This is the fateful summer that we have been waiting for; Hitler knows he must win before another winter rolls around, or face inevitable anni hilation; And you can be sure that he will hurl everything he has every gun, plane, soldier and tank into the summer struggle that is even now rising in tempo on every front. And when the command goes out to our fighting men to ATTACK you can be sure they don't look for excuses; Tbey don't hesi tate. They strike fast and hard as they did at Guadalcanal, in Tunisia and in the skies over Europe. NOW the command has come on the home front to attack I To attack with the dollars that buy the weapons of war our boys must have to meet the last desperate assaults of Hitler. Your government asks you to lend it 13 billion dollars during this drive. And this THEY GIVE THEIR LIVES. ..
