TO THE UTTERMOST
WHERE WINSTON CHURCHILL LEADS When Mr Winston Churchill accepted the leadership of the British Commonwealth of Nations in its fight against the barbaric hordes of Nazidom, he told everyone frankly that the way to victory would be \ through " toil and sweat, blood and tears." He asked for the uttermost effort by everyone. The "uttermost" leaves no room for quibbling, no time for doubt. In this war victory must be bought—it will not be a gift. In England the workers —all are workers now —are toiling long hours, standing up to the rigours of the battlefront. And they are helping to pay for the war by giving their savings—lsi million pounds a week. They are investing their savings in victory. This' is what the National Savings scheme represents, It is part of the " uttermost effort." At the same time it is an expression of confidence in ultimate victory. These savings, with their interest added will be used in the peace they win Victory will be bought with these savings, along with the toil and sweat of the nation's endeavour. The National Savings Investment Accounts in this Dominion offer one way of "joining up;" the National Savings Bonds offer another.
