the past, wars have brought
to with them a high ost of
living, ending with inflation.
This sapped the strength of
nations and added poverty and
injustice to the other tragedies
of war.
Later it has led to failing prices
and unemployment.
tydte
In this war, we Canadians are
determined to head off this
danger.
Ogg
We have done much to avoid
a repetition of the disastrous
price rises of previous 'wars.
We have paid higher taxes.
We have bought Victory Bonds.
We have severely limited profits.
We have put a ceiling on
prices. And to make it possible
to hold the ceiling, wages and
salaries have been controlled.
In' one way or another most
increased costs have been ab-
sorbed and very few passed on
to the consumer.
Holding the ceiling has been
a struggle. But the results have .
been worth while. From 1914
to 1919 prices rose 60%. Fromm
1939 to 1944 the rise has been
only 18%.
This effort of the Canadian
people has been successful
enough to be noted in other
countries.
But we must continue to hold -
the line. We need not let history
repeat itself. We can do better
We can a hadp—
By cutting down unnecessary
spending, and buying Victory,
Bonds instead,
•
By not' hoarding or buying k
black anarkets.
13y not taking advantage of
the war situation to press claim*
for higher prices, highelr wage
higher rents or higher profits:
