Canada is three thousand miles away from the sound of guns which are devastating Europe. The broad Atlantic Ocean rolls between us and the ruthless savagery of the German Armies. The strongest fleets in the world — British, American and Canadian—patrol the sea between us and the enemy. We have a great friendly nation, probably the richest and most powerful in the world, at our side. CANADA CAN. AFFORD HER SACRIFICES THERE This war is a mechanized war. We have the nickel ... copper ... lead ... zinc and other metals the war industries need. We have access to the iron. We can make the steel. We have the organized industries to fabricate these metals and make the trucks, and tanks, and guns, and planes, and the ships. We have skilled workers and the plants for mass production. Canada has the wheat and the food supplies. Let us count our blessings, and tighten our belts. Canada is rich—one of the richest countries per head of popula• tion in the world. Let us lend our strength to the utmost of our power. Our national future depends upon Victory. We must win to live. WILL BE FURTHER CALLS There have been many calls upon the people of this country for money since Canada entered the war at the side of Great Britain. 'here will be further calls. Let us face the future unafraid. Canada can carry the load. But every Canadian must shoulder his and her share. This is the most critical hour in our history. Let the future historians say of Canada, as they will say of our Mother Country: "This was their finest hour."
