If is going to demand more effort, more sacrifice and far more cliange in our daily lives . . ." «r . HON. W, L MACKENZIE KINO ALREADY the pattern and pace of life in Canada ' have undergone a profound change. Gaps in employment are rapidly filling up. Some 350,000 Canadians who were unemployed before die outbreak of war are now employed. Another 200,000 are with our armed forces. Factories, which until recendy were turning out goods for civilian consumption, have been transformed into humming arsenals, pouring out in- struments of war. Night and day shirts nave oecome the rule rather than tke exception. But the peak of effort is not yet in sight. m In 1941 still more factories will switch to war produc- tion . . . new plants will be established, thousands more will be employed. This rising ride of activity must continue until we reach the flood of eflFort when every Canadian will be employed and working to his utmost, every possible square inch of plant will be utilized, every wheel will be whirring in the race we are waging against time and the enemy. More men are working . . . working longer hours . . . making more munitions . . . earning more money . . . producing more goods . . . putting more money into circulation. Most Canadians are sharing in this in- creased national wealth â€" have extra dollars in their pockets. The effort the Prime Minister calls for is gaining momentum, but many Canadians, as individuals, have not yet felt the real pinch of sacrifice. Canadians of all classes are sharing tax burdens, but it must be admitted that up to date the larger part of the money needed for Canada's war effort has come from business firms and individuals with large incomes. They are paying high taxes. They have already invested heavily in War Loan Bonds, (NEW YEAR'S EVE. 1940) This Is not enough. The plain truth is that Canada's rapidly expanding production for war purposes will require increasing sums of money. That is why the Prime Minister warned Canadians in his New Year's broadcast that the year ahead demands, more effort and more sacrifice. Every man, woman and child is asked to lend. Every dollar you lend will help to put another man in a job . . . making more munitions. Every, dollar you lend may save a soldier's life . . . help to shorten the war. Small wage earners must carry their share of the burden, too. No one need go without necessities, but you are urged to forego the purchase of unnecessary articles . . . however small the cost ... no matter how well you are able to pay for them . . . which take labour and material away from the great task of providing goods needed to win the war. This is your war. Everything you have . . . everything you believe in ... is now at stake. This is a aiessage to you ... a challenge to every Canadian ... a call to the colours ... a call for volunteers. Be sure to make provision to pay your Inconve Tax â€" payment is made easier by the new instalment plan. But be prepared to do more â€" budget your earnings to make sure that you will have money available to buy War Savings Certificates and to subscribe for War Loan Bonds. You will help Canada â€" you will helj^ yourself. fttColc^ Minister of Hnanc* / WORKS&VE-LENDv^;^ J^ -jssatt mj/Sk MH
