Money is called the sinows Of war.
It takes money 70 clothe, equip, support
mon. to buy munitions, 20 furnish trans
portation, and to do the thousand things
necessary TO make war success. The
government could take the money from
as. Instead. it offers us an attractive
investment; bonds, that are negotiable
non-taxable, convertible. Subscription is
a patriotic duty. Il is a high privilege
A crisis is uron us. Civilization is at
