ONE PERSON OUT OF
EVERY TEN IN
CANADA
BOUGHT WAR BONDS.
The latest returns in the Victory
Loan ' campaign show a total of
782,711 subscribers, or one subscriber
for every tett people in Canada. This
establishes a new record with respeet
to the proportion of the population of
a country subscribing to its war
loans. The previous record was held
in Great 5ritain, where one person out
of every twenty-three subscribers to
the last War Loan, In the Liberty
loan campaign in United States,
bonds were sold to one person out of
every twenty-seven of the population.
Ii, many cities, towns and districts
in Canada, the proportion of the popti-
latiol buying Victory Bonds was even
higher than one in ten, In a number.
of cases it was as high ;as one in 'four.
The achievement in connection with'
Canada's Victory Loan, while prinmer-
ily due to the splendid spirit of patri-'
otism that pervades • the country, is I
another evidence of what may be ac-;
complished through press advertising
backed by an adequate selling organi-
zation,
Prior to the Victory Loan campaign
there were compartively few bond
buyers in Canada, The third Cana.•
dian War Loan of last spring, which
was the most widely distributee) bond
issue in Canada up to that time, had
Only 41,000 subscribers. The Finance
Minister deemed it essential that
many times that number should sub-
scribe to the Victory Loan. He as-
signed to the press the task of edu-
cating with respect to the. Loan the
great masses of the people who were
not bond buyers and in most cases
had only a very vague idea of the
meaning of the term "bond" as ap-
plied to securties.
For several weeks before the sale
of Victory Bonds commenced Canada's
need for money. to carry on the war
and to maintain her agricultural and
industrial prosperity was presented
to the people of Canada in display
advertisements in the press. Empha-
sis was placed in those advertisements
on the privilege and duty of every
Canadian to assist in the war (inton-
ing of his or her country, and upon
the fact that if Canada's linancial
•needs were to be met the great masses
of the people would have to buy Vic-
tory. Bonds, The meaning of a "bond"
and the security behind Canada's -
Victory Bonds were explained in
simple, every -day language. Similar
educational work was •dine voluntarily
by almost all newspapers and other
,publications through their ne\6s and
editorial columns,
By, November- 1 2th, when the sale
of Victory Bonds commenced, the
people had been educated very largely
to the need for the money, the secur-
ity behind the Loan and the reasons
why every. person who could possibly'
do so should buy one or more Bonds.
The. preparatory educational work in
the ess was followed up by personal
solicitation by a most efficient Domin-
ion -wide organization of personal
workers. Concurrently with that per-
sonal solicitation there appeared in
the press a series of "setting" adver-
tisements and duly of every Canadian
to buy Victoy Bonds, and many edi-
torials and news articles along the

'rhe press publicity created an at-
nlosphere and a knowledge of the
situation that in addition to securing
large numbers of subscribers without
personal solicitation made it possible
for the personal workers to do their
work quickly and effectively and with
infinitely greater results than could
!have been obtained without the edu-
cational, inspirational and selling act-
vertisements in the press.,
At the conclusion of the campaign
Sir Thomas White, in a telegram to
J. (1, Woods, President of Canadian
Press Association, Inc„ expressed his
sincere thanks for the tine spirit and
splendid energy shown by the press
