All of us cannot fight. All of us—men, women and children—can do something towards winning the war.
Are we seeking that "something," or are we evading it? Are we looking for the "bit" we should do, or trying
to forget it?
Take the Canadian Patriotic Fund. It
has been created to care for the families of our
soldiers in those cases—and those only—where
need exists. Experience has shown that this
means in two families out of three. Up to
December 1, 1916, the people of Canada have
given $16,500,000 to the Fund.
That is generous giving, isn't it? But
the country is still at war; our armies are still
growing; the soldiers' families are still in need;
the Fund still must be maintained. And what
do we find: in every pal•t of the country men
crying that they have given enough to the
Fund—that Government should now take the
burden.
Given When enough! the Canadian
gn
lad in the trenches is dead -tired, ready to drop
in his tracks, does he chuck his job, declare he
has given enough, and call on Government to
get another man? Given enough! Is there a
man in Canada has given enough if women and
children are in need while he, the stay-at-
home, has a dollar to spare?
No! This Fund, above all funds, has
a claim on every citizen who is not, himself a
pauper.. The fact that Government has not
assumed responsibility for it is the fact that
makes every man responsible for it --even if
he thinks the Fund should be maintained by
'Government moneys.
GOVERNMENT SHOULD NOT CONTROL, BECAUSE,
rnment would have to treat all alike. The Fund helps only those in need. I:f Government paid the
he average sum paid by the Fund the extra burden on the country would be between eight
