An appeal By President Wilson

This war is n of natons-not Of armies, and all one hundred
million people must be economically and lndustrlany adjusted to a cn
diuon If this nation is to play it's part in the conflict. The problem be-
fore us is nat primarily a financial problem, but rather a problem of in
creased production of war essentials and the saving of the materials and
ne abo necessary FOR the support and equipment of u army and navy.
'Inroughuess expenditure OF money for noneSsentals uses up the labor
Of men, the products of the farm, mines and factories, and overburdens
transportation ,al Of which must be used to the utmost and at their best
for WI purposes
1.-THE great results W seek can be obtained only by the participation
OF every member of the nation, young and old, in a national concerted
thrift movement. I therefore, urge that III people everywhere pledge
themselves, a s suggested by the Secretary Of the Treasury, to the prac-
tce If thrift; to serve the government to their utmost #n Increasing pro-
ducioni in all fields necessary to the winning of the war; to conserve food
and fuel INC useful materials Of every Kind; to devote their labor oly
tt the nos necessary tasks and to buy only those things which ae es-
sential to individual health and efficiency and that the people, a S evil
dence Of their loyalty, invest all they a save in Liberty bonds and
War Savings stamps.
1.-THE securities issued by the Treasury department ae 81 of
them within the reach of everyone that the door Of opportunit in this
matter is wide open to all of Is. To practice thrift in peace times is a
virtue and brings great benefit to the individual at all times: with the des-
perate need of the civilized world today for materials and labor with which
to end the war, the practice Of Individual thrift is a patriotic duty and a
necessity.
II appeal to all who o own either Liberty bonds II War Savings
stamps to continue to practice economy and thrift and to appeal to all
who do nt W government securities to do likewise and purchase them
to the extent of their means. The who bugs government securities
ernment until after this war, and to that San degree does not buy in
competition with the government.
4 earnestly appeal to every man, woman and child to pledge them
selves o or before the 2Sth of June to save constantly and Il buy 40
regularly is possible the securities of the government and to do this
as far a possible through membership in war savings societies. The
18th OF June ends this special period of enlistment in the great volunteer
army OF production and saving here at home. May there be none unen-
listed on that day.
