Mr.. Fonville has returned to his

The need for the billions the Vic
tory bonds viii bring is plain to any
man who stops to think. The war is
not over, though the actual fighting
has ceased. The bills are still running
up. Millions of men are still in uni
form. drawing pay and food aad cloth-
ing. The Secretary OF the Treasury
declares:
Government contracts cannot be re-
pudiated. The goods must be peid for
in full. Our shipbuilding activities
must be carried OUT
So, it can easily be seen that The
Job is not finished. What wolii you
think Of farmer who buils lin a
house, laying the foundations, putting
up the walls, ceiling the rooms-and
forgetting the root?
The roof will not be put on our ma
tional house until the Job is finished
and the bills paid.
The campaign for Victory bonds will
begin on April 21. The exact details
of the issue have not yet been an
nounced, but it is considered certain
that the bonds will be made an unusu-
ally attractive investment.
