NO DIETING UP NOW

Uncle Sam was never 2r1uder OF the

And justly so.
Never in any war. since the surrender

And in this greatest war the old world
has ever known it was the ianks that
stepped into the breach at the crucial
moment and brought victory.
So Uncle Sam has all the right in the
world to be proud.
you just as much as they did Uncle
Sam. They were fighting for your lib
erty just as :hcy were fighting for his
honor.
They were fighting for the perpetua:
for before the world. Aye more. For
the liberties Of the world itself.
And whether you. personally. are
grateful. there is no question of the
gratitude of the world at large:
1t halls Uncle Sam as the Moses that
led it out Of the shadows of despair into
the light OF hope. Into the newer.
broader democracy.
AS these khak-clad doughboys did
their full duty. TO the utmost all the
way through, so too must We who did
not 60, to the front keep up our end.
There must be no letting UP now that
the fight is won.
Our part is not finished entirely.
There are still some billions Of finan.
cial obligations to meet. Uncle Sam
stands pledged to this.
And cur dollars, yours and mine and
the other fellows. must pay the bill.
