Navy, says: "There is one inâ€" gredient in national defence that transeends all others. It is born 3f the heartsâ€"of our people and it may be called National Character. Without character and a deepâ€" seated moral armament bred into the fibre of our citizens, no matter in what walk of life they may perâ€" form their tasks, there will be little worth defending." War is a revealing thing. Like anâ€"xâ€"ray, it shows symptoms in the body of a nation which in time of peace are not always so obvious.

It is a grim, deadly business and your answer to the enemy who would enslave us if he is not stopped dead in his tracks. On Monday the canvassers startâ€" ed knocking at the doors asking you to buy Victory Bonds. A knock at the door in Nazi Europe means the Storm Troopers or even worse â€"â€"the Gestapo. The salesman‘s knock is your opportunity to strike at the hated tyrant just as surely as if you sent a bullet crashing through the head of the Nazi foe. est sources of money is in the bank deposits of all Canadians. It has been said rightly or wrongly that if all the money at present on deposit in banks were turned into Victory Bonds we would reach our objective of $1,100,000,000 in less time than it takes to write a cheque. Now the government ha% to get this money and if it can‘t get it one way it must of necessity get it in another way. Don‘t let us fool ourselves. This war has to be won.

This does not mean that everything is paid for at the time of the transaction. It does mean, however, that Canada has to v for what she gets when she gets itâ€"even if she has to borrow from her people to do it.

The great majority of these comments were variations of the general theme: "We must share what we have with all." | This eightâ€"to.one vote of apâ€" proval held good throughout all sections of the population. In no one of the various subâ€"groups into ‘which the population is dividedâ€" men and women, young, middleâ€" aged and elderly, wealthy, middleâ€" class and poorâ€"was there recorded a higher proportion of disapproval than thirteen per cent, and in no group was there a lower proportion than seventyâ€"seven per gent. 1 The British public approved overwhelmingly to the extent of seventyâ€"nine per cent. Only twelve per cent disapproved, while the reâ€" maining nine per cent were unâ€" decided.
