BANKERS ASKED TO DO PART
IN DEFENSE EFFORT

Calling on the public and bankers
to do their part in the national de-
Tense effort and warning against in
fiatiOn, John E. Wise, president of
the Ohio Bankers association, spoke
before the annual meeting of group
seven of that organization at ZaneS-
vile, last Thursday night.
The banker-president urged the
wide purchase of defense bonds and
stamps by the public; the strict
compliance with new restrictions on
installment buying and lending;
and the curtailment of non-defense
expenditures by the government.
Sound fiscal policies must be
adopted by our government despite
their political effect. Sound policies
mean curtailment of nOn-defense
spending, increased taxes distribut-
ed fairly, some curtailment of credit
and probably degree of control of
prices. Failure to follow such a
program can mean only trend to-
ward imitation with it's accompany
ing disasters

traitor for the defense bond cam
paign, spoke on behalf of that move

tributions they have made to 1T
