LET US REJOICE

General Pershing's staff re-
ports officially that if the war
had lasted six months longer
one hundred thousand more
American soldiers would have
been killed.
One hundred thousand of these
boys that are coming back to us
every day now, would have been
dying in the mud of France if
the armistice had been signed last
Thursday instead Of last Novem-
Der.
Are we grateful to those who
died?
Are we grateful to those who
were manned for life in our fight?
Are we grateful to have so
many boys back with us safe
and sound?
Is there enough gratitude in
the world to express the thanks
giving in our hearts because vic
tory came 40 soon?
The money that you are put
ting into the Liberty Loan is the
money that was spent to end the
war six months perhaps twelve
months sooner; to save the lives
of one hundred thousand or may
be four hundred thousand Amer
lean boys, to bring your boy safe
~ home for he might have beer
one of that four hundred thous
and saved from French mud.
Wells he not worth it? Ii
not each one of that four hun
bred thousand worth it to hi
loved ones?
Was it not cheap at that
Dollars can not measure the val
ue of American life.
We have a lot to be Thankful
for-we might all have beer
wearing those little black arm
bands with the gold star.
Put your joy into action, no
words. Help pay for your boy
life with a Victory Liberty LOAF
bond.

JUST FACTS

The governmental the United
States is your government.
That government has given its
sacred word to do certain things.
These things require the ex-
penditure of great sums of
money.
Your government must keep
its word, must spend these sums
Of money.
This money can only be secur-
ed now in two ways: either by
taxation or by borrowing.
Taxes are high enough, are
they not? Nevertheless, they
will not produce enough to meet
the present need.
Then, the only way the United
States can pay for peace is by
} borrowing the balance needed
$4,000, 600, 900.
All right then, your govern
ment must borrow 81, 500, 900, 600
and since other countries have
no money to lend, it must borrow
this money in the United States
and from one or two sources.
Your government must borrow
from the banks and other finan.
cial institutions orit must borrow
,, from millions of patriotic citizens.
! If this money could be borrow.
ed from the banks, would it be
wise? With all of their capita
tied up in Government securities,
, how could the banks perform
Y their normal functions of financ
ing regular business enterprises
K and development projects? With
I out being financed, how coult
3 factories and business operate
+ how could the country be devel
oped, how could people live
!, Think it overl
/ Very we'll then, there is on,
/. course left open. Your govern
mept must borrow from YOU ant
h from every other individual VI
k to each ones limit of lending.
# Hence the Victory Libert.
