OW the only way we can possibly live up to that obligation is by going with- out in order that our soldiers For the money we waste is not money at all--it is equipment, clothing, shot and shell that are ur- gently needed in France.

What happens when we fail to saver A pullon labor by the Govern- ment in one direction and a pull on labor by. the people in the opposite direction. Hundre&&§ of millions of dollars are of no use to the country if goods and services ] can be secured only to the extent of eighty millions of dollars. So we must do every- thing in our power to release both goods and labor for the purposes for which Canada needs them. HETHER it be food, coal, wool, steel, leather, labor or transportation, the result in all cases is the same. ~ Whoever competes with the nation by freely satisfying his own desires, selfishly appro- priates to his own use that which is so urgently required for our fighting men in France.
