of us as canadians to want to discover for ourselves what the rest of the world is like to plan for that some day when well take a trip thats why it must be part of our planning now to make sure such pleasant things as trips are possible in the postwar world and theyll be possible only if we fight against inflation figs now to keep canadas dollar worth a full dollar why is now so important be cause now civilian goods are scarce money is plentiful now is the time we must guard againsx paying more than things are worth against black markets against buying more than we need or goods we dont need now is the rime we must support rationing and price controls up to the present weve kept our dollar sound and we can continue to do so if we keep up a strong steady fight against inflation if we fail in this fight prices will rise wages will never quite catch up soon youll pay perhaps a dollar for a quarters worth of goods i and that means your dollar is worth only a quarter thats inflation and after inflation comes de pression depression means neither you nor anyone else in canada will have trips youll be lucky if you have a job so for our own sakes for the sake of returned men for our children lets never relax our straggle to keep canadas dollar worth a full dollar rfarihi nawmo otdumvr orrajuv make this pledge today i pledge myself to do my port in fighting inflation by obtarvlnfl
