(Published in the Ontario G \zette on November 4th, 1939) TO SERVICE on the Economic Front "Materials and money count for so much in this war that a resolute, loyal and enthusiastic economic front line may be the determining factor." • . xxrvrrCTTn CtV PIMAX MINISTER OF FINANCE. To your restless question "When can I help win this war.'" â€" the answer is NOW. On Monday next, the Government of the Dominion of Canada will offer the First War Loan. The purpose of this Loan is to provide money to carry on the war, not only on the battlefields, but all along the Economic Front. Let us explain what the Economic Front means. It means a war in which the entire natural, industrial and financial resources of the country are used to defeat the enemy. It means a "total war" in which every citizen takes a part, in which his personal resources must support those of the Nation. In such a war, one of the chief weapons is money. Where is this money to come from? There is only one answer. It must come â€" and come voluntarily â€" from the savings of our people. The difference between us and the Germans is that we, of our own free will, lend our money â€" it is not ruthlessly taken away. This is your opportunity to do your part in this struggle against Hitlerism. The eyes of the world are upon you, upon Canada, one of the strongest members of the British Commonwealth. Canadians must show that their strength, their courage and their resources are all in this fight against "brute force, bad faith, injustice, aggression and persecution." The news of the success of this Loan must go ringing round the world. Be ready to buy War Loan Bonds. They will have the proven safety and salability of Dominion of Canada obligations. Any Investment Dealer or Chartered Bank will take yoiu: subsaiption. The quicker the economic war is won, the greater will be the saving of human lives ... the swifter the collapse of the enemy.
