Stresses

An eloquent appeal on behalf of the Victory Loan campaign was made to the Rotary Club yester- day by Premier Thane A. Campbell. who stressed the opening of the campaign as marking an event of great importance for the City and Province. He had had the privil- ege. in the morning, of attending at Summerslde a demonstration of the communal spirit of that town and the surrounding country which he believed has not been surpassed or even equalled for many years: and he had no doubt that Charlottetown would stage a silmilarly appropriate demonstra-

on.

"It is now a year and three- quarters." said Premier Campbell. “since the present colossal world‘ war commenced and it is now en- terl upon the twenty-second mont of terrible conflict. Those who are students of geography would find it difficult to reconcile the present territorial situation on the continent of Europe with what they were accustomed to see on the maps before the conflict began. Even before the start of the war. the territorial position of Austria. Czecho-Slovakia, including Bo- hemia. Moravia, slovakia. had been wiped off the map: and since then in more or less succession Poland. Norway. Holland. Belgium, and pert of France; and then in the east Rouinania. Hungary, Bulgaria, Yugo-Slavic, Greece have all fal- len under the heel of the Nazi op- pressor. It is true that in some of these cases. the fall of the coun- tries mentioned was due to the mere shock of surprise. assisted in s some instances by the activity of traltcrous Qulsllngs at home_

Lack of Equipment

"But I think an analysts of the whole course of the war up to the present time shows that the prin- cipai reason for the collapse of those countries which had put. up a resistance was the fact that they were not equipped with mechanized armaments in sufficient numbers or efficiency to withstand the mur- derous onslaught cf the highly equipped and mechanized forces which had been built up by bar- baric Nazl Germany over a period of six or seven years. For that rea- son it is extremely important, if the British Empire and the re- mainder of the free world is to sur- vive the forces of the onslaught; that mechanized forces should be built up which will not only enable the British and the Allies to main- tain the defence of their homes and positions, but to take the of- fensive at the appropriate time.

"Sometimes. as we have follow- ed the course of these events, the successes, what we hope to be temporary successes, of the Ger- man machine, the reverses of our own forces rind those of our A‘.- lles, we might be led to be dis- couraged. These eases which have been particularly disconcerting have been the necessity of evac- uating the western part of the mainland of Europe. the recent

“Possibly the one feature which clays the greatest part of all in re-assurlng the people of the Bri- tish Empire and the free world is the voice of our great leader. of ',l‘i8 Prime Minister, the Right Hon- ourable Winston Churchill. It eems that on these - caslons he s‘ able to strike just the right tote of realism in recognizing the mriousness of the difficulties of ‘he situation. and of optimism in looking forward with confidence 1nd hope to the successful out come of the campaign.

Churchill's Confidence

"1 would like just for a moment to read you a passnlle 1T0!" 011° ll his recent speeches on the Al- ‘ied retirement from Greece, which ilustrates the note of courage and optimism which he is able to adopt and inspire on occasions of that

rid.

" ‘While we view with sorrow and anxiety much thut is happen- ing in Europe and Africa and in Asia, we must not lose our sense of proportion and thus become discouraged or alarmed. when we face with a set eye the difficulties ylilch lie before us. we may derive new confidence by remembering ‘hose we have already overcome.

"'Nothing that is happening now is comparable with the dangers ‘hrough which we passed last.

whole, and they endeavoured to do this by teaching each one of the citizens how he could play his part. This campaign was in progress at the time when the inevitable at- tacks came upon that western Bri- tlsh port. And at the conclusion, a ominentary on the success of that campaign appeared in the Bristol Evening Post:

" ‘What better proof could be shown of the ever-increasing moral and spiritual re-armament of cur city than the conduct of our peo- ple in the resent troubles? This mobilized sp rlt of Bristol, forti- fied by today's timely action, is a. force of ensured power. It will give the energy to win the war and the touch of sustained genius to build s. new world when the pre- sent troubles are past.’

"And‘ that commentary received an echo from far-off Australia where the Premier of Victoria sent the followl cable to ti? Lord Mayor of Br stol: " ‘Inspired by faith. patriotism. and courage. you have withstood the rain of death from the skies. illustrating once again that spir- itual impulse is always greater than material things. No more striking vindication of the prin- ciples of Moral fee-armament could be lven than the superb conduct of t. e people of Bristol and other Brlittilsh cities in the recent air- ra s.’

