IN a World of dreary blackouts, with all
its War sufferings, the Christmas Star of
Hope and Peace shines on --- a prophecy
of what shall be and a symbol ,of that
which free men still suffer and strive.
May its gleam lighten all the world this
glorious Yuletide Season.

WE MUST,HOLD Till LINE!
L
On the home front the battle against inflation is
now the most critical of all.
The winning of this battle will contribute much
to winning the war.
It will contribute more than all else towards the
solution of post-war problems.
• •
The purpose of Price Control is to prevent infla
tion. Its purpose is to protect and maintain a basic
standard of living. -
A higher money income will not be of any act -
vantage if, because prices are going up, our
money buys less and less.
To win the battle against .unemployment in the
post-war period, we must first of all win the
battle against inflation.
• • •
Salaries and wages are a large element, often the
largest element, in the cost of everything we buy.
If the Price Ceiling breaks down, in the long run
all stand to lose.
We must hold the line against inflation to assure
victory in war.
We must hold the line to provide a solid founda-
tion on which, after the war, to build a greater
and a better Canada.
