THE "WHY" OF VICTORY LOANS
Why are the people of Canada —
merchants, farmers, manufacturers,
wage - earners, everybody — being
asked to invest in war bonds ?
War always has been an expensive
undertaking. Modern war, with its
requirements of mechanized equip-
ment for vast armies, is infinitely
more expensive than wars of the
past, There are two main methods of
meeting this expense -- taxes and
borrowing, As we all know, taxes
have already been increased until
they have reached what is considered
the higesi. possible peak. There re-
tains borrowing — and this is the
reason for the successive Victory
loans. Borrowing can be a dangerous
expedient — for the country as a
whole as well as for an individual —
and to maintain a sound financial
structure for our country it is impera-
tive that as large a proportion as
possible of the necessary borrowings
conte front our own people, and be
spread as widely as possible among
all our people. Up to the preseut
time rennin has made an enviable
record one of the best, if not the
(test. in the world — in maintaining a
stabilized economic. position, and
this has been trader possible by the
magnific'ent response of out. people to
the seveeral war loans.
Failing the support thus given, out
government would have had to resol'
to other means of raising the money
to meet its financial needs, and such
methods almost certainly would have
resulted in inflation — which means
that your dollar next year night be
worth only fifty cents, that the value
of your wages, your insurance or
outer investments, of your income
from any source, would fall to a frac
tion of their present value.
To avert such a situation, there-
fore, it is absolutely imperative that
every person with an Interest in our
country's welfare should do every-
thing in bls power to assure the suc-
cess of the Victory loans.
I For those who have not the money
on band to pay cash in full for a
bond, various plans have been work-
ed out, There is the official instal-
ment plan, older which you pay
down ten per cent of the amount of
the bond and your bank will carry
the remaining ninety per cent for six
months at an interest rate of three
per cent.. As you get. three pet' cent
on your bond front the Government
during the same time you are not
anything out of pocket; in fact you
have something to the good. especial-
ly if you can make further payments
within the term of six months. An-
other instalment plan calls for pay -
Mettle et the first of each month; and
for farmers or others whose money
does not come ht at regular intervals
there is still another plan called the
rural deferred payment method.
Theis stay be some special eh'eum-
-stunees not covered by qtly one of
these plans. In this case, you are
advised to consult the loan canvasser
"r your hanker. either of w'hint will
'sprain limy terms of payment may
be arranged to meet your conveni-
ence, Reno—tabor. 95 down will put
yott en the cv;ty 1,1 ttu' ott'ner:atili of.
a Roe bend.
Patrioti-nt and sound business
sense both urge that every Canadian
make his utmost effort at this time
to put money in bonds that will be a
seotrity for the future. The gnvern-
ntent urges everybody to keep itis
bonds until their maturity, but if for
any reason you shout(' need the
money you ran at any time tarn your
bonds into cash at a gond price.
Above all, we must, not forget that
in supporting the Victory loan we are
backing up the boys in the armed
services — tine boys of win- own towns
and townships who are giving their
best years --- perhaps life itself — in
our behalf, in order tbat despotism
and rn'uelty may he put down, and
that liberty and decency may survive
in titre world.

associated with this war,” said Mr.
Gardiner.
"In . all effort to feed Canadians,
Aateeleatt tt'oopa and workers in Can,
oda, Wren of the air training plan in
Canada, sailors on ships leaving our
shores and assist in feeding our Said -
!ors and allies overseas, especially in
Britain. Canada's farm production
campaign has reaeiteti heights which
are marvelled.
"The number or hogs marketed In
1.942 was about double that of 1938,
Continuing Mr. Gardiner said that
,these figures indicate two things;
first that there has been a remark-
able increase in volume, and second
that there has been some improve-
ment in price. "I am not going tc at-
tempt to convince you that this, is
sontetliiug to be satisfied with. No
amount of money in return for pro-
duction will repay for the effort and
sacrifice which this war has called
^ upon fanners in common with others
to endure. I do wish, however, to
pass on to you the thanks of the I311.-
tish government and of the Canadian
government for the wonderful results
you have obtained.
"At the end of the second year of
war we were t convinced that unless
we could increase the production of
feed in Canada we could not continue
to increase production of livestock
and livestock products further, We
put forth a special effort to obtain
this production and with the help of
the weather had tate highest produc•
tion of grain in our history,
"In 1943 the yield has been greatly
reduced but with the carryover from
1942 there is no general shortage of
feed. In Ontario, however, farmers
have experienced a most difficult
year. Production of teed is down and
you are attempting a greatly in-
creased production of livestock pro-
ducts, We can guarantee you that the
feed is available in addition to any
we may export to finish all your live-
stock. Every possible effort is being
made to get it shipped east and I
think we shall succeed. The grain is
being supplied to the dealers at the
same cost as a year ago. Milk is
bringing more, cattle ttre bringing
more than at this time a year ago.
