ABOUT THE
s
AS WE MOVE closer to victory, it wouldn’t
MJL be surprising if you were saying to your
m % self—“What’s the big idea of asking for
all this additional money now? Isn’t the war
almost over?”
No sir, it is not I Not by a long shot. Of course,
for many months now you've heard mostly about
the war with Germany, where our greatest effort
is concentrated. That’s why many people have
the idea that the war’s practically over.
But make no mistake about it—nothing could
be farther from the truth! The Japanese war is a
tremendous undertaking, and victory will come
high. We’ll have to fight every inch of the way.
Everything Costs More—
in the Pacific War
The European war is expensive, but almost
everything in the Pacific war will cost more. Take
transport costs, for instance: Because of the
longer distances, the same amount of freight costs
25 per cent more when shipped to the South Pa
cific than to Europe. And it takes twice as many
cargo ships in the Pacific to support a task force
of a given size because turn-around time is twice
as great!
More Planes... Tanks... Ships... Oil
In addition, we shall need more of everything.
More B-29 Superfortresses that cost $600,000
each. More P-47 Thunderbolts that cost $50,000
each. More M-4 Tanks, wijh bulldozer blades,
r
that cost $67,417 each. More amphibious tanks
—more aircraft carriers—more supply ships—
more gasoline and oil than it took for the invasion
of Europe!
Care for the Sick and Wounded
And lest anyone forget, we shall need more bat
talion aid stations—more clearing stations—more
evacuation hospitals—more convalescent hospitals
—more hospital ships.
For many, many years the sick, wounded, and
otherwise disabled veterans will require medical
attention and care. That’s the least Uncle Sam
can do in appreciation of what they’ve done for us.
Maintenance for Millions
Did you ever stop to think how much money it
costs to maintain the 11 to 12 million men and
women in our army and navy? Whether the men
are actually fighting or not, they must be fed,
housed, transported from one training center or
battle area to another, cared for in a hundred and
one different ways. That all costs money and will
continue to until the last man demobilized is back
in civilian clothes.
In addition, millions of dollars will be required
for mustering-out pay, for various benefits and
services voted by Congress to help the boys get
started in civilian life.
These are reasons enough why patriotic Amer
icans will want to buy heavily during the Sixth
War Loan. But here are still more—
Winning the Peace—for Your Country
If we’re to win the peace as well as the war, the
cost of living must be kept down and the purchas
ing power of money preserved. A reckless infla
tion that would necessarily be followed by the
catastrophe of deflation—with its unemployment,
bankruptcies, misery and heartache—must be
prevented at all cost.
Let’s make no mistake—a dangerous period
lies ahead. The American people have nothing to
fear, however, if they show in the future the same
common sense they have shown in the past, and
continue to put every penny over rock-bottom ex
penses into the purchase of more and more ~Wir
Bonds
Winning the Peace — for Yourself
Want another important reason? Yourself!
There isn’t a better or safer investment in the
world today than War Bonds. In helping your
country, you are also helping yourself! Never in
our entire history has it been so necessary to save
as right 'now. We’ll need money, individually, for
education, repairs, replacements, re
tirement—and we’ll need a lot of it.
As you can see there are many rea
sons, important reasons, why our Gov
ernment must have the financial sup
port of everyone, and have it for many
months to come.
Let all Americans do their part—
for their own sake, for their country’s.
