Challenge to Democratic ,Devotion
Canadians today are being aoked, to
buy war savings certificates.- What
does this mean? It -means this: That
our ansIver will be the measure of our
real devotion to democrat:se To free-
dom.
Vire have been told that democracy
is decadent. That our kleale of free-
dom are meaeingloss. That our way of
life cannot compel the devotion. that
goes to the totalitarian creed. , •
War fiavliaga certificates cap answer,
and powerfully, to that indictment. To
the extent that we buy them we will
Iiivhether or not devotion to democ-
racy and liberty dos exist; whether
there exists the reality' of democratic
responsibility, of stleinecratie' loyalty,

whether their thought of freedom's.

meaning of thls,terrible conflict, is as
deep and -real' as that of the peoples
of Itritain and France.
, The° real challenge, of wareavine-„s-
ceetificates is the challenge of whether- -
the fibre of democracy le AS strong AS
the fibre of dietatorship. The chal-
lenge of whether the discipline of the

of 'freedom.
Let Canadians, by buyiag these war
savinga sertificates, by answering with
all and the least of their means the
great cry for help that goes up, show
how strong IS the di_scipline of freedom.
Let them determine that it' will be
remembered in years to come that
Canada did not vent itS anger at
brutality and injustice solely in words
and gestures, but that it turned at lean
a part of it •Into eaeriflee for freedom
