The money so advanced will be paid back; meantime each loan is secured by a first mortgage. Up to August 15th, 29,495 soldiers had applied for land under the terms of this Act; and 22,281 applications had been investi- gated, and the qualifications of the applicant approved. For this purpose Canada this year requires $24,000,000. Vocational For this work which, with the rF . -, Vocational Training and Soldiers’ 1' alnmg Service Departments, embraces the :‘.‘.a_)or activities of the Department of Soldiers’ Civil Re-establishment, an appropriation of $57,000,000 is necessary. bringing home troops from overseas. The payment of all soldiers still undemobilized. This includes more than 20,000 sick and wounded who are «r.- .' ' There is also the gratuity which 61 atUltles has been authorized, and has been and is being paid to assist soldiers to tide over the period between discharge and their reâ€"adjustment to civil life. For this purpose alone, $61,000,000 must be provided out of the Victory Loan 1919, in addition to the $59,000,000 already paid out of the proceeds of the Victory Loan 1918. VWHEN, on the morning of November 11th, 1918, the guns were hushed and glad tidings flashed across the world, there followed with the Nation’s Prayer of Thanksgiving, one yearning query, which found echo in the faster beat- ing hearts of wives, mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters and sweethearts. That query was, "How soon will our boy be home?” And, from France and Flanders, from Italy and Egypt, from Palestine and from far- off Siberia, there came an answering echo, How soon, how soon, may we go home?” ANADA caught the spirit of these longings, and at once resolved to satisfy them. It was an appalling task. Shipping was tragically scarce. The com- position of the Azmy of Occupation had not then been settled. And other parts of the Empire as well as Canada were looking for the speedy return of their men. THE problem was this. The half-million men that Canada had overseas had foiran 1~nrn~m +hon fnnr xroorc +n francnnq-i- +n +‘fio Gob-1 AF kn4-41n ”FA 1...:..~ still in hospital, and who of course remain on the Army payroll till discharged.

To bring them home in a few months was a gigantic undertakingâ€"one to tax all Canada’s ingenuity and resources. Canada solved the problem, but it meant crowding into a few short months, an expense for demobilization which it was impossible to foresee.

That-was, to trans- form efficiently and speedily the nation’s army of fighters into a national army of workers.

Indeed, it was the under- standing that the waterworks exten- sions should be made this year, and the sewers put in simply to take ad- vantage of the trenches made for the watermains. In case the waterworks and sewers could not both be put in it was understand that the waterworks extensions would be looked after in “Every Dollar Spent in Canada” Issued by Canada’s Victo Loan Committee in (Jo-operation with the 1V inistcr of Finance of the Dominion of Canada. the residents wuuld have to wander around tn seeure water for their uses.

You may ask “Why sell to them if they can’t pay cash?” The answer is, “Their orders are absolutely essential to the continuance of our agricultural and industrial prosperity.” The magnitude of these orders and the amount of em- ployment thus created, will depend upon the success of the Victory Loan 1919. The “ Why” Farmers and manufacturers (and f C d that includes the workers on these 0 1' e If orders) must be paid cash for Loans their products. Therefore, Canada must borrow money from her citizens to give credit, temporarily, to Great Britain and our Allies. Actually, no money W111 pass out of Canada. If Canada does not give credit, other countries will; and they will get the trade, and have the employment that should be ours, to distribute amongst their workers. And remember, we absolutely need these orders to main- tain employment. If we don’t finance them business will feel the depression, employment will not be as plentiful, and conditions everywhere will be adversely affected. National Working Capital For Tqans- portatlon ation 'deveIOpment work. For loans to Provincial Housing Commissions who are building moderate priced houses. These, then, are some of the things for which Canada needs national working capital. She is in the position of a great trading company, and her citizens who buy Victory Bonds are the shareholders. These national expenditures are war expenses. They will be accepted readily by every citizen who gives thought to the task which Canada faced following the Armistice, and to the success with which she has met it. mum mm Canada needs national working capital, so that she may be able to sell on credit to Great Britain and our Allies the products of our farms, forests, fisheries, Money must also be available to car;y on the nation’s shipbuilding piogramme, and other transport- he nevusszn'y to ('mnplcte the mmtruvts for the wurk and test out the system, and su it might be vhéaper than attemptingr to instal the plant. in the winter time.
