By VIM. R. COMPTON. Federal Director of War Loan.

This will be the last of all the great loans which the Liberty Loan Organi- Eation has been called upon to place and when the campaign closes on May 10th. the job will be finished Success will surely come to the Eighth Dis trict, as it has in previous campaigns. and we shall leave behind us an un- broken record. and history will kno,g that the people of this section of America proudly accomplished their portion of the financial undertakings Of our Government incident to the great war for Freedom and Liberty.
 I have heard some people express the thought that since the armistice was signed there is no individual re- sponsibility to finance our nation. am firmly convinced that this Is not the thought of the great American peo- pie and when there has been brought sQuarely home to them the realization that the debts and obligations of the United States of America are the debts of each individual. that severally and collectively, when we entered this war we pledged our entire assets and income to carry on until. the last pen ny had been paid. and that national honor can only be saved through each individual doing his part to maintain the credit of our great country, there will be no trouble in placing this loan as others have been placed heretofore.
 hn No k- terms. maturity and payment It will mean an investment which will be sought after by men of wealth as we'll as those of modest means: but it must be remembered that no financial un- dertaking running into the billions of dollars can be placed entirely with people who have idle money and who are seeking investment in an interest bearing security. It therefore be- comes necessary for each to do his or her share.
 Someone said that a part of this money was wasted My answer to this is that war is waste. It is waste of life. of human energy, of property, of raw material. It is waste of men tality. We undertook to do a tremen- dous job and to finish it at the earliest possible moment. It was finished months. nay years, in anticipation of the widest dreams of our people. It was finished because of reckless ex- penditure of funds: it was finished in time to avoid the slaughter and sac rifice Of hundroda of fhourorSS If o,,- gallant young men. It was finished in time to avoid the payment of billions upon billions of dollars which would have been incident to even one year more of active warfare, and in the waste of hurried preparedness we saved. We saved all that was dear to us-frst and greatest of all, the lives of our sons; and. second, our material, property and income-and we may share for all time to come the free dom of free people. We have little to grumble about and everything for which to be thankful
 I send this message to every faith full Liberty Loan worker: Get back of the Victory Loan; do 1t quickly. Promote enthusiasm in your city. county. community This should be and this will be the easiest loan of all to sell and we are going to the battle l line with the same enthusiasm, with the same determination for success. that brought victory to the great American Army on the far distant shores of suffering France on that fate
