THE POWER OF THE NATION,
Ten months .go a man named Nich-
olas Rorn'no11 was far
a ,t and away ::;the
richest man in the world. d, ac e ' 1 R k terlt,r,
Carnegie and all the Rothschilds roll-
eJ into ,one ma not ode-iv-atter
of
the wealth of this man,
wha awned in
his own ,pe,rson all the undeveloped
land's. mines ;and for•ests. of Russia
and about half the e undws;triad wealth
of all the Russias: For several months
now Nicholas has been poorer than
a Russian peasant; because he has the
peasant's food and •clothes, but not
the p'easant's liberty.
Why'
the(elaaiNa?e Nicholas tilled
Russia by 1 -Am, Anil ' the m,omen!t
Russia decided to have _ done with
1 -Am in favor of We -Will, it,llthe
power and wealth of Nicholas were
swept away just as }tau sweep, check
ers Off e board. He thought he was
the State. The State had given .haan
his power, (but (now' he is a'charighe on
the. State:
- We have no Nicholas Romanoff in
Canaria, But 'tlhae,.pla'wer of the nation.
is here W"heln .the nation ,'fixes its
signature to a 'document draw -,n in
favor of John Smith', that mare is sure
of his ;money:, In a' very little while
the nation ;af ,Cpm@.'dal in the person
of its Financle "Mtintisiter will be put-
ting it; *signature on scores of :thous-
ands of ;documents promilsin'g; to pay
maaey • at a future' date with interest
at 5;, per cent. T;eanporarily the. na-
tion needs the monjeyl•• The people
have it As a mere matter of .right
the State could seize that money along
with all other property, because it is
only .the State that makes money', But
the State robs Info man:, It inere]g
wants to use your wealth tot -help to
finance the war. Hence `the Canad-
ian Vilctiary Bonds are bepc g issued.
All the wealth and power of; the State
is behind the priolmise; to pay back
the -money . in due time, arid' you aro
as sure of. it as you are float? the sun;
will rise ts-mairiow.
Judging by what some; towns gave,
Exeter gave mighty little to the Red
Cross, but judging by, others, we; did
pretty well; ;but no person nor. com-
munity need "think that they didhalf
as well as 'they should ;have done,
when one- considdrs' what the boys
at the front have 1yeendoing; for the
last three years.( Many have laid
down their lives for us—and in the
meartime'wc are home in safety mak-
ing ;ni.oney.'

does Y anada Raise Moncy
by Selling Bonds?
ONDS are issued payable in ten or twenty years, as the case may be.
It means that repayment of the money will be spread over ten or twenty
-years instead of being raised by taxation to meet current expenditures.
To raise by taxation all the money as fast as it is needed to carry on
Canada's share in winning the war-, would be an unbearable burden upon
the people.
It would mean that more than a million dollars a day would have to be
raised right now.
But to raise money by selling Canada'
Victory Bonds means that those of the
next generation who will benefit by the
sacrificesthis generation is making;
-who will :.:share in the freedoms this
generation is fighting for and largely paying
for=will also pay their shale.
* •* *
And when you buy Canada's Victory
Bonds you make a first-class business in-
vestment in a security that is absolutely
safe, likely to enhance in value after the
war, and 'bearing a good rate of interest.
You help' the country by keeping 'open
the British market for Canadian products
and this helps the general welfarein which
you share;
s you givea personal pledge that you are
going to help to win the war.
Every man and woman in Canada can
help to win the war by buying Canada's
Victory Bonds. And Canada ' wants the
personal, individual interest and co-opera-
tion of every man and woman in the
country.
The buying of Victory B onds by the -
whole people unites them in a determination
to win the war.
Every purchase of Canada's Victory
Bonds is a blow for freedom against the
g
tyranny of German Kultur. ,
,Every bond sold is a new guarantee
that :.Canada . is in the war to the finish,
Until,- victory is .with the Allies and the
world has been made safe to live'in:
Every bond you buy is a new pledge
that Canada will remain true' to herself, the
Empire, the Allies and to freedom's cause.
So it is both patriotic and good busi-
ness to
And again, every Canadian who buys
a Victory Bond becomes a financial partner
or backer of -Canada in the war.
