Victory Loans provide the sinews of war. The obligation is strictly up to every individual to "dig down" to the last copper to see that every last piece of equipment is pro- vided to the lads overseas from the dollars that are available here in Canada. Victory Loan campaigns are a war- time activity into which any citizen should throw every last degree of en- ergy without considering the political implications of his action. Victory Loan bonds represent the common means by which all can harvest, in practical fashion, the inner prayer and wish for victory, The Victory Loan Campaign is sponsored by our government — our government until a new one is elected —and no effort should be shirked or evaded because of political consider- ations, The election date comes later, and any antipathy to the govern- ment should be expressed then, and not before, particularly in response to the Victory Loan appeal. There can be no let .down in our efforts on the home front. The prize is too great, and, in view of the superb organization and the hunian lives at stake, let no one on the home front do less than the last best effort. In that last fragile moment of reaching for victory, let it not be said 'that anyone on the home front falter- ed or failed, * *, NAZIDOM'S CRIMES One in this country cannot realize the crimes that the Nazis committed against civilization. These atrocities have been so great in number that to one in the distance they a9pear un- believable. In the United Kingdom they have been showing pictures of these acts on the part of the Nazi to the people, and so bad were they, that many could not remain in the theatres and many who stayed closed their eyes to blot out these scenes of horror. To relate these crimes is impossible here, but death in camps were ac- complished by shooting, gas and cre- mation and some prisoners were tor- tured by guards after their resistance had been lowered by starvation diet and regular floggings. In an effort to build their nation to be masters the Nazis did not overlook much, but what they failed to appraise was the unconquerable spirit of the people of the Allied Nations, * * Buy that Victory Bond NOW. * * Ernie Pyle, noted war correspond- ent and columnist, was killed at Iwo Jima. He is the 47th war correspond- ent to lose his life in action while gathering news for the home front. Pyle was tops in his field and was on his last war assignment.' He has been on every front in Europe and Africa. * * All eyes are turned toward San Francisco these days. As we go to press the deliberations of that all- important conference are getting under way. All democratic and peace loving people should pray for the success of this conference. -* * Adolf Hitler was silent on his 56th birthday. We can wager that he wishes now that he had stuck to paper hanging instead of trying to conquer the world. What a different situation Ste is in today compared with 1940, yes, even a year ago, The 'Allied noose is tightening around his throat.
