September 10 marks opening of the third year of war; and the Government of Canada has proclaimed the week of September 10-17 as “a week of reconsecration of the Canadian people to the democratic cause against Nazi tyranny.” Inspiring the nation to even higher resolve and even greater sacrifice is Canada’s war record: Two years ago, Canada’s soldiers. sailors and airmen. including reserves, totalled 68,000; today they number 490,000. In the Canadian Active Army are 230,000 volun- teers; ii. the Canadian Army (Reserve), 170,000 volun- teers and trainees: and single men between 21 and 24 are being drafted for the Canadian Active Army on Home Deâ€" fence. The Royal Canadian Navy now has 250 vessels and 23,000 officers and ratings. The Royal Canadian Air Force numbers 67,000 of all classifications. In the British Isles are more than 100.000 Canadian soldiers, sailors and airmen. Troops include the lst, 2nd and 3rd Divisions with ancillary units. Canadian coastal batteries guard vital shore areas. Canadian divisions are ' posted to an honor sector and would form the spearhead of British defence in case of invasion. Canadian airmen have won undying glory over Britain, Germany. France, Dunkirk, Nazi-occupied territories, the Middle East, Greece and Libya, and off Norway. The Royal Canadian Navy has. with the Royal Navy, convoyed freighters car- rying over 30,000,000 tons of supplies; has sunk U-boats, captured enemy vessels and compelled scuttling of others; aided in the evacuation from France, rescued many from bombed and torpedoed ships. Over 1,200 Canadians have figured in casualty lists; of them, 736 killed, 195 missing. Training for overseas is the 4th Division. The 5th (Armoured) Division will be transferred to Britain this. year. A 6th Division has been authorized. Home defences along Atlantic and Pacific coasts are constantly being tightened. The Canadian Active Army is calling for 7,000 volun- teers per month. The Royal Canadian Navy aims at 400 ships and 27,000 men by next March. The Royal Canad- ian Air Force is sending more and more pilots and ground crews overseas. Due to go to Britain this year are 2.500 radio locator specialists. who warn of approaching enemy raiders; an addition to the 1,000 already there. Women are being enlisted in auxiliaries of both Army and Air Force, to release men for front-line service. Canada is spending between $3,000,000 and 84,000,000 a day on war; two years ago, the arms bill was less than a million. By March 31 next. the war bill will have passed 82.000.000.000, including well over half a billion to fin- ance purchases for Britain. ' In addition to assuming heavier taxes. Canadians have bought war bonds and savings certificates worth 81,â€" 460,000,000; they have contributed about $20,000,000 to auxiliary war services, and outright gifts to the Govern- ment total nearly $2,000,000. War contracts and commitments. both for Canada and Britain. pass $2.000,000,000. Over $520,000,000 have been advanced for plant construction and expansion. and for materials. Canada will'contribute $531,000,000 to the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan. A home de- fence construction programme will cost $110,000,000. Naval building calls for $128,000,000. On freighters, $200,000,000 will be spent. Personal and maintenance equipment for the services require $100,000,000. War material production covers steel ships. planes, land. naval, anti-tank and anti-aircraft guns, Bren and other automatic guns, gun mountings, antiâ€"tank mines, bombs, grenades. small arms ammunition. shells. depth charges, tanks, explosives and war chemicals. precision instruments, trucks and other transport vehicles. A sur- plus of some material is being sold to the United States under the agreement covered by the Hyde Park Declarâ€" ation. Food shipped to Britain includes 200,000,000 bushels of wheat, 7,000,000 barrels of flour, 13,000,000 lbs. of honey, nearly 15,000,000 dozen eggs, millions of pounds of concentrated milk. thousands of tons of canned goods. By December 800,000,000 lbs. of pork products will have been sent: by March next, 112,000,000 lbs. of cheese. All this constitutes elements of Canada’s war effort; and still the peak has not yet been reached. *****$*** THE URGENCY OF WAR SAVINGS While “we are in the presence of a crime without a name" it would be a major tragedy to lose both the war and the peace. That is the ominous probability of a headâ€" long plunge into a period of wartime pleasure spending. A greater degree of saving is an urgent need of the mo- ment. The cry from all the lips that speak to us across the noâ€"man’s-land of the Atlantic ocean is for more and more materials. Our ability to produce the materials of war in satisfactory quantity is limited by our physical capacity and time. Our only hope lies in diverting peaceâ€"time op- erations to wartime requirements. ' Diversion of productive facilities is effected in either or both of two ways, voluntary or otherwise. Financial measures, such as by taxation and borrowing, are useful and play an important part, but the part they play is de- pendent upon the measure of public support they receive. In the Victory Loan drive, Canadians added to their laurels, and the measure of their effort in this direction will make pleasant reading when the final figures are issued from Ottawa this month. That. however, is water over the dam, and War Savings is now in need of supâ€" port. This is the movement in which the greatest number of Canadians can put their shoulders to the wheel. War Savings is a twiceâ€"blessed effort in that dollars invested in War Savings Certificates do double service: they do not compete with the war effort and they stand ready to take up the slack for the peace-time readjustment. Dollars diver/ted from nonâ€"essential spending at this time 'leave room for the expansion of production needed for the men overseas. l l , - . at 11 (1.111. in tin church audioriuni ‘lioys and girls will he in their ('las<(‘.\‘ l l 'in the Uni'ed Church Sunday School THE LIBERAL, RICHMOND HILL.
