TflUBbTON '';rpwpw« e m ^ â- .t- 4' w 5 t -fS^t'.- Why Canada Needs More Money TIP to date the war has cost Canada about $700,000,000. Canada has spent in Canada over $400,000,000 on her own account. Canada has spent in Canada on behalf of Great Britain over $300,000,000. What Canada spends for Great Britain is really loaned to Great Britain and will be repaid or credited to Canada later on. Great Britain needs 'so much ready cash to finance her own expenditures at home for herself and for our Allies that she must buy on credit from Canada, and from every other country where she can get credit. Of course Great Britain's credit is so good that other countries, in order to get her trade, are quite as willing to give her credit as we are in Canada. Canada wants to help Great Britain not only because Canada wants Britain's trade but because wc are Canada and she is Great Britain â€" both members of the same great Empire, kin of our kin, our mother- land. For Canada it is both a filial and patriotic duty to supply Great Britain's war needs and remember, her needs are our needs. Also it is in Canada's self-interest to supply those needs and thus keep open a market for our products. • • • Now, Britain needs our wheat, our cheese, cattle, hogs, and many manufac- tured articles. I Canada also needs many of these things â€"between the two it amounts to more than a million dollars a dav in cash. And the producers must be paid in cash. ' â-  Neither Canada nor Great Britain could go to a Canadian farmer and buy his wheat or his cattle on credit. The farmer and all other producers might be ever so willing to give their country credit but they could not do it because they have to pay cash for wages, for rent, materials, etc. They must be paid in cash, or its equivalent. So Canada says to Great Britain; â€" "I will lend you the money so that you can pay cash to Canada's producers for what you want. "I will borrow this money from our own people just as you borrow money from your people. "I will also borrow from the people of Canada money to pay cash for all the pro- ducts that Canada, as well as Great Britain, needs in Canada. ' That is Canada's practical, patriotic part in helping to win the war. Without this credit the Canadian pro- ducer could not sell to Great Britain, and without these Canadian products the war would be prolonged. So it is necessary for Canada to give to Great Britain the credit in order that Canada's own producers, who need a market, will have one; and in order that Great Britain which needs the products to win the war, will get them. Now how does Canada get the money by which both Canada and Britain can pay cash for Canada's products? By borrowing ' it from the people of Canada through the sale of Canada's Victory Bonds to be offered in November. \ That is why Canada's Victory- Bonds are offered to the people â€" to raise money to help to finish the war. i i "Canada must keep her shoulder to the wheel even though it be a chariot of fire,'' and the way for Canada to keep her shoulder to the wheel is by buying Canada's, Victory Bonds â-  tftxt w«ek this space will tell why CaiiadH raises money by selling Canada's Victory Bonds iMucd by Cmaadft's Victory Loan Committee t« co-operation with th« Mioipler of Kinancc e( the Dominion of CaoKda. $ It ^^ ^;4 i 4 ei Don't Miss the Point ! There is » in«u in thlu pnrt of the wurld who represonts, to our way of thiuklnK, a pretty ^ood average of human nature. Whenever the preacher in his church delivers a very hot sertnou against some special kind of sin, this man ^eta enthus- iutiu <ind v;oe8 around to the vestry to tell the preacher what a fine sermon it was. Then he goes home and repeats it to hia brother, and they talk over the points and the people the sermon hit the htrdost. But this particular man never | seea when the sermon hits him. Karly next month the btKiiest public ciiiipai^n ever pur on in Canadu will be opened to get subscriptions for the fourth Canadian war loan, the Victory Loan. The thing people in this district mus'' bfar iu mind is : that the appeals i>re directed to each and every one of thooi. It is everybody. The little sermons which will be "preached" In the advertis- ing shoula not be taken as hints to the wellt«d) people only. Every man aud woman should watch foe ihose advertise ments aud start wow to gather up the necessary money to buy either a fifty or a hundred or a five hundred or a thousand dollar bond. In the United States there were about 4 subscribers to ihe first American loan out of every 100 persons They only received 3*%. In Canada for the I.wt wirloftu there were only about ♦ 1, 1 >00 subscribers or say 4 in every 700. Vet in Canada the iiitereRt w^is much higherâ€" on the victory bonds that will probably be iss ued to yield about Sji"'^. The first ihiuij anyone should do, in our opinion, is to tet rid of the Idea that there is »ny sacrifice involved in invest- ing in this loan. 1; is true that the patriotic spirit is appealed to »iid it is equally true tlnu a ureat iind geueriiu^ respons-j is expected on that gn-und. But the new war loan is a strainhtwuy business pnpositi.m : safe, profitable -tmi convenient. Kvery mtn ,ind every woman with its much as lifty dollars i» spare should own one of these new bonds and not only that, hut should help lu show otheis the worth of these bonds by ro iiiiniending them everywhere. The readers of this |i»per are smjouj? ihe mosi thrifty, prosi>eMus and public spirited in the Dominion. When the subsorip'i. ns to tho Victory Ltnn are added^ip fnmi the various districts and sub-distTicts v e e.xpect them to show that this pmt of the great Dominion ha.s been true f.i its traditions and just to its opportunities.
