American People Face Acid Test in Treasury’s 2nd War Loan To Raise 13 Billion Dollars in Three Weeks The Nation Dare Not Fail in This Greatest Financing Task in History—“They Give Their Lives—You Lend Your Money ” Washington, D. C.—Coming as it does upon the heels of income tax payments, the people of America will face an acid test this month when the Treasury’s Second War Loan drive opens April 12 with an objective of thirteen billion dol lars to be raised through sale of Government securities. A substantial part of this huge financing, the most stu pendous ever undertaken by any government in the world’s history, must be loaned by people in ordinary walks of life. High Government officials have« pointed out that the nation must not fail in this duty to our men on the battle fronts who are now carrying the offensive to the enemy at every stage. It is obvious to every thinking man and woman that as the United Nations take this offensive against the dictators, the cost of war opera tions increases in proportion. The American people must no longer think of war costs in terms of equipping a soldier, building a tank or plane or a ship. We must now think in terms of the cost of bat tles, invasions and new offensives. Attacking armies cost more money than equipping that army and we must meet that increased cost by buying more War Bonds and Second War Loan Securities. They Give Their Lives. It is not only necessary that the American people left here at home assume this additional participation in the war effort—it is an honor to do so . . . for we here at home can do no less than attempt to approach the sacrifices of our brave men out on the fighting fronts to whom the last great measure of sacrifice is but a daily offering. They give their lives ... we are asked only to lend our money. And that is the theme of the Sec ond War Loan, “They Give Their Lives—You Lend Your Money.” Financial experts who know mone tary conditions in the nation point out that at the present time there is in liquid funds, cash and commer cial bank deposits over and above taxes and present investment in Government Bonds, and over and _I above what can be bought this year because of restrictions and ration ing . . . approximately 40 billions of dollars which should go into Gov ernment Bonds. It should be the objective of every American to invest these loose dol lars, idle dollars, in Government se curities, not only from a patriotic standpoint, but from the standpoint of their own financial security. There is available during the Second War Loan a type of Security to fit every pocketbook. Are Wild Dollars Every dollar of these forty billions of dollars available, which is not in vested in Government securities during this War Loan Drive is a “wild” dollar which, together with its mates, will tend to increase infla tion. Uncontrolled inflation might raise the cost of living to a point where the dollar is worthless. It can happen. It happened in Ger many after the last war when the price of a loaf of bread cost more than an annual wage. Invested in Government securi ties, your dollar will work for you. It will hold down inflation because it is harnessed in war work; it will help buy food, transportation, munitions for our boys on the front lines and it will be earning interest that, to gether with your original loan, will come back to you later to help you buy the things you cannot buy today ... to insure your peace of the future. Remember those boys out there ... in Tunisia ... in the South Pacific . . . They give their lives— You lend vour monev. HAPPY EASTER! TO ALL OUR FRIENDS JOE’S Market 2422 NORTH 24th ST. WE-5444 N % PLEASE PRESS CAP BACK ON BOTTLE g What are We Fighting for? (BY RUTH TAYLOR) ! “It’s riot what you would die for —it’s what you’re living for that counts!” He wasn’t much more t'nan eight een, and he didn’t look that oU, but rather like a schoolboy dress up sailer’s clothes. His face with its soft childish lines was very serious as he tried to make clear what he believed. “I’m not going out to die for Eng land”, he said, “’though I’m not a frqiid of death. I’m going out to fight to live for my mother, and a home, and a country where she can live in comfort and security. That’s what I’m living for, and that’s what really counts.” It’s what we’re living for that counts today. To talk of dying is very herdic, but it belongs in the days of slow motion battlefields where enemy faced enemy accord ing to the rules of warfare. To day our battlefields are every wheer—our enemy is unseen until he swoops down from the clouds Or rises up from the depths of the seas. Death lurks in many plac es and under many guises. But it is not what we would die for but what we live for that counts. What are we living for? It is the vision upon which this nation was founded, a union of free men who live for the great and limit less dream of freedom for all. This is the creed of democracy. This is the spirit of the republic. This is the reason why we will win. This is the secret weapon unknown t° the dictator ridden countries. We are living for our home3, our families, our rights as free men to speak the truth as we see i»t. to work at the job w'e want to do, to agree or dissent as citizens without fear of consequences, to earn for our children a better way of life in a better world, and to worship God according to the dic tates of our own consciences. We are living for the ideal that the four freedoms—of speech, ex pression and of worship, freedom from want and from fear may be extended to all peoples of all the world. What are we living for? The Secretary of State expressed it thus, in stating our war aims.— ‘‘We have always believed—and we believe today, that all peoples, without ffistinction of race, color or religion, who are prepared md willing to accept the responsibilies of liberty, are entitled to its en joyment. We have always sought —and we seek today—to encourage and arid all who aspire to freedom to establish their right to it by pre paring themselves to assume its obligations.” This is what we are li\fing for— and it is what we as individuals and as a people are living for that will count In the final victory.! PLAN YOUR VACATION AT HOME Mrs. Amertca should plan to take her vacation this year inside the pages of a travel book, sitting right in her own backyard. Troop movements, more furlough travel, and a rise in war business trips hjave increased passenger travel on railroads alone some 23 percent. And expectations are that that fig ure will be boosted further this summer. If Mrs. America’s war working fair/ly feels that “getting away from it all” is absolutely essential for health and morale, here are some suggestions on how to bog down transportation as little as possible. First, vacation near home. Once you reach your des tinatfrn, plan no side excursions. Don't make quick, overnight trips, or weekend jaunts. Plan to leave and return in the middle of the week. And if travel to the vaca tion spot is long enough to cover a meal period, take a box lunch 'A‘ith you. Overcrowded and under staffed diners must feed hundreds of travelers more important than vacationers. McGlLL’S — BAR & BLUE ROOM E. McGill, Prop 2423-2,'.
