CANADIAN PATRIOTIC FUND

Seventy cents per capita of population, men, women and
children, was Canada’s contribution towards the support of soldiers’
families during the first year ofthe war. While this was more than
sufficient for the requirements of that period, it falls considerably
short of the contribution that will be required during the next 12
months, The total estimated requirements for that period will be
$7,600,000, or about $1,00 per head of population.

This amount should be easily raised once the prime importance
of the Patriotic Fund is realized, Soldiers are essential to British
victory. Soldiers are only obtainable if decent provision is made
for their families, The public, through the Patriotic Fund, must
make that provision.

The following tables show the contributions by provinces during
the first year and the estimated requirements by provinces during
the second year.
