TODAY after four years of desperate preparation, the United

Nations are finally armed to the teeth and coming to grips with the enemy in that final gigantic battle which can only end in victory. Today finds Canada girded for war on a scale never equalled by any nation of like population. '

We have more forces, better armed and equipped than ever before in history. We have more ships, planes, tanks, guns, in action or ready for action. We have more factories, more machines, produc- ing the things that win wars. We have more Canadians engaged in war production than at any previous time.

Yes, our great war-making machine has grown to giant proportions. Now we must keep it operating at full capacity if we are to crush our enemies in the shortest possible time. That is what the Fifth Victory Loan is for. Greater sums of money than ever before are required—to keep our armed forces supplied, to operate our factories and shipyards, to speed production in our mines, in our forests and on our farms.

5,200,000 Canadians are now earning money throughout the length and breadth of this country. Canada asks 5,200,000 Canadians to buy Victory Bonds. The Fifth Victory Loan needs the united support of all. Buy Victory Bonds, and-Speed the Victory.