The British Spirit

"This Moral lite-armament ap- pears to be the resurrection and continuance of the old spirit of England fortified as she is by her sea power, her naval supremacy. and her faith in Divine Providence. This idea was expressed very con- cisely by the great poet Shake- speare, with the words which he put into the mouth of old John of Gaunt so many years ago:

“This royal throne of kings, this

sceptefd isle,

This earth of majesty, this seat of Mars.

This other Eden. deml-paradise. This fortress built by Nature for herself

Against infection and the hand of

war. This happy breed of men, this little world,

stone set. in

This precious silver sea,

Whlchnserves it in the office of a wa ,

Or as a moat defensive to a ouse,

Againstd the envy of less happier

n s. This blessed plot. this earth, this realm. this England."

“And still more anciently ln the words which the same great poet put into one of his characters in the play of King John:

“This England never did, nor never shall, '

Lie at the proud foot of a con- queror,

But when it first did help to

wound itself

Now these her princes are home again.

Come the three world in arms.

And we shall shock them. Nought shall make us rue,

If England to itself do rest but

true.

"And so not only in Bristol. but in London and in all sections of the homeland of Britain this same spirit has been revived. this ‘mob- ilized spirit of Bristol.’

"From the outset of the war. Canada has had an opportunity for co-operation. Her armed for- ces have been mobilized, many of them have been sent. overseas to take their part not only in the defence of Great Britain if an in- vasion is attempted. but to take part in the offensive when it is launched at the psychological mo- merit. Before that defence can be maintained. before that offensive can take place, it is necessary that armaments of sufficient calibre. that ships in sufficient numbers and of sufficient carrying capacity. that airplanes of roper efficiency and number shoud be provided and be maintained.

"There is no question that what L; happening in the West ls. so- cording to Prime Minister church- ill. the most important feature of the situation.

“The homeland has been lub- jected to a series of attacks and dangers. The warfare at sea has come so close to our own shores that President Roosevelt has de- clared that e situation of unlim- ited emergency exists. He spoke officially for the cltiiiens of, the United States and at the some

purposes money is urgently re- quired. The Government of the homeland has been called on not only to sustain the heavy burden of military operations and of home defence but I think you gentlemen can realize that the Government and the citizens of the homeland of Great Britain have been placed under an immense and we should almost think an unbearable fin- ancial burden during the past year or two. And now it is necessary that our country of Canada should bear her share of that financial burden.

“There are several methods in which the necessary money can be raised. I need not. I think, elabor- ate on the necessity of raising. this money. I need not elaborate on the detailed purposes for which it is required. We have our prin- cipal contact with the armed for- ces through the magnificent units of the Royal Air Force and the Royal Canadian Air Force training in our midst. We can see the amounts of money which it takes to maintain the bombers and fighters and equipment. the ground crews and barracks and landing fields of the Air Force. The ne- cessliy of raising the money is, I think, very evident

“There may come a. time when the Government will have to rc- sort to more drastic methods of raising this money. either on the one hand by confiscation of pro- perty. confiscation of the savings of the people or. on the other hand, by the more subtle but none the less confiscntory measure which is corrunonly known as inflation.

These are just two methods of confiscation. One is plain and blunt. The other has it little

sugar-coating over the kernel of the pill. And I believe very strong- ly that the length of time during which Canada can avoid those two methods of confiscatory contribu- tion depends in a large measure on the success of this and subsequent campaigns for voluntary contribu- tions of monies. securities. and ma- terial resources to the coffers of

passing 1n recent months, I think’ ii. would be very little indeed if tin-

Dominion Government askcd the

citizens of Canada to lend tilt‘ money to the Government witi cut interest. That, of course, would ; probably be a hardship on some of the smaller investors who, not 1 being gainfully employed. would‘ bc deprived of one of their means o1‘ livelihood. It might also be a hardship on the institutions such as insurance companies who are entrusted with the duty of invest.- ing the people's money. But the Government is not even going that far. The Government is saying to the people, ‘We are not going to confiscate your savings. not even, if we can help it. by inflation We are going to ask you to lend us the money, not even without in- terest. We are not going to pay u high interest, becousc we do not want to impose an undue burden on~ the present or future gener- ations of taxpayers in Canada.‘ The Dominion Government asks the people of Canada to lend their money, their resources. their securities, their credit to the Gov- ernment for the purpose of this voluntary loan at a reasonable rate of interest. Surely this is very little to ask. and f do not think those of you who are canvassers have any apolog to make in ap- proaching any cl izen in this Prov- ince or in any other Province in that connection.
