AMERICA IS NOW
REALIZING MANY
CHANCES OFFERED
THE SACRIFICES SHE MADE FOR
CIVILIZATION SHOULD BE
CAPITALIZED.
THRIFT MUST BE PROTECTED
Government Is Relying On Sale Of
MAJ Savings Stamps for the
Money Needed.

Do you remember that some months
ago we were ~loaning u Allies a few
million dollars every day to help then
in carrying on the wal against {
common enemy We were liberal IL
our allowances Of financial assistance
while the fighting was going on, while
the Hun was still standing defiantly
on the "HindenburS Line"
II we are wise we will be liberal in
assisting our friends to make their
reorganization plans for the future,
The first money WI loaned to our
Allies was for the more or less selfish
purpose of self-preservation. The
world was menaced by Prussianism
and we were menaced with the rest.
But the loans that : make in the
future will help in guaranteeing Amer.
lean commercial prosperity.
None Of us want a period of de.
preston and panic and business trou.
BILE here. We want the world to get
back to work. back to production,
back to money-making and upbuilding
instead Of money spending and de-
struction.
There ought to be a tremendous de.
mand upon American industries in
the rebuilding of broken France,
shattered Belgium, Roumania, north
Italy and Serbia. Upon this demand
Will depend In no small the
amount Of American prosperity in
the near future.
Europe will be the market place for
all manner Of American made articles
for a long time, but most of all they |
will want raw materials, construction
materials, implements, tools and ma
The demand for these will
into billions Of dollars.
We have all the materials that will
needed. We have the resources
md the manufacturing plants ready to
tart to work. Our plants are enor-
nous and are In far better condition
han those Of Europe. We are ready
% switch over u plants into the
Of what ever it may be
hat Europe needs and can pay for.
We have had these things for years
'ut we have had no export trade to
mount to anything. We had no for.
ign trade organization and 1t must
70 confessed, too. that we had the
will Of the world.
But now we have the good will of
he world. Our friendship with the
atoms Is we'll nigh universal. BY
aising the necessary loans to keen
business of the government mov-
lg as it should move we will further
trengthen the position of the nation
9th at home and abroad. We will
lake l. easily possible for us to get
ut in the world and realize world
It will mean something !
to all Americans in the
ears to come. =
The people we have fought shoulder "
shoulder with. the nations whom we l
v assisted in the darkest financial :
ours by timely and large loans, will :
glad to buy Of us. {
But much money must be at hand {
II Uncle Sans use in re-establishing =
ade and commerce, before this can u

$1,000, according to an estimate Of !
le Federal Reserve Board. The Z

sources to take care Of the enter. G

Government nlans m maLa tho u

This gives the prosperity 8

Its solemn promise to pay at a III
