FOR CHRISTMAS
IS j. s. APPEAL
Governor Calkins Urges Gov.
ernment Securities for Pres
ents Instead of Luxuries

Governor John L. Calkins OF the
San Francisco Federal Reserve Bank
has written a letter TO all banks and
trust companies in the Twelfth Fed
eral Reserve District urging them TO
promote. wherever possible the sale
Of War Savings Stamps and Treasury
Savings Certificates for Christmas
presents this year.
The increased demand for these
Government securities. the Treasury
Savings Certificates being similar TO
War Savings Stamps in denominations
Of 500 and $1,000. is apparent from
The fact that the Federal Reserve
Bank supplied $50 200 worth OF
Treasury Savings Certificates TO eigh-
Teen banks in the district on Noyem
Der 20. which is the largest amount
sold in one day since the close of the
war. On the face OF the demand Of
hese eighteen banks and the in
2reased call for the securities from
all postoffices throughout the Twelfth
Federal Reserve District II would
seem that the Governments holiday
slogan, Give War Savings Stamp
or a Treasury Savings Certificate for
Christmas is being followed out,
and the Government is hoping that by
giving War Savings Stamps and
Treasury Savings Certificates for
Christmas gifts the district will close
ly approximate its War Savings quota
FOR the year.
A portion OF Governor Calkns let
er follows
The Christmas holidays are al
most upon us. Everything points 10
a tremendous outlay OF money in the
purchase OF holiday gifts the greater
portion of which think / am safe in
aying will be luxuries. The present
situation demands not that more
money be spent in the purchase OF
Iuxuries, but that We curtail as much
as possible, with the consequent bene
ACial contraction of credit.
Therefore, | appeal to you as
fellow banker to do everything within
our power to stimulate the purchase
md giving of War Savings Stamps
nd Treasury Savings Certificates as
christmas presents in place Of the us
lal needless and expensive gifts. 1t
seems to me that the responsibility Of
ieading mems minds along the ways
of thrift and simple living rests to a
great extent upon the bankers of the
country and in asking YOU to push
the sales of Treasury securities during
the Christmas holidays, ! am asking
YOU only to take advantage of an op.
portunity to meet this sponsibility."
In addition, Christmas posters car
fyng an appeal TO give War Savings
Stamps and Treasury Savings Certifl-
Gates for Christmas presents will be
distributed throughout the Twelfth
Federal Reserve District, and all
banks have been asked to include a
similar appeal in their advertising

My dear Club worker, Greetings,
and my best wishes to each member of
YOUR club for the coming Christmas
season. This is to be glad season
for US all, yet we must be reminded
hat the people of the United States
today are facing problems that should
be met with clear thinking, cool deter
mination and great courage. The
women of the nation have been called
upon to help in this time of stress and
they are rising to the occasion and Civ
ing aid in many ways. They must
continue this unselfish work until the
present period of unrest has passed,
and the disturbed social life has re
gained its normal camness.
One factor that will help to stabilize
this restlessness is the awakening of
community consciousness and this can
be brought about by group of inter-
ested people. AS the nation is COM
posed of people banded together in
communities, improvement in these
small units will add strength to the
whole structure. Close at hand in
every community are problems that
need attention. These fields of study
have limitless possibilities within the
borders Of each community. The home
job is big one, and, with new sense
of values, its many aspects which were
never before seen as they are now.
Instead of being nation of novel
readers as were the people of yester-
day, they today crave more nourishing
food for their mental diet. Instead of
reading romances, they are concerned
about education. public health. child
welfare and other vital questions.
Through earnest study and deep think
ing they are trying to accomplish con-
seryation of life. of happiness, of civil
and national integrity.
Prohting by the experience of the
past they should face the new problems
with confidence. intelligence and self
control, firm in the hope that, moved
by the spirit of broad altruism and IN.
failing loyalty. they shall help to bal
ance the unrest which is now possess.
ing the world. AS an independent body

nation. Community service is the home

the best in the world.
He saw the foreign roads - in England and
France, the best in Europe - and in other Con-
tinental countries - and he knows.
The part railroads have played in the develop

American railroads have achieved high stand

Gus investment of capital, and by the constant
striving of managers and men for rewards for work
well done.
We have the best railroads in the world we
must continue to have the best.
But they must grow.
To the $4,000 600 now invested in our
railroads. there will have to be added in the next
few years, to keep pace with the nations business,
billions for additional tracks stations and
terminals, and engines, electric power houses
and trans automatic signals, safety devices, the
elimination of grade crossings = and for

duce the cost of transportation.

ding for capital, managers and men - the railroad
industry must hold out fair rewards to capital, to
