compared with 15 of the national income which went into the war effort iln the fourth year of the last war every dollar of the current incoma of canadians that can be safely taken by taxation without causing real distress has been taken and this amount reaches little more than half of our current war costs the balance of the cost of the war must be raised fay voluntary loans the most important loans to help tht war effort are the small per sonal loans of arcummulated savuidfsty loans by large corporations will be secured without any campaign as there is no safer investment than a government bond the small investor who is monthly saving small sums of money usually prefers to keep these in the bank account this is the money which should go into war bonds you run no risk by investing it as in the event of any ungentitwed your bond can be cashed at par and accrued interest at any tdne if you keep the money in the bank you might be tempted to spend it for articles which should not be bought until the war is over the government wishes to borrow this money from you rather than borrow it from the banks by postponing your desire for household goods until the war is won you not only help the war effort but you are doing something which will help employment in the postwar period you benefit too because your money will buy more goods when goods are plentiful in the post war period buy all the bonds voit can buy now and pudge your future ravings by buying on the instalment plan this column will be discontinued during the loan ca terra cotta there was a large attendance at the
