Victory . Matter Of Money.
But this war IL a progressive thing
I II cannot be won through things we
have done. but must be carried on TO
victory through things which We must
! do In the future. On one side we see
that splendid host OF young men car.
rying our banners In the bsttlefelds
OF France and Flanders. On the other
side We must remember that war. and
. this war more than any other war
! which was ever waRed, IL a matter OF
!. food. OF sheHer. OF clothing. OF NUM-
tons. OF weapons, OF roads. OF en-
gines or cars. OF ships, OF hospitals.
OF medicines, and OF everything which
gives to our boys in the field that mag
nihcent dash, and vim. and power
which has struck the German soldiers
with dismay
In other words, winning this war is
q matter OF money
II is a matter OF money not only for
the treasury of the United States, but
for all our allies.
When you bny a Liberty bond or a
War Savings Stamp II means money !
for the United States treasury.
When you pay your income taxes |
or any of your other contributions to |
the government il means money for |
the United States treasury.
But money is only a representative
of value and medium OF exchange
DO not look upon your dollar as a
mere piece Of currency Do not look
upon the United States treasury as
mere repository OF your funds.
Our Treasury UNFOLDING World.
The United States treasury today
is the god atlas who holds the world
upon his shoulders.
II furnishes money to everyone OF
our allies which needs money II
bresthes hope and confidence into any
allied army which is losing heart i
puts IN the field the great gun which
answers the German gun with shot for
shot 1t Keeps our armies going for
ward instead Of backward. It holds the
line against the German onslaught.
The treasury OF the United States IL
The power behind our own army and
all the armies OF our allies.
During the coming year this nation
must raise $24, 900 100000 We have
called these loans in the past Liberty
oans. 1t is about time to begin call
ng them Victory loans. Whatever
We call them, however, $4,000, 900, 900
Turing the next year the United States
government must have to carry out our
,reat, magnificent and worldsaving
Program. About $4,000, o0o, 900 OF this
must be raised by loans, and $4,000
10000 by taxation.
II We do not raise this money the
United States treasury will have
allied, and when the United States
fails the war Is lost. II the
,ar is lost. democracy is lost--the
'orld IL lost.
The raising Of this $4,000, 100000 IL
tremendous task. II is the supreme
ut Of the greatness Of America.
Must Give Half Our Earnings.
The whole earning power Of this
,untry Is about SEC, 900, 000, 900 year;
D that out of every $50 produced In
lis country during the next year the
overnment must have $24 The d.
sion Of our wealth during the next
ear must be practically on = $3.50
asis with the government
Now, anyone can see that this thing
ust be done.
w OoI De DoNE.
Anyone can see that II we give 80
r cent of all we produce to the gov
nment we cannot live as we always
I'VE lived.
During the past year or 80 we have
st been scraping up the loose change
ID handing It to the government TO
lance the war. We must now go to
e very heart OF our ability and give
It'll this great piece Of financial work
accomplished.
He who pays taxes IN whatever form
ey may rest upon him, must pay,
d pay cheerfully, to make up that
600, 900, 900 which we must raise by
ration.
He who has money must invest 1t
Liberty bonds and War Savings
lmps, 30 as to furnish his share Of
It $4,000. 900, 900 which the govern
mt must borrow
he who has no money to invest must
re, and invest his savings
Must Become Even stinpy.
We must become a saving, an eco
nical. thrifty. a stingy nation
Yards everything but war.
Ne must 60 ragged and shabby.
We must turn and dye and renovate
old clothes.
