Lest We Forget

Lest we forget in the excitement of election- bering, the home front has an important battle to win; it is the Victory Loan Campaign. Vic- jory Loans provide tlie siuews of war. The obligation is strictly up to every individualtto Fdig down" t0 the last copper to see that every last piece of equipment is provided to the lads overseas from the dollars that are available here In Canada. _

Victory Loan campaigns are a wartime ac- tivity into which any citizen should throw every Inst degree of energy without considering the

itical implications of his action. Vlclﬂf)‘

oln bonds represent the common means b)’ which all can harvest, in practical fashion, the inner prayer and wish for victory.

The Victory Loan Campaign is sponsored by our govcrnnicnb-oiir government until a new one is electcd—and no effort should be sliirked or evaded because of political considerations. The election date comes late_r, and any antiDﬂlhY to the government should be expressed then, and not before, particularly in response to the VIC- toey Loan appeal.

There can be no let down in our efforts on and, In view of the superb organization and the human lives at stake, let no one on the home front do less than the last best effort.

In that last fragile moment 0f reaching for victory, let it not be said that anyone on the home front faltered or failed.

Spokesman For The Fighting Men

Thirty thousand of the flower of Canadian youth have made the supreme sacrifice in the present war, says the Globe and Mail. Had this lost section of the gcticration lived, many of them would give leadership in their respect- ive communities. They were the kind of men who were impressed with the extreme gravity of the situation in Europe and the danger which threatened democratic nations. It is gratifying that l. good number who survived the holocaust of war welcome tlhc opportunity to render further service to the nation. Among these are men like Maj-Gen. George R. Pcarkes, V.C., who has accepted the Progressive Conservative nomination in the Federal constituency of Nan- limo. This heroic officer, whose gallantry and distinguished service won him the Victoria Cross, the Military Cross, the Croix dc Guerre Ind the D.S.O. in the Great War, commanded dis 1st Division in the prose-tit conflict. He sees In politics not something for his own aggrand- Ilcment, but an opportunity to discharge “per- sonal responsibility to the tho: ands of young men and wonieti w » are ' ug their lives in defense of n"\' .. and, you-c hctiie. l sec It as a rcspons 1 to my son and to your children ivliose tutu v: ~E ivg are of such vital concern to all of us.

There will be men who have been maimed and broken. \\'lio is better quali- lfied to protect their interests tlintt veterans like Maj.-Gen. Pearkes, Lt-(Iol. Merritt, V.C., and Wing Cmdr. biacLeati, DJLC? A score of such men have been itonlinated for Parliament by the Pmgressive Conservative Party, which believes there is a call to them to smzil: for their coilirades-iu-ziriiis. llany of these have engaged the enemy in lllt) skies or _ on latid. ,They have seen collcagttcs shot down tn flatiics or mown down by rifle and macliitie-gtin fire. They have a rcspotisihilitv to carry on. and it is for sakes of those who fell in battle that they dedicate their lives to serve in yicacc as they served in “'9?-

Political probibitionists are shrewd. They direct their appeals to the emotions, rather than to the intelligence, because they know the great majority is considerably more emotional than sensible.

This is why grocers are rolling In money these days, and should contribute more than ever to the Victory Bond campaign: Canadian Grocer calculates that based 0n figures issued by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics, sales of grocery and combination meat and grocery stores in Canada last year reached the all-time lllllll 0f $737,000,000. An article in a recent issue presents the percentage increase given by the Bureau each year since 194i, date of the last complete census when actual sales shown to be $567,310,000, urea works out estimated sales for each year sinoe then. The increase in 1944 over I941 was $159,000,000 of 23% and compared with the flgllrﬂﬁ Shown by the 1930 census it was no less than 79%. Canadian Grocer further esti- mates that independents operating grocery and combination stores had sales last year of $508,- 000,000 or about 70% of the total and chains $218,118,000 or 30%.

Civil servants get pay boost. Finance Min- ster Ilsley has announced acceptance by the Treasury Board of recommendations by the Na- tional Joint Council of the Public Service of Canada for I resumption of statutory increases for civil servants receiving more than $3,000 an- nually and for a limited resumption of reclassi- fication procedure in the service. The board has deferred decision on recommendations for payment of full cost-of-living bonus to civil servants receiving between $2,000 and $3.000 "pending an examination of the detailed effects of acceptance of this recommendation." The joint council had recommended that present bonus provisions covering single employees re- ceiving less than $108 a month be continued and that heads of households and other single em- ployees receiving less than $3.000 a. year be paid the full oost-of-liviiig bonus at a rate of $13.42 a month provided the bonus would not

ceed $3.000. The council had recommended that this bonus be effective from January 1, 1945.

Prime Minister King was extremely lucky with the closing session of the House‘; lucky in not having had an Opposition which would have been more tough with him, WillCil would have demanded that he bring to Parliament the budget, and which, in fact, might have chal- lenged his right to represent anada at San Francisco or anywhere else. Ir. King, re- membering some of his own militant tactics as an Opposition leader, would perhaps have under- stood. One trouble with Mr. King is that he has been so long in office he now begins to imagine that the government and Parliament of this country belong to him. That is about the OlliV construction one can place oii his extra- ordinary proposition when asked for the date of the dissolution, “that if the Opposition will be good boys and do what he asks of them he will tell them the date of the election after the House rises."

The supply of a number of hardware lines for spring busiiless is likely to be smaller than was anticipated last fall. Manufacturers have not been able to produce civilian metal goods to tlie extent tlicy had hoped for, because of thc acute shortage of manpower, for that purpose.
