Tthe past, wars have brought:
'1 with them. a high cost of..
living, ending mIth inflation. • •
This sapped the strength of
nations and added poverty and
injustice to . the other .tragedies
of war:

Later it has led to falling prices
and 'unemployment., •
' In this.war, we Canadians are
determined-, to • head • off this
danger.
• We•.have'done much to avoid
repetition of the disastrous
price wises of previous wars.
We have paid higher takes.
We have bought Victory Bonds.
We have severely limited"profits.
'am
We have put a ceiling, on
prices. Andto make it possible
to hold the ceiling, .• wages and
salaries have been controlled.
•1n one way or another most
increased costs have been ab,
sorbed .and 'very few passed . on
t� the consumer..
;r.
Holding the ceiling has been
a struggle. But the results have
been wprth while. From 1914
. to 1919 prices rose 6O%-. Froin._
1939 to"1944 the rise has been
only 13%..
This'
..• effort of the Canadian
people has been successful
enough to ' 'be , noted in other
countries. . -
t�.
But we must continue to hold
the line. We need not let history
repeat itself. We can d461 better.
,ny
We can all help—
By cutting down unnecessary
spending, and buying Victory
Bonds„ instead.
By not ' hoarding or buying in
black markets.
By not taking advantage of
the war situation to press claims
for higher prices, higher wages,
higher rents or higher profits.
