In recent statement Lewis h.
Franklin, director Of the U. s. war
loan organization at Washington,
said:
"With a program that will in
volve the expenditure OF more than
thirty-six billion dollars during the
fiscal year ending June 30, 1919, 1t Is
evident that every citizen Of the Unit
ed States must devote very consider
able part of his total earnings to the
needs Of his country. No definite rules
can be laid down as to each mans
share. The rule Of conscience Will be
the best guide. The intelligent pa
triotic citizen In these times Of trial
will reduce his personal expenditures
by eliminating needless luxuries, by a
careful supervision of his annual bud
get, by insisting upon the elimination
Of waste by himself, his family and
his entire household.
Gle will indulge himself in enter
tainments to a less degree than here
tOfore and will at the same time en-
deavor to increase his earning power
to the maximum. When this Is accom-
pllshed he will find that the amount
which he has available for investment
has been largely increased, and |
hardly feel that any argument Is need
ed to persuade him that often mil
lions of our men risked their lives,
the dollars which he IL accommodating
should without hesitation be loaned to
the government"
All Of which puts the share problem
