OTTAWA,
Nov.
23
Canada's
Seventh
and
greatest
victory
loan
went
soaring
over
the
top
because
Canadians,
on
average.
chipped
In
about
$20
more
per
person
than
in
the
previous
Sixth
loan.
This
seems
to
be
the
only
answer
which
officials
can
give
to
a
loan
success
which
almost
literally
swept
them
off
their
Xeet.
Final
figures
for
the
loan
exceeded
the
$1.5
billions
jack
poV-jpr
this
total,
$725itn
$750
cash
applications
(exclusive
of
special
names).
In
the
special
names
category
the
total
ran
up
to
$760
millions.
Looking
behind
the
scenes
at
this
newest
loan
achievement,
officials
found
themselves
worried
because
there
were
no
worries.
They
could
not
figure
why
there
wasn't
any
"grief"
or
why
things
were'nt
going
"sour"
as
is
usual
about
the
middle
of
the
loan.
,
They
attribute
the
success
largely
to
the
two
factors
realization
on
the
part
of
Mr.
and
Mrs.
Average
Canadian
that
the
war
was
far
from
won;
secondly,
the
tremendous
cum
ulative
effort
of
systematic
saving
on
the
rank
and
file
of
Canadian
people.
And
one
very
Important
fact:
Victory
loan
campaigns
have
been
kept
scrupulously
away
from
politics.
The
cabinet
crisis
didn't
seem
to
"phiz"
on
the
loan
organization
so
far
as
could
be
determined.
Perhaps
It
came
too
late.
Anyhow,
it
didn't
seem
to
matter.
Another
highlight:
much
better
sales
results
In
provinces
like
Saskatchewan
where
over
all
quotas
in
previous
loans
had
been
low.
This
suggests
a
gen
eral
"evening
up"
in
results
across
the
provincial
board
and
a
further
Improvement
in
the
sales
organization
generally.
