THURSDAY, MAY 3tJTH, 1940 Real Devotion to Democracy Canadians to-day are hein- asked 10 buy, War Savings ('ertificates. What does this ineair? If ineans this: That our answer ilih be the measure of our real devotion 10 de- nocracy. To freedom. We have been told that democracy is decadent. That our ideals of freedom are ineaningless. That our way of life cannot compel the devotion that goes to the total- itarian creed. \Var Savings Certificates can answer, and powerfully, to that indictînerit. To the extent that we buy them we wvi1l tell whether or flot devofion to demnocracv and liberty does exist; whether there exists the reality of democratic responsibility. of de- mocratic Ioyaltv, o% demnocratie unity. In France to-day the watchword is: Ad- vance or die. In Eîîgland Mr. Churchill exelaims: "I offer vou blood, tears. toil and sweat."' And lie adds: For ahi thaf Britaiîî mearîs. 1 appeal to you.. . We must save ourselves froin hie black night of barbar- ism. " In coming weeks. the people of this counîtry have the chance of showingY whether their thought of freedom's îeaning their understanding" of the meaning of Ibis ter- rible conflict is as deep and real as that of tlic peoples of Britaîn and France. The real challenge of 'War Savings Cer- tificafes is the challenge of whether the fibre of democracy is as strong as the fibre of dictatorship. The challenge of whetheî' the discipline of the lash is as powerful as, the discipline of freedom. Let Canadians, by buying these War Savings Certificafes, by answering, wif h al and the least of their means the great cr3- for help that .goes up, show how strong is the discipline of freedom. Let them deter- mine that if will be t'emembered In vears to corne that Canada did not vent its anger at brutality and injustice solely in words and gestures, but thaf it turned at least a part of il into sacrifice for freedom in free- dom's hour of dire need. Co-ordinate Tourist Effort The greatest tourist trek in world history is now starting. At every port of entry Americail visitors will shortly corne across the border to see Canada and Canadians at war, 10 get their extra "day in teri" free of charge, 10 visit and revisit our cities, lakes and playgrounds, says The Financiai Post. There is no need to stress the reasons why this year's tourist business is a vital part of Canada's war effort. For one fhing, we must have American dollars to figlit the war. Since we caui no longer borrow money iin the U.S., the American dollars mir fourisf visifors ivili exchange at the border 10 pay for their Canadian holiday ivill he a major source of funds with whiech ho pay for essential raw maferials whîch EUncle Sam sells us.
