but more particularly for the way in which it was done.
 "Lansing's quota was oversubscribed by noon of the opening day of the campaign, and 1t was all done without solicitation-every nickel of it was sub scribed voluntarily. The first two days of the campaign had been set aside as volunteer days-and to everyone who subscribed during that period was given a tag bearing letter V. By noon of April 6, nearly everyone in Lansing was wearing a letter V and the few who weren't were feeling mighty uncomfortable. The campaign was over before it started, and it wasn't a campaign at all. It was simply a race to see who could offer his money first,
 Tt seems to me that this accomplish ment is worthy of serious considera- | tion-not only for the lesson it may | teach with respect to the handling of | future loans, but also because it indi- cates so clearly in my opinion that the greater community's prosperity, the better able it is to contribute freely to l the governments needs.
 Tt has been stated occasionally since we got into this war that any ihuuoeiy WHICH ulu not ul- rectly and immediately to the winning of the war was non- essential and should be suspended or discontinued Fortunately the automobile industry has been able to offer so many con | vincing proofs of it's war time import ance-many automobile plants having been converted either wholly or ir large part. into the manufacture o1 urgently needed supplies-that it is nc longer on the defensive as it was a year ago.
