Pew of us realize the tremendous
-wealth of tho United States. In the
various branches of the United State."
treasury there are held more than
three billions of dollars the greatest
amount of wealth ever held by any otic
government In tho world's history.
Comptroller Williams snys that tho
assets of tho national bnnks of tho
United States aggregate more than six
teen billions of dollars exceeding by
more than Ave billions of dollars the
combined resources of the banks of
Mnglaud, France, Italy, Spain, Nor
way, Sweden, Denmark, .Japan and
Germany.
It is almost impossible to comprc
lioud tho great amount of wealth In
this couutry. Thoro Is no danger of
us "golug broke" because of the war
with Oormauy.
Our success in this war deponds
largely on this one polut. If this vast
amount of wealth is hopt circulating,
it can pay all our war debts and enable
us to help win tho war for the world's
freedom. If it is withdrawn from cir
culation, and businnss suffers, the
effect will be disastrous.
You can do no more patriotic ser
vice today than to keop cool, realize
that we are in no danger, and lcep
right on living your life as you have
been doing the last three years.
Remember, every time you are tempt
ed to practice "hysterical economy'1
that you are helping the enemy by
throttling business. Do not indulge
