The War Savings
• In Great Britain
By Basil P. Blackett, C, B.
The National War Savings Com-
mittee, appointed by the Chancellor of
the Exchequer in February, 1916, bad
three aims:
1. To explain to all classes the uec
essity for saving during the war.
2. To create a country -wide organi-
zation to preach war savings and pro-
viding facilities for landing small sums,
S; To encourage as many people as
possible to hold Government securities
and to offer them the newly invented
War Savings Certificate
Theoanipaign wasfounded on the
simple economic truth that to - spend
money means to melte someone work
for you, and that anyone who spent for
his or her private purposes more than
was absolutely essential for health and
efficiency was using up "someone's work
and making it more difficult for the
Government to find people to do work
needed to win the war.
The Oommittee's first effort was to
give wide publicity to this truth and to
encourage or ebonite every member of
the community into contributing his or
her part by private self.rlenial,
It then began to organize the country'
It established local War Savings Com-
mittees to
om-mittees-to cncotirg° and supervise, and
War Savings Associations which banded
their members together to become 'ie-
gulag savers and buy War- Savings
Certificates through their Association:
The War Savings Certificates was an
entirely new form of Government seou-
rity It combined the advantages of

The'Nattonal War Savings Com-
mittee in Great Britain does not mean
to let its work come to an end with
the end of the was,, indeed the vig-
onus War Savings Assoc ations and
local committees would not permit
this ei'en if the Central Committee were
to alaken its efforts, The -end of mili-
tary activity has not ended the need
for saving. This is of.00nree:as true in
Canada as the United Kingdom. The
work needed to win the war has indeed
been provided—the goods have been
.delivered—but the burden of paying for
them remains. For 4.i years the Brit-
ish Empire has not only stopped pro-
iirling capital for new developments,
but has also had to be sparing of re-
pairs and renewals to its existing plant
If the burden of the war debts is to be
lightened and if work is to be found for
the returned soldier, capital must be
provided to the machine of isduetry
into order and keep it in activity, and
capital can only be created by caving,
The poet -armistice motto of the War
Savings Committee in Great Britain is
"Spend wisely", Every bit saved and
invested becomes capital which will be
used for reproduction' purposes, and
will provide others with work.
In Canada I understand that the
money raised by War Savings Certi-
ficates will be used directly for recon -

a rate of interest as any British Govern
went security, absolute freedom from
income tax, and, of being convertible
into cash at any time.
After a discouraging start, when war
saving was universally unpopular, the
campaign succeeded beyond the highest
expectations On the first of January,
1919, there were in Great Britain over
2,000 War Savings Committees, flour-
ishing and active self-governing bodies
so distributed that there was one with-
in easy reach of every :inhabitant.
They supervised over 50,000 War Sav-
ings Associations, The total number
of War Savings Certificates sold exoeed
ed 275 000,000 andleas than 10,000,000
had bean cashed. s. omething over
£400,000,000 lied been contributed
through War Savings Certificates and
at least one-third of the 46,000,1100
inhabitants of Great Britain had be-
come holders of Government securities.
The success of the War Savings
Committee was such that iii January
1917, it woe called on to place its or-
ganization at the disposal of the Trea-
sury for conducting the, campaign for
the War Loan of January and February
1917, when oloso en to £1,000,000,000
was suboribed, During the spring end
sttmtner-of 1917 it conducted the Food
Savings Campaign which preceded the
the introduction of the rationing system

Toronto Letter
Dear Nowt+— - -
I go up to Queen's Park once in a
while to hoar the debates in Pariia.
nuant, Premier Heart is a lice kind-
ly looking person with a touch of mel-
ancholy in his cucutenance which
appeals to sympathy while the leader
of the opposition, Mr. Protldfoothaa a
tinge of melancholy in his voice, This
'gentleman is too well known in Huron
County to require further. description.
He certainly has gained many genuine
friends among Conservatives by his
active efforts in behalf of the Union
Government at the last Dominion elect
ion. The present Ontario Government
do very welt but like all Governments
they have made mistakes. One of
these is by promising large sums of
money for roads at the request of the
motor leagues. Automobile builders
and other auto fiends who pr stand
that it is to help the farmer instead of
the joy rider. I believe that a large
majority ofti'e farmers do not want
these millions of dollars spent in that
way now that there are so many oblig-
ations to meet which have been caused
by the war,
But I believe I started out to talk
about Temperance and Prohibition and
1 think I can safely say that if the
Hearst Government is defeated at the
next election the ship will be wrecked
on the rook of prohibition. - Some of
your gentle readers may ask why is
this? Well Tory hotel keepers with
many friends and hangers on will vote
against the Government, They know
that the leaders of the Grit party pro-
fessed prohibition, and quis with that,
but the Government which placed it an
thea Statutes as law will be made to
suffer by these people, Then there is.
the Reform prohibitionists -whd will
just vote for their party and make pro-
hibition a secondary consideration I
did purpose giving my own personal
opinion but will not do ao at present.

She League of the Empire from ite
headquarters in London, England, has
ever since its foundation in 1901,
performed a. distinct imperial service
by linking the Overseas Dominions with
the Motherland through the - schools,
and by Imperial Teachers' Conferences
etc. During the war it bee made an
enviable record by the hospitalities
courtesies shown to ova- seas men visit-
ing in London; and plans as a War
Memorial the establiahment of a resid-
ential Club House where Overseas'
teachers may find a weloomo when vis-
iting at the heart of "Dear Old Blighty"
In view of the likelihood of the post-
. Imperial Conference of Teachers
being held in' Toronto in 1921, as a
feature of the work of the League, it
is fitting at this time that Ontario
teachers should take advantage of the
privileges offered by the Ontario Coun-
