Recognizing Nie pitfalls at her ex' penitence in the last war, Canada, on this. occasion, is, facing the problem' of 'war financing in lorthriglit man. ner. ICanadla's ilnarcial machinery has enabled, her to seta course a, the outset of the new world war that would have been n1rtuiliy impos slible in 1914. it will enable the Can- adian, Decple to avoid many of the demoralizing Consequences of war, and postwar readjustments, such as befell Canada. and anany other countries in the last great Condtict. This war is to be paid tor, in so .far as possible ae It is fought, rather than to hazard a repetition of in- flattonany price movements spiral- ling to an inevitable and expensive day of reokoniuug. Por the past 20 yeane, Canada and other countries halve been paying the price ot in- adequate machinery, lack of prece- dent and foresight in ftantncing the last war. Canada now has broad and comprehensive taxation system and the financial machinery requir- ed for exercisig the control that is neoessary to carry out a policy that will finance the heavy expenditures involved under wartime conditions without giving rise to unfortunate meladrjuetanenls and 'their inevit- able aftermath, In ,recent years, Canada has Pur- sued, a moderate policy of expansion In company with the 'United King- dom, Sevdden ands certain other countries. In eonsequeu•ce of that po:ioy, Canada was agile to reverse fete deflationary trend 01 the early depression years and to facilitate an expansion' in national .production and busine;s activity that has been more corleistent and prolonged than In many other countries, She has also affected a general reconstruc- tion of her debt through refuad'lug loans art lower interest rates and has. repatriated, [luring the last Eve years, over $900 millions of Can- adian debit 'head .abroad, The net 1esult has been to (ideot a substan- tial decrease in the cost' et Govern matt debt and to strengthen great- ly Canada's credit pnsiiion. The new war loan, like probably 011 loan, floated in Canada during this war, will be on a domestic bas- is. Canadians will provide the Prhnci- pal andreceive tntereet, The debt will be owed to ourselves in Can- adian fundi, and will, .therefore, not ghee rise to 'the dilficuit exchange problems and real burdens to the country ivltich are inherent in ex- ternal borrowing. Ini borrowing within our country, the Government hopes to see some of the real sav- ings of the people converted . into war loan bonds.

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 on 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. THE GOVERNMENT OF THE DOMINION OF CANADA MAKE YOUR DOLLARS FREEDOM of national wealth and income to particular groups of sections of the connrtry, which would be an unde- sirable featureof other methods of finaecing the war. In! announcing its taxation policy, the Government has pledged itself to the principle of equality of sacrifice on time basis of ability to pay, in its borrowing to supplement taxntdoon, ,the Govern- ment is making every endeavour to follow out this democratic principle, and by a widelsperad appeal to give eveny citizen an oppotttunity to melee a releoludionory ooniteihtution to the success ot the war effort by converting, lids savings into War Loan bonds. The loan is open to popular iu1ri10 .snheertption, Clearly the call is etorng, because the most emphatic dematnd is the moral obligation of every citizens to guard jealously the rights of treeclom and shoulder his share of the bonds just as thous - ends od othes are shouldering arms.
