UP to date the War has cost Canada about $700,000,000.
Canada has gpent in Canada over $400,000,000 on her own account._
Canada has spent in Canada on behalf of Great Britain over $300,000,000..
What Canada spends for Great Britain is really loaned to Great Britain
and will 'be repaid or credited to Canada later on. -
Great Britain needs so much ready
cash to finance her own expenditures. at
. home:for herself and for our Allies that she
must buy off credit from Canada, and from
every other co-imtry where she can get
credit.
Of course Great -Britain's- credit is so
good thatother countries; in order to get her
trade, are quite as willing to give her credit
as we are in Canada. - -
Canada wants to help Great Britain
not only because Canada wants Britain's
trade but because we are Canada.and she is
Great Britain—both. members of the same
great Empire, kin .of our- kin, our mother-
land. •
•
Ior _Canada ,it is both a filial and
patriotic duty ...to, supply Great.....BritaM's
war needs and remember, her needs are our:
needs. Also it is in -Canada's self-interest
to supply those needs and thus keep open
a market for our products..
* * *
Now, Britain needs our wheat, our -
cheese, cattle, hogs, and many manufac-
tured articles.
Canada also needs many of these things
—between the two it amounts to more
than a million dollars a day in cash.
And the producers must he paid in
cash. --
_ Neither Caatcda. nor Great Britain
. could go o a Canadian \ farinet and buy
, his wheat. or his cattle on credit.
The farmer 'and all other prociticers
Might be, ever so willing to, give , their
country credit but they could -not do it
because, they have to pay cash for wages,
for rent, materials, etc. They mtt,,t- be pad -
in cash, or its ectuivalcnt.
So Canada, says to Great 1.32":-itain :—"I -
will --lend you the money so that you can
pay cash to Canada's producers for what
you want.
"I will borrow this mOney from our
own people just as you boftow thoney from
your people. '
"I will also borrow from the people of
Canada money to pay cash for all the pro-
dttcts that Canada, as well as Great Britain,
needs in Canada."
- That is Canada's practical, patriotic
part in helping to win the izvar.
1.7tit;thbut this credit the Canadian pro-
ducer could not sell to Great Britain, and -
without these Canadian products the war
would be prolonged. -
_
So it is necessary for Canada to give
to Great Britain the credit in order that
Canada's own producers, who need a rnarket,
will have one; and- in order that Great
Britain which needs the products to --win the
war, willetthem.
* *
Now how does Canada get the money
by which both Canada and Britain can pay
cash for Canada's products?
By borrowing it from the people of
•Cafiada through the- sale of Canada's
Victory Bonds to be offered in November.
That is why Canada's Victory Bonds
are offered to the people—to raise tnote3r
tohelp to finish the war.