Hogs and eggs are also bringing
more, Any changes which are made
in the future will be to improve the
position still further.
"We are, therefore, still hoping
and expecting that you will (told the
line you have established in product,
tion, We are not asking you to im-
prove upon it although we believe it
will be to the benefit of everyone in-
cluding the farmer if it can be done.
"If we can hold it we will be im-
proving the chances of victory and
we shall at the same tine be improv-
ing the financial position of the farm
to which many of our sons will
return.
"We are now attempting to make
as many as possible of our arrange-
ments for a period of at least two
years. Our arrangements with regard
to wheat are on that basis. And on
hogs, I hope we can snake an agree-
ment on cheese next spring on that
basis. Those commodities Iilee beef,
butter and eggs which are mostly
consumed in Canada tuust be safe-
guarded against a slump in returns to
farmers.,,
In The Days
Of The Camel
On April 1, 111.13, the R,A,F. was
twenty-five 1 -ears old. A jubilee inev-
itably demands a reference to the
experimental clays of the first World
War and to the technical advance
shown since—an advance in which
the R.A.F. has always kept ahead.
At the outbreak of the last war,
flying was so unlike flying today as
to be almost a different business. Yet
climbing the other day from the
cockpit of a Spitfire (I hadn't really
begun to feel the passage of the
years until I found myself doing 326
miles an hour at 15,000 feet), :I re-
flected that to anybody with an en-
thusiasm for flying the sensation and
thrill were the same in a plane of
1016 as in one of 1043.
Early in the 1914-18 war all the
protection we had against the weath-
er was a tiny windshield, We flew
swatched in sweaters and mufflers
and were still bitterly cold, Just the
same you knew you were flying. I
don't have tine same feehing today
with all the mass of instruments and
dials.
We flew by sight and sound then.
The horizon was ahead and the en-
gine cowling—you hoped ---was glued
to it; then you were flying level, If
the horizon rose, you were diving. If
it disappeared, you were climbing. It
was almost as simple as that, In a
fog or mist you judged by the sound.
If the wires sang, you were diving;
When the singing died away you
were climbing.
jThe pilots were almost,completely
dependent on good weather. We us-
ed to say that we wouldn't go unless
the flag was flat along' the flag post
---in other words, when there wasn't
a breath of wind. We used to stick
our hinds out from the bedroom
windows and say with a great deal
of assuranee, "No hying today."
Today pilots take ort into, out of
and across any kind of wind. Dark-
tess and fog are not tine hazards
Ithey were. When that most precious
man,the flight sergeant, says, "She's
okay, Sir:" the pilot knows his en-
gine will take hint wherever his or-
ders carry him, In the last war we
never knew when our engine was
'going to cut out. Taking off and
landing were 'terrific hazards.
It was a long time before we got
any real armament. We weren't sitt-
ing behind an elaborate screen of
machine guns and cannon, My own
armament consisted of an old French
carbine and a trouser -pocketful of
, single rounds. It was a mighty cold
business tearing oft the flying gloves,
fumbling for the rounds in the pock
-
i et, sticking the round in and work-
ling
ork-ling the bolt. When you had done
that you leaned over the side to take
aim, What a difference from press-
ing the button in it Hurricane or a
Spitfire!
I was an observer then. The pilots
couldn't move around enough to use
a carbine, but I've known thein to
take a crack with a revolver. Nor
did I ever do much damage. To get
a shot at a German aircraft at all,
you had to be flying ahnost side by
side, on the same level and at the
same speed. If you could maneuver
into that position, then you would
blaze away until one or the other of
you pulled away. It always finished
like that in my experience,
On my first battle reconnaissance
my job was to let headquarters be-
hind the line know how an attack
went. We flew up and down no -man's
land when our fellows went over the
top. We were about fifty feet above
their heads and could hear the noise
of battle. As each wave went over, I
tapped out in Morse the distance of
their advance—a very rough-and-
ready business compared with the
service of today's reconnaissance air-
craft provided with radiotelephone
and modern cameras,
13efore I was allowed to go home
to train as a pilot, they sent me to
a quiet part of the line for a test. I
had thirty minutes of flying on each
of three mornings—a simple busi-
ness of describing five figures -of -
eight and landing in the neighbor-
hood of a large circle on the ground.
I then had to climb to five hundred
