"It has made us proud of the real accomplishments at home; it has made easier the long dreary months of training and waiting. "I ask you therefore to keep those supplies coming and this can be done by supporting the Victory Loan campaign. Let your Canadian soldiers here know that among all the things you are doing, the Victory Loan stands as a symbol of your determination to see this war through with us." Text of Cable. Text of Gen. McNaughton's cable follows: It is nearly three years now since the first contingent of Canadian soldiers to cross the Atlantic in this war landed in Britain.

In those three years we have learned much. We have learned of the ruthless-ness and the precision, the Bavageness and the detailed preparation with which the enemy makes war. We have learned that far more than at any other time in our history, we are fighting not merely for victory but for. our very self-preservation, for our right to live in freedom and happiness and to pass that heritage to our children. And in those three years we, too, have learned something about the art of modern warfare.

We have trained and trained hard. Today, these first Canadians and the thousands who followed Canadians from every city and town and village from Halifax to Victoria and from the farms have been built into a thoroughly modern and effective fighting force. Patiently, quietly, grimly they have prepared themselves for the day that hourly grows nearer. They are prepared to-match the enemy in courage and skill and determination. This, some of our comrades proved at Dieppe.

To Match Sacrifice. There is one thing that we did not have to learn. We already knew that Canada stands behind us. We knew that Canadians of every walk were determined to match the enemy sacrifice for sacrifice and deed for deed. We know those Canadians at home will continue to inspire us and encourage us as they have been doing.

We know that their self-denial, and confidence and unity of spirit and purpose will help us through the perils and hardships that lie ahead. We have seen convoy after convoy loaded with arms and munitions and supplies coming from Canadian factories, the product of Canadian brains and energy and sacrifice. These have been invariably of the first quality. It has made us proud of the real accomplishments at home: it has made easier the long dreary months of training and waiting. I ask you therefore to keep those supplies coming and this can be done by supporting the Victory Loan campaign.

Let your Canadian soldiers here know that among all the things you are doing, the Victory Loan stands as a symbol of your determination to see this war through with us.
