In a phrase it suggests the chief reason why everyona who is able should purâ€" chase all the Victory Bonds that can possibly be financed. The slogar, "Back the Attack" sug â€" gests the progress of the war. It refers to the war effort of the past, the present and the future. The fighting men can do nothing without equipâ€" ment, arms, munitions, supplies, All these are impossible without finances. It has been found necessary to finance part of the war effort by loans. These loans accordingly are as essential as ships, or planes, or munitions. Squadroh Leaâ€" der Parks in his recent address here, though he confined his remarks to the question on which he was assigned to speakâ€"the progress of the R. C. A. F.and the work that this body of gallant men are doingâ€"made a very powerful appeal for the Victory Loan, though he purposely refrained from any particular mention of the campaign. He picâ€" tured the life and work of the men of the Royal Canadian Air Force. â€"He told of the ideals and the hopes and the faiths for which they risk their lives and give their lives. By inferenceâ€"the more powerful because so little stressedâ€"his messgqge was a paraphrase of the slogan, "Back the attack." His phrasing of the question was: "We can depend on them. Can they depend on us?" While the slogan, "Back the Attack" certainly aoes refer to ‘the great work that has been done by the armed forces, it also has the suggestion O stillâ€"more effort in the future. There is general belief that this year will see further attack on the enemy on the several fronts, with probably a nex front opened in Europeâ€"an attack that will strike much closer to the enemy‘s own homelands. Canâ€" adtf’“can surely depend on her soldiers, sailors and airmen to do their full part on all the battle fronts. Canadians at home must give the fullest support not"‘(‘mly in the way of providing equipment, muniâ€" tions and supplies, but also in the vital work of supplying the essential finances. "Back the Atâ€" tack!" In some of the other war loan campaigns there were many who ventured the opinion that there was too much emphasis placed on the benefits accruing to subscribers to the loans. It was thought that there was too much stress given to the profitable investment features of the Victory Loans. People were urged to buy Victory Bonds because of their giltâ€"edged security and because of their good rate of interest. In the present camâ€" paign, much less is heard of investing in Victory bonds for personal profit and advantage, and more about the necessity for all to support the new loan as a patriotic duty and a protection against the possibility of enslavement. "Back the Attack!" is the new and more inspiring slogan. At the same time it is well not to lose sight of the value of investment in Victory Bonds as a profitable finanâ€" cial venture. It should not be forgotten that thought of the investment features of the loan has its benefits, Apart from the actual support of the war effort, there will be two noteworthy results if the Fourth Victory Loan goes well over the top. Such a result will certainly increase Canadian morale, and just as surely it will reduce the morâ€" ale of the enemy. There is no question but that the enemy morale will be affected by any special enthusiasm shown for the Fourth Victory Loan. Every step of proâ€" gress made in the campaign will appear to the enemy as cause for uneasiness and alarm. The success of the Fourth Victory Loan will be read by the enemy as further proof that the people of Canada have firm faith and confidence not only in themselves and their future but also in the triumph of the struggle against the â€"gangster nations. The morale of the Canadian pEo cannot fail to be increased by the Fourth Victory Loan. Not only wi the people have the money but also the faith and the vision to "Back t] this connection there is consider thought in the record of the J Along this line The Financial PC illuminating statisties.

