The Parliament of Canada meets on January 21st. Themost momentous session in Canadian history begins in a few short
days. It is your Parliament. The members are the servants .of the people, not of any party, They represent every one in the
constituency which elected them. Each one of them needs your help as never before. Assert your democratic right to govern.
Tell your member what you think should be done and do so without delay.
There is one issue which overshadows all others, The Prime Minister of Canada. has told us what that issue is. These' are
his own words: "There is only one way to meet total war, and that is by total effort." 'We must maintain the Canadian army at
full fighting strength." The Leader of British democracy told the people of Canada what total effort means. These were Winston
Churchill's words: "In this strange, terrible world war theze. is a place for every onc, man and woman, old and young, hale and
halt. Service in a thousand forms is open. There is no room for the dilettante; for the weakling, for the shirker or the sluggard.
The mine, the factory; the dockyard, the salt sea waves. the fields to till, thehome, the hospital, the chair ofhe scientist, the
pulpit of the preacher—gram the highest to the humblest, the tasks are all of equal honor. All have their part to -play."
To fulfil that description of total effort is the first and foremost duty of the Parliament of Canada, The people of Canada
must be told what part they are to play. They cannot guess. Every manand woman, strong or weak; old or ,young, must be
guided, by the Government to the post where they can contribute most to victory. We are conscious of the substantial efforts
made throughout the war by the Canadian Government. We are anxious to assist them in making the vital decisions forced upon
them by the events of the past few weeks. 'We do not believe that the people of Canada consider that their Government or its
leader are in any way bound by undertakings given before the United States entered the war, This is no time for a referendum.
The responsibility rests squarely on Parliament. The war will not wait.
There is only one way to meet total war—,by total effort--that-is to mobilize all our manpower and material resources under
a pan of universal compulsory selective seryice. Those who can serve best on the farms must work on the farms. Those who
can serve best in the factories must work in the factories. And those best fitted to serve in the armed forces must be trained,
equipped, and available for service in Canada or overseasanywhere at any time. That is the only way that our farms, our factories.
and our armed forces, can wage total war. No half measures are consistent with national honor.
If you agree with that opinion then it is your duty to tell your member NOW that you want him to insist upon 'the im-
mediate adoption of such a plan. Tell him that you want the business of government, brought into Parliament where it belongs..
Tell him to inform Parliament, and through Parliament the whole of • Canada, that the people of his riding advocate and will sup-
port any measures, however drastic, which will assure the last ounce of effort of which they are capable. To Canada's Parliament,
which meets in a few short days, Mr. Winston Churchill said this: "The enemy has asked for total war. Let us be sure that he gets
it." Tell your member in the short time which still remains that you want to be sure that we do wage total war and that you
want him to say so in your behalf on the floor of Parliament.
There is an added reason why you must act immediately if you believe that democracy is government by the, people. Last
week, President Roosevelt told one hundred and thirty million people of the United States where their armed forces are going to
fight in this war. "As our power and resources are fully mobilized, we shall carry the attack against the enemy --we shall hit
him and hit him again. wherever and whenever we can reach him." We are partners with the United States in this struggle. We
signed a pact binding us to a common effort. National honor and the safety of our people demand that every man who wears the
uniform of Canada be ready at all times to go overseas to hit the enemy wherever and whenever he can be .reached. What a
shameful travesty of justice it would be if we approved of unity of military command and failed to establish unity of sacrifice be-
tween nations. Canada's honor is at stake,
The Committee for Total War urges you to act without delay. Send your member a telegram, a letter or a
postcard at once. This is your most important task. Your member represents you no matter what your party may
be. He is your voice in Parliament. When you put downthis newspaper, act at once. If you agree with the opinion
supported by this Committee, say so.
