represents that has. 7 ferged the United States to go to war ’ with all its energy, power and resourc- es \jof both men and material.

We of Canada are in the same position and our future, our re- sources, our financial wealth and sav- ings all depend upon the Allies winning the war. . What the Government says is this: ‘(Lend me your savings and I will take care of them and make them earn good money for you. I can do this better than any other institution, because I am the head of all such institutions in Canada, and they all depend upon me. What are your alternatives:—Either to leave them in the banks at a lower rate of interest, subject to the solvency of the Government, or to hord them in stockings and other hiding places where they will earn nothing and may be de- stroyed by fire or some such cause, or may eventually be taken by the Central powers should the war bg lost to us through lack of means to carry it on.”’ Everyone using common sense can see the force of the argument.
