text: AU PLUS ÉCONOME la VICTOIRE
V. Prouvé 1918
Sachons nous restreindre.
Si nous consommons peu,
nous ne manquerons de rien,
nous diminuerons nos achats et augmenterons notre vente à l'étranger.
Le front sera mieux et plus vite ravitaillé.
Pour tenir jusqu'au bout, l'ennemi a accepté les privations les plus dures.
Serons-nous moins disciplinés que lui, nous qui avons moins à souffrir?
Nous restreindre, c'est vaincre.

[Victory will go to the most thrifty. We must know how to restrain ourselves. If we don’t consume much, we will lack nothing, we will
reduce our purchases and increase our sales overseas. The front will be better and more quickly supplied. To hold on right to the end, the
enemy has accepted the harshest privations. Will we be less disciplined than him, we who have less to endure? Restraining ourselves means
winning.
