Thursday December 23 d, 1-943 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.
