gBEST BY TEST; FAIRBANK FEEDS , MORE THAN AN INVESTMENT G. W. Spinney, Executive Chairman of the Victory Loan Organization, is a top executive of one of Canada’s great banks. As such, he might have been expected to discuss the big loan from the angle of an investment, in terms of security and interest. . But when addressing a large gathering of Victory Loan workers in Toronto the other evening he said this: “I met a young man a few nights ago in the Chateau Laurier at Ottawa. He was just about to go overseas as a pilot officer and was referring quite frankly to the fact that the life of a combat pilot in actual warfare is num- bered only in hours. I asked him how he felt about it. His anSWer shows the spirit of the youth of this country. He Wasn’t considering his own life at all; he was consid- ering only what he must do for Canada. He said: ‘the Government now has a 825,000 investment in me, and I certainly must get a couple of J erries for that before they get me.’ Great Britain, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, India and Canada have béen left alone to fight the Nazi monster. The challenge, undoubtedly the most stupendous in world history, demands the active help of every Canâ€" adian. Those with money, be it fifty dollars or two hunâ€" dred and fifty thousand dollars, must loan their cash to the government if Canada is to carry on with her present share in the big battle. The battle against Germany can be viewed in part as a battle in behalf of Canadian cash in hand. Let Germany win and assets of Canadians will dry up almost to the vanishing point._ Nova however, Canadians are faced with the realiza- tion that no matter how highly they regard that personal cash reserves, they must loan it in orderrto keep it. There are few Canadians who do not treasure money, either for the protection it affords the individual against unforeseen calamity or for the value it represents in terms of goods which it will buy. Some treasure money because of goods which it will buy. Some treasure money becauSe it is the concrete result of years of hard work. Others are reluctant to part with money because to them it is a sheltering arm around the family. “Can Canadians withhold money in the face of a spirit like that? I leave the answer to you.” Mr. Spinney set a splendid example in this manner of approaching the public to enlist wholehearted support for the Loan. If citizens at home are as unselfish as the young man to whom Mr. Spinney spoke, the Loan Win be we]] over- subscribed. FACING REALITY There comes a time in the lives of most men when they come face to face with reality and cannot dodge it.‘ Such a time has arrived for every man and woman in Canada who has a sum of money over and above that needed for ordinary expenditures. Every appeal made to York County in this war as in the last has been met with patriotic and wholeâ€"hearted support. We are sure our citizens will not fail in the present war effort, but once more will go well over the objective. This cannot be accomplished unless every citizen does a part. We feel it is almost superfluous to call on the citizens of York County to do what is obviously a duty. Never in history have we faced such a critical moment as the pre- sent. To fail now would mean the end of our freedom and civilization, and bondage for our children. _ a large amount, but what is at stake is beyond financial calculation. If as Canadians we fail to respond gener- ously to this appeal, the money necessary to equip our forces probably will be raised by taxation. If We are unâ€" willing to place our money behind the men who are risk- ing their lives for democracy, we are not worth defending. The Canadian people are now going through a testing time. They have been asked to invest $600,000,000 from their savings in Dominion of Canada bonds to provide the armed forces with the sinews of war, with the tools to defeat Hitlerism and preserve the nation’s liberty.
