The Militia act oi the IIlUYlIlCC of Quebec, passed in I777, was little lcss scrcrc in its terms. I

It was, intlccd. a sturdy liratid_of patriotism in the Ctttiztdzi of those days. \ioluntary coil- tributions to war efforts were even more tin- prcssive than the coniptilsory, as is shown by the Qtillﬂctiiill m‘ documents rclatitig to the period of 175i) to t-Rtio, ivlicti the Motherland, abandoned bv hcr allies. “its valiantly carrying on the strug- gle alone ztgtiitist France- “The Canadians of that period did not stibscrilie to loans; they offered tltcir Illllltvy simply as a gift to the Mother Coun- try and mtiny of them bound themselves to re- pvttt tlic itlllltlllll each ycttr thc war lasted,” it is CXIJIIIIIICII. liy so doing (Tnuadtt was following the cxtiniplc of litigltttitl. whore gifts to the total vttltic of more than scvcti million d0llars—a large sum for those days -—-\vcre ntade to the govern- ment. “in its dcfettce of all that is most dear to Il.\ as llriintis ttnd as frcc- nit-ti." Kitig George III hczidcd the list with £20,000.

Nova Scotia was the first to adopt the plan. followed by New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and Qhchcc. Detailed lists of subscribers and the amount of thcir contributions are given, with stints varying from ltundrcds of pounds to a few shillings.

“hat may be regarded as a precedent for the currcnt Lease-Lend hill is found in the docu- ments revealing that in I798 Great Britain. fhrotigh the agency of Canada, lent both guns and shot to the United States. At that time French ships were praying upon American mer- chant vessels, from which they seized British goods, and the government of the United States ordered the American navy to capture the French armed ships. In this connection Presdient john Adams requested the sale, loan or gift to the Un- ited States of certain French guns then stored in Halifax. The Dulce of Tcck responded by lend- ilg, on certain conditions, 25 guns and 1,876 shot. which were transported tn Charleston, S. C. Later King George III, "as evidence of good will towards the United States," made a present of this material. setting aside the loan contract. Today the United Statcs is reciprocating in handsome fashion, in this the Empire's hour of need.

Fantastic Guesses

The Hess incident promises, says the mont- real Star, to become all things to all men. Every- body has an interpretation to offer of the No._3 Nazi's dramatic flight to England, usually in terms of his own wishful thinking. The latest. and most tibsurtl, offering comes front Scrtatiar Gerald I‘. Nye. the North Dakota Republican who went onf of his way recently t0 say un- fricntlly and tiutrttc things about Canada.

Senator Nvtnst-cs in thc llcss flight to Scot- land “a possible lcvcr for getting the United States into tlic war." llc ilclivcrs himself of this masterpiece of intvllccttutl exorcise tn cast an- other jihc in tht- tllrt-ctinn of "pcrfidiotts Albion": The United Stzttcs might bc brought into the war. he says. “if lllf‘ Hrilisli conlrl succccd in getting llcss In \.'I\' tliztt thc Nazis iiitcndcrl action against Attit-riczt. nncc thcv finished in Ettrnpc."

This can convcnticntly' l)(t placed under thc heading cmplovcrl so cffcctivcly by a New York newspaper: "liilc and lYirgcf."

on land, or on the sea, cannot succeed unless we _support them with our treasure. Anything we can do is insignificant in comparison with the sacrifices of those who are daily risking their livcs. They are prepared to give “the last ftill tncastire of devotion." We are only asked t0 “lend" our money at current rates of interest.

Moreover, a portion of this loan will make it possible for Canada to send to Britain muni- tions of war. raw materials and agricultural pro- ducts, and the loan will give new impetus to agriculture, commerce and prosperity. It will in- vigorate our war effort. Britain herself cannot find all the necessary dollars with which to pay for her enormous purchases of Canadian pro- ducts. Her deficit in balance of payments with Canada will exceed one billion dollars this year. Canada must provide her with the Canadian dol- lars to meet the deficit.

This Canadians can easily do if they are pre- pared to throw their treasure into the scalc against Hitler. Let us put the loan over with stich a spectacular success as will demonstrate that the civilian population is wholeheartedly be- hind the fightnig forces in its zeal to make a

practical contribution to victory.

It Is perfectly true that the newspapers were paid for display advertlsements- paIcl by the natlonal committee. not by the Government.
