Answers to" questions that may a- riso in minds of prospective bond in i re I lasers. Knots of great campaign to raise money to finance Canada's share in aohiovoing success over Gwrinan arms. Q. What is a Victory Loan? A. It is a loan of money by the people of Canada to the Government .('.). By whom is the loan authorized? A. The loan is authorized under Act of Parliament of Canada. Q. Why does the government borrow money. A. To pay all extraordinary military expenditures. To create a credit in Canada by which England can purchase food and munitions. Unless this credit were established, England would be compelled ,to buy in the United States, where credit would be established. , Q. Are not the ordinary receipts' of our Government from taxes sufficient to do this? A. The ��������� administration of the country's affairs is being ca!rried on as before the war and at the same expense. Increased taxation meets a portion only of the cost of the war. Extraordinary conditions require extraordinary expenditures and necessi tate borrowings to cover same. Q. How is the Government going to raiset his large amount of money? A. By borrowing from the people Q. What is a Government Bond? A. It is the direct and unconditional promise.of the Dominion of Canada to pay upon a certain date a specific sum of money together with interest at a specified rate, payable at specific dates until the bond matures, or is called for redemption. Q. What are the requisites of a bond? A. 1st, its safety; 2nd, its marketability; 3rd, its interest yield. Q. Has our country sold war | bonds before, and if so how much and when? A. $100,000,000.00 in December, 1915; $100,000,000 in October 191 G; $150,000,000 in March, 1017. Security, the lies-t Q. Can I change nonds of old issues for new? A. Yes, at the price of issue of the old bonds. But you cannot tohc up less of the new issue than the amount of the old issue surrendered, each class of bond taken at its issue price. For instance���������if you have $1,000 face value of old.bonds purchased at issue price of $96. these are worth for exchange into the new- issue $9GO. You must therefore.buy $1,000 of the new issue and pay the difference. Q. Has Canada issued bonds before and if so has ;i. ever failed to pay all its bonds when they became due? A. Canada has borrowed money on bond issues ever since Confederation was affected, and has always promptly paid the bonds when due. .Q Could anything happen that would make it impossible to pay the bond? A. Nothing could happen unless Germany wins the war. Their victory would cause you to lose your bond and probably all your other belongings. But this is a Victory Loan to prevent the Germans having any say in the matter. Q. Can the Government make me buy a bond? A. No, but in a Victory Loan everybody should be only too willing As a patriotic citizen you will no doubt do your duty. Q. 1 have bought bonds and stocks before from people I did not know and the results have not been satisfactory. How do I know everything is all right in this intsance? A. The salesman does not', ask. you to give him money. Any cheque made out in payment is to be made in favor of (Credit Minister of Finance). The cheque cannot be cashed save at the order of the Department of Finance at Ottawa. Q. If these bonds are so good, why don't the banks and big people take them all? A. The banks and big people are buying them and still want them. Q. Why should not the insurance and mortgage companies be made to lend money to the Government? A. They are voluntary subscribing all they can spare out of the ord inary channels of their business and still maintain their usefulness in the community. To call in loans already ma do to municipalities, business men' and farmers for the purpose of buying- Government bonds would seriously einbarass the, whole country and would not add to the total supply of money. Terms Easy Q. Will 1 have the right to exchange these bonds, if ones at a better rate are issued? A. Yes. Q. Are Victory Bonds exempt from taxes? A. They are exempt from all taxes imposed by the Dominion Government. Q. Can I buy a bond on the instalment plan? A. Yes. Q. If 1 desire to pay for the bond at the time of subscription, may I do so'? ^ A. ' Yes. Q. If I pay in full do I, receive the bond? A. Your own bank will receive ��������� the money, give you an acknowledgement, and undertake to procure the bond from the Government and deliver it to you. Q. If 1 lose my bond can I get another? A. Yes, if a bond is registered. No if it is the ordinary coupon bond pa,yable to the bearer. The latter is like the case of a dollar bill; if you lose it, it is gone. Q. What is my security for payment of .principal? . A... The whole of the resources of Canada' including all public property and all the property of all the people. Q. Who is going to guarantee that my interest will be promptly paid? A. The Dominion of Canada's entire rcedit responsibility. Q. Will all the banks take a bond as security? A. Yes, and it will be guilt-edged security. Every