APPEALS FOR AID
FOR WAR WORK

The President has expressed what is
in every American heart. AS a nation
we were united in the winning of this
war. AS nation we stand behind our
fighters, eager and prepared to do for
them whatever will make theirotrials
little lighter.
AS individuals, there is little we
can do. AS a nation, we can work
wonders through the seven organiza-
tons authorized and recognized by the
government.
They come to you not as Catholics,
nor as Jews, nor as Protestants, not
as the representatives of any creed or
enterprise, but as Americans to ask
that you join in this great united un-
dertaking for God and country and
our fighters.
The President has voiced his belief
that this spirit of unity will be
crowned with abundant success"
The President believes it because
he knows this campaign is of vital
military value" and he knows that you
will leave nothing undone to render
to our sailors and soldiers every aid
possible through the seven approved
war service organizations.

campaign as your sole responsibility
What you give will mean its success
You cannot leave this undertaking to
