Yet he - above us aIl - is the anc ta shout for joy today. Is it not for him - and for millions of bright faces of his generation - that men have been willing ta suifer and ta, lay aside their freedom - bit by bit - so that one day they miglt have it complete, secure? Iven so-the fruits of Victory are not alorw for those toa young ta know the privations of war . . . mot alone for posterity. Here and now, men and women of aur generation - scarred and wearied by long, grinding years of war - shall know the blessings of a new-born day. This new day is for thc comrmon man. .. for greater social justice, for broader opportunity ta enjoy a richer, f uller hif e. No4 thinking citizen here in Canada, or in any land touched by war, would believe for a moment that ur prblems are past. The prospect ahead is no easy one ... Yet it cannot daunt the hardy stock of Canada - the men and women who carved this nation out of a wilderness, who through the years have fought the good fight as each emergency arose - down to the last Victory Loan . down to the last blood donation. No, the prospect is liard, but a new spirit is abroad. We Canadians, like ail our Allies who have fouglit this fight with us, have been chastened by the ordeal, and we are determiined - by the effort of the individual citizen . .. by the effort of the community - to bring a better, stronger, hoaithier world out of the raging storm through which we have passed. This is a day for cheering not simply for victory over dictatorship, but for the assurance we have of the dawn of a better day. This message is published as an express-ion of faith 'in the future of Canada by the Bank of Montreai, which bas been working with Canadians in all walks of if e since 1817.
