The Canadian Patriotie Fund wau incorpor- ated at the last Auguat session of the Domini-on Parliament. Ris Royal Higliness, the Duke of Connauglit, Governor-General of Canada, is the President. Mr. Herbent B. Aines, M.P., >of Montrcal, is Honorary Seerètary. The Hon, W. T. White, Minister of Finanice, is Honorary Treasurer. 31-. J. Praier, Auditor-General of Canada, is the Auditor of the Fund. An Executive Committee, composed of repre- sentative mon fromn41il!parts of the Dominion,. determne the policy of thé Fund, »within the seope provided, by the Act of Incorporation. Its objeet is to see that no one in Canada, in the families of our soldfiers who have enlisted for active service, shail sufer want, and that the providing of the necessary funde for this purpose shail not rest with a fÏw, but that B V E R Y C A N A D I A N shail be given the privilege of doing, voluntarily, what he or she can. The Wardens of the Canadian Patriotie Fund have decided that the Fund shall be admin- istered on the following basis:- Every case te be investigated separately by a local comxittee and the exact requiremenîs of the family ascertained. With this information before them thé Lo- cal Committee determine what ecd family shal receive, using thse follôwing as a biais: A wif e, or widoweîl, mother dependent Upon the soldien, $1.00 per' day or $30 per nsonth. A child unden 5 years, 10c. per day or $3 -per montis.. A chld bctween 5 and ten years, 15c. per day or $4.50 per month. A child bctween ten and fiftcen years, 25c. per day or $7.50 per month. Thus a family cf a wife and thnce childreen of three, seven and thirteen yrears respcctively would receive a total of $45 per month. Othens according to the number and age of the childrcn. From this amount is deductcd what thie (a- 4iadian Governinent pays the wiveis of thse sol- diers (termed separation allowance), $20.00 per month, aIso aîîy other assstance, sucb as remit- tanee of rent, continuation of isagesp etc. The difference between the two amounts is thien paid out.pf the'Canadian Patniotie Fund. When soldiers are reported to have been kçiiled on to be missing after 'a battle, thse Governinent pay ceases forthwith. . In such cases the Patriotie Fund will'provide the necessary fmids to -loo1k after, their familles' welfare until sucis time ais' thse Government com- mences payrnent to them of-the. regular pension. This ls nQt juit a Wib movemetit, it ie na- tional ln scope. Some sinaîl municipalities and rural districts in Canada have sent large numbers of soldiers te the front. Some langer municipalities have sent few. Some poorer districts have contnibuted many soldiers, and some richer municipalities few in proportion to their population and wealth. If it remained with local municipalities' to provide for the1'amiies of the soldiers that had gone forwand, the bunden would faîl thse heavi- lest upon that municijpallty tint had already made the,. greatest *sacrifice in men, and the lightest upon tie ones that contributed tlie few- Io it not fair, therefore, that the strong should heip to bean the burden of the wenk 7 The soldiers who have enliuted are fighting for Canada and-"the Empire', not primarily for the miùsicipality f nom which they went. The Canadian Patriotie Fund lias been estali- lished for the purpose of providing adequately, on the saine basis, assistance to the fainily of every soldier f rom Canada, who lias enlisted for Active Service. -This Fund has been in operation for over nine menthe. It is now caning for approxi- mntcly Fif teen Thousand Familles at a mont hly expenditue f $300,000. The demands are on- tinually increasing.
