On. October 22nd, Canada's xiinth. Victory loan will be' launched.
Probably this :is the last.loan to ,be -raised by thee, eXisting War 'Finance
Organization`. 'Certainly there . will not be another Government loa
for a year.. •
Even t lou `h the w.s.r is. over,' even • through ' expenditure$ have
, been 'greatly :reduced, :there is still need, for 'vast revenues,
xn the *nature of the ease,,, this ninth, loan is for a larger
obje'cti`•e than any previous loan, . Huron,. County's° share #s
$4;170,000; an increase of 32. Per cent„ over the last loan.
We, cannot face the prospect Of raising such, a large amount
with' 'any ,careless optimism. There is no reason for fearing that
it cannot be"'done, but, there are many reasons for knoWing that.
this time our Victory loan ' organization will have •to make a more
vigorous' innpaet than ,it . hasever' nte,,de sibefore, and the people of ,
=Huron will have to make a, mire substantial response than ever..
before, • ' -
t I do not hide my feeling of urgency and anxiety. Rather I.
want to impart to, every Victory loan worker and to every Huron
citizen that -sense of urgency and anxiety4
rt know that we have never failed before; Mit this tiflie there
are ,different factors in the case, and the only guarantee of success
tliat we hgye is in the diligence and : determination of our leaders
and in the loyal support of • the people. It is not to be thought of
that Huron Covuty will fail in this last Victory loan, but it will
succeed only if there -is a great rallying of interest all over the county.
With. the War over and victory wan, and •our boys coining home,
the stage is -all' set for a grand - climax to CanAda'd titanic effort,
and, at a different- level, with Great Britain and the United States
already offering lower, interest rates, the wise buyer will not miss
this ,chance of a sound three per cent. investment,
Now All together -,for •the lust and biggest heave.