"Back Rands! so doing was offered this issue nently practical overwhelming. ° only will the pri: even be adopted ng success in every corner of the Dominion it has no equal. It would easily win in a plebiscite, and perhaps this gives a hint to why it will not be adopted. Once adopted it would be accepted by all but a wellâ€"paid few. The one drawback about it is that it all depends on the government. Withâ€" out any more mystery, here is the plan, the method the feature, the stunt that would do more than anything else to sell Victory bonds as fast as the forms could be filled out, and at the same time start a regular rush of people of all kinds and classes to yvolunteer for canvassing, or rather for simply accepting applications for the Fourth Vicâ€" tory Loan. The scheme is this:â€"The Government immediately drops all its petty political partiality and partizanship; all waste and extravagance in political appointments and performances are imâ€" mediately discontinued: the government at once turns the conflict from a strictly partâ€"ofâ€"aâ€"part of a party basis to an allâ€"out effort of a united people; there are no more political appointments but all offices and posts are filled by the right men and women irrespective of party or creed; there are no more $500.00 rugs for the offices of favourâ€" ites; no more $4,000.00 costs for $1,800.00 houses, no nrore unnecessary radio plans for spending the odd million; no more $6,000 salaries for $2,000.00 men, some of them unnecessary at any prices; no more costly strikes in war services for fear Oof votes or infiuence; no more $535,000.00 a year bills for telephone and telegraph service for the Deâ€" partment of Munitions:; no more gifts of $2,000.00 free of income tax» to Cabinet ministers; nc more lecturing of the people to economy and thrift: but rather the setting of an â€"example in these virâ€" tues by the government itself. What a feature! What a stunt! °It would sweep the country! It would sell bonds so fast that the campaign would be over in a few days. It would be a winnerâ€"a wow! The only thing against the plan is that it won‘t even be given consideration. It is too radiâ€" cal, too sensational, too startling, too original. selling bonds. Furthermore, it would not cost the peopie of a country a cent. Indeed, it would save millions of dollars yearly to go into the purchase of more Victory Loan bonds. The stunt is emiâ€" nently practical and its popular appeal would be overwhelming. Yet The Advance realizes that mot only will the prize be refused but the plan will not even be adopted in part. The Advance does not pretend that others have not thought of the feaâ€" ture referred to, but The Advance will likely be the only one to advocate its adoption. It has at least the startling originality that it never has be t10 Oh, well!l Even without such a winner, the peoâ€" ple themselves, despite all the handicaps, can put the Fourth Victory Loan over the top! And they will. It will mean more work, more effort, more trouble, but it has to be done. It will be done. The people will "Back the Attack." Thoughtful people this week were shocked at the announcement that the Soviet government had broken off relations with the Polish government. The news was startling to people in general beâ€" cause, though Britain and other Allies have known for some time of the illâ€"feeling that has grown between the two governments, a determined effort was made to keep down discussion on tne question. This was done in the hope that an open break could be avoided. In fairness to Poland, some facts should be considered at this time. Russia‘s suggestion that the Polish government is working with the Nazis is unbelievable. At no time since the war commenced has the Polish government or the Polish people sho'wn the slightest tendency to even treat with the Nazis, Rather the Polish attiâ€" tude has been to enter the services of others of the Allied Nations so that Germany may hear from Poland only in the way of bullets and bombs.

Jolly Party Given in Honour of Local Men Joining Navy Fight Men of Porecupine Camp, All Experts in Their Line, Join the Navy. _ To the strains of "All the Nice Girls, Love a Sailor", and other nautical songs: a merry farewell party was held at the Legion Hall on Saturday evening ‘when the Canadian Legion and the Hollinger Steel Shop staff bid adieu to eight citâ€" izens of the Camp who left on Monday to take up very important parts with ‘he Royal Canadian Navy. It all happened when the recent reâ€" cruiting unit visited Timmins. ‘They were on the "lookout" for Wen in specialized work, and they have sq:urea some of the best.

A programme in which Walter Avery, Joe McGrath, Les Nicholson, Jimmie Cowan, Alex Boyd, Mose Marsen, R. Rackhouse and Fred Wolno took pari all helped materially in a very happy evening. W. A. Devine was pianist for the evening. A lunch was evening. Mr. Pritchard in a few words gave each man a special tribute and wished them all success in their new venture. Harry Searth, told of his days in the Army, just to show the boys; were still around. He told a story from real acâ€" tion of the Britishers contempt for shellâ€"fire. "I always made myself searce when Jerry was shelling but this par‘licâ€" ular officer of the British forces always wanted to see where they went. His curiosity eventually goit the better of him, for he was blown to bits at crossâ€"road near Vimy Ridge," said Mr. Scarth. He proceeded to note that the new army overseas now seemed to have this same contempt for the Nazis, and he was sure when the time came it would be th blown to bits Once a year the newsboys of a cerâ€" tain distnict of London are taken for an outing up the Thames, where they can bathe to their heart‘s content.
