on the Economic Front
To your restless question "When can I help win this war?” — the answer is NOW.
On Monday next, the Government of the Dominion of Canada will offer the First
War Loan. The purpose of this Loan is to provide money to carry on the war, not only
oh the battlefields, but all along the Economic Front.
Let us explain what the Economic Front means. It means a war in which the entire natural,
industrial and financial resources of the country are used to defeat the enemy. .It means
a "total war” in which every citizen takes a part, in which his personal resources must
support those of the Nation.
In such a war, one of the chief weapons is money. Where is this money to come from?
There is only one answer. It must come — and come voluntarily — from the savings of
our people. The difference between us and the Germans is that we, of our own free will,
lend our money — it is not ruthlessly taken away..
This is your opportunity to do your part in this struggle against Hitlerism. The eyes of
the world are upon you, upon Canada, one of the strongest members of the British
Commonwealth. Canadians must show that their strength, their courage and their resources
are all in this fight against "brute force, bad faith, injustice, aggression and persecution.
The news of the success of this Loan must go ringing round the world.
Be ready to buy War Loan Bonds.* They will have the proven safety and salability of
Dominion of Canada obligations. Any Investment Dealer or Chartered Bank will take
your subscription. The quicker the economic war is won, the greater will be the saving
of human lives . . . the swifter the collapse of the enemy.