chartered bank in Canada will accept these bonds as excellent security. , Interest Paid Regularly Q. What percentage will the bank lend me? A. From '80 per cent to 90 per cent of their par value, or $80 or $90 on each $100 bonds. Q. When will the interest be paid and how? A. Interest will be paid every six months and you can have it paid in coupons or cheque���������just as you prefer. Q. Will it cost me anything to collect my interest? A. No. Q. How do I collect? A. ��������� There are two methods. With the coupon bond, you .merely cut off the coupon every six months. These coupons' are payable to bearer and will be cashed at any chartered bank. If bonds are "registered" your interest is sent at the expiration of every six months from Ottawa. Remember that a bond grows a coupon every six months and when this coupon is cut off and spent, yutir bond is just cut off and spent, your bond is just as valuable as it was before. Q. Should a married woman use hc-r own name or her husband's? A Her own. Mrs. Mary Sr.>wn: not Mrs. John Brown. Q. Do I have to keep the bend until maturity? A. They can be sold any business day on the financial market. Q. Can the Government keep my money any longer than the term? A. The Government has no moral or legal right to keep your money longer than the term of-the bond. Q. Suposing I want to sell my bond? A. Any bank, trust company, reliable bond dealer or broker will be glad to sell your bond for you at any time. Q. What would a broker charge me for selling my bond? A. One-quarter of 1 per cent par value, or 25������ on each $100 bond. Q. I cannot afford to tie my money up. I may n������ed it any time? A. Any bank in Canada will loan on these bonds up to practically the face value, or the value as then quoted on the market. There is no security issued anywhere on which (Continued THE ABBOirSFOTtlhPOST, ABBOTSFORD.

The out great outstanding feature of public life in Canada -during the past week has boon the groat. Victory Loan which Dominion, Government has placed before the people of Canada. Tho Government, aro asking the peoplo of Canada to subscribe to a loan- for $ 1 50,000,000 "in order to. create a credit for England so that trade-may be carried on with this fair Dominion of ours and the great heart of the Empire. Should this loan be a success it will be the means of preventing England getting war supplies in the United States where the credit is good for any amount desired. It is a patriotic matter with us all in'two ways It is a loan to ourselves to' help us carry on the business of war. It is a patriotic loan in the' fact that it will help to win tho war, probably sooner. It is patriotic also in the fact that it shows the feeling of the Canadian people towards tho successful upholding the rights of the Allies. The'".man who subscribes to the loan ���������even if only a small amount���������has a personal interest in tho winning of the war.' The terms of the loan are made so that- almost every person can invest. Ten per cent down and the balance spread over until May, ��������� .1.913, and further, money can be borrowed from the banks at the rate of fi M> % the tame as the intercut on the bonds. This helps in this, way, that if a person subscribes and something turns turns up that he is disappointed in not having the money when the time comes, ho can borrow from the bank ��������� to make tho payment, thus uot losing what he has already paid in. Liko the other' loans of the government'the amount could be oasily borrowed from the capitalists of the country, but this is not the idea of the government���������they want the money from the common people. It will show to the Government the popularity of the winning of the war is in Canada. S TIE WORLD'S, BEST CHEW It is' manufactured tobacco in its purest form. .. It has a pleasing flavor..

WM,MM>glWilflWWIinwiflB^^ It eeeniB painful that tluvre is s,o much difference of opinion these days about the advisability of supporting Canada's Union government. The return of the Union Government to power at Ottawa at the coining election is of the" utmost importance to Canada. It means for a' certainly that Canada will continue in the war, uninterruptedly, and that soldier wlil be on their way to France at an early date. The return of tho baur- icr party to power at Ottawa may L>e in the end all right but the boys now in the trenches will have to wait a great doal longer, according to our reading of the manifesto, to be relieved. We read of our boys being "killod" "gassed" "wounded aiu missing" yet we talk of supporting a 'government that will not take quick action in sending men. to their relief. The lines are clear cut. The duty in the mattor of voting are also clear cut. There was never such a clear cut issue placed before the people cf Canada as there is today. We are given the outlined path which the one party will carry out, and the other is a dim issue, with great possibilities of the main issue, the war, being lost sight of altogether owing to loca jealousies and selfish aims.
