VICTORY LOAN
BONDS PROVE
SOUND ECONOMY
, By TED R. GAMBLE
National Director, War Finance
Division, U. S. Treasury
The Victory Loan, now under way,
is the crucial test of our war finance
program. We must not only raise
the $11 billion required by the Treas
ury but we must do it in such a man
ner as to avoid the danger of infla
tion and to make secure the Peace
for which over a quarter of a mil
lion of our men have given their
lives. That is why we are asking
for $4 billion from individuals, $2
billion of it from the sale of Series
E bonds.
Why is this money needed? Brief
ly, the reasons may be summarized
£>m*. . ..
Ted R. Gamble
as iouows: 10
bring our veter
ans home and
give them their
mustering - out
pay, to maintain
our armies of oc
cupation, .to take
care of our sick
and wounded vet
erans, to make
prompt settle
ment of our can
celled war con
tracts, and for
other necessary governmental ex
penditures during the next few
months.
The Budget Bureau recently esti
mated total Federal Expenditures
for the 1946 fiscal year at $66.4 bil
lion, or $33.7 billion below 1945. Re
ceipts were estimated at $36 billion,
but these may be reduced somewhat
by the new tax bill. This leaves a
deficit of $30.4 billion, which must be
met by Treasury borrowing. It is
in order to help meet this deficit that
the Treasury decided on the Victory
Loan, the last big public drive for
funds.
As we enter this Victory Loan, I’d
like to review briefly the accom
plishments of our war financing pro
gram. From May 1, 1941, when the
program started, to October 1, 1945,
we raised the huge sum of $207 bil
lion. Furthermore, we raised this
money through a plan of voluntary
savings at the lowest interest cost of
any nation engaged in the war, and
at the lowest selling expense ever
recorded.
In the first seven war loan drives,
we set total quotas of $95 billion for
all investors, and sold $135,749,000,
000 in war loan bonds. Every loan
was oversubscribed. Billions more
were sold in the interim periods be
tween drives. We have sold these
bonds to more than 85,000,000 Amer
icans. By the time this loan is over,
we will have sold one billion individ
ual pieces of the popular Series E
bonds alone.
Where did this money come from?
Our figures show that individuals
provided the Treasury with $49 bil
lion net out of the $98 billion in new
funds that has become available to
them since May 1, 1941—and most
of the remainder went into cash sav
ings or commercial bank accounts.
Insurance companies and savings
banks invested all of the $22 billion
in new funds that they received.
State and local governments invest
ed $5 billion of th $6 billion avail
able. Private corporations had $39
billion of new funds from current
surpluses and we obtained $28 bil
lions of it Most of the remainder
was needed by them for expanded
wartime operations. Federal agen
cies and trust funds invested all of
their $17 billion of new funds in gov
ernment securities.
In short, up to the end of the Sev
enth War Loan, non-bank investors
provided the government with $121
billion net of the $207 billion it had
to borrow since May 1, 1941, the bal
ance of $85 billion being absorbed by
commercial Federal Reserve banks,
most of it in open market purchases.
Except for the investment of a lim
ited portion of their savings depos
its, we have not permitted the banks
to subscribe directly to war loan
securiites in the last five war bond
drives, nor in the current Victory
Loan.
One of the most significant
achievements of our program is the
widespread distribution of the public
debt. Millions of people who never
before saved a penny in their lives,
now own savings bonds. It is esti
mated that three-quarters of the
Series E bonds sold to individuals
were acquired by persons earning
$5000 a year or less. Today, indi
viduals hold almost one-fourth of the
total Federal debt outstanding. An
even larger proportion of the inter
est paid out on this debt will go to
individuals. Obviously, this will
have a tremendous impact on post
war purchasing power.
Investing in Victory Bonds will
build a second economy for the fu
ture. We cannot afford to slump
back into indifference and selfishness
if we are to keep faith with those
who have paid most dearly so that
we could live in a free and peaceful
world. We can and should buy Vic
tory Bonds to the limit of our ability
if for no other reason than to ex
press our gratitude to our fighting
men. They have done their job, and
have done it well. It is up to us to
finish ours, so that they may come
back to the kind of an America they
dreamed about—a land of opportu
nity with full employment, full pro
duction and high income. The Vic
tory Loan is our opportunity to ex
press again our faith in America.
