A letter challenges claims of Canadian German loyalty to Canada and the British Empire urging scrutiny of wartime support. The writer questions the loyalty of communities promoting unity while canvassing for Victory Bonds and War Services, arguing loyalty should be measured by service and investment beyond rhetoric.
The Torch symbol of Winston Churchill marks Canadian resolve to finish the job as Canadians surge toward a $600,000,000 subscription. The campaign urges all citizens to buy Victory Bonds, even with small amounts, to show solidarity with Britain and fund the war effort.
Ottawa reports show Victory Loan cash proceeds to be used for war purposes, with war expenditures reaching about 82 percent of the fiscal year ending March 31, 1942. Tax increases are projected to raise roughly 20 million dollars, including personal income taxes and excess profits taxes, to fund both ordinary and wartime revenue. Strikes are unlikely to imperil the war effort, and political unity remains the central aim as parties adapt leadership during wartime.
