high gear, putting these factories to
work in the production of finished
materials in ever-increasing quanti-
ties. Before the end of this year
we will find our Government spend
ing more for defense than for all
other purposes combined.
At this point, our future is clearly
visible. AS far as our pocketbooks
are concerned. tomorrow is marching
from the horizon quickly toward us.
Part Of those billions for defense
used mostly to buy American mate
rials and to pay American labor
have begun to flow back into our
pockets, in the form Of increased
wages, more overtime pay and larger
dividends on stocks.
Spending Spree in Last War.
America is feeling boomy. Wages
have risen faster than the price Of
the things we spend our wages for;
our income has risen faster than
our outgo.
This was also true for a time
during the last war, and spending
spree resulted. Perhaps some of you
remember that it was not uncommon
then to see day laborers working in
silk shirts. Perhaps some Of you
remember, too. the economic dislo-
cation which followed. AS America
moved rapidly into the production
of war materials, the production of
other things-clothes. furniture, and
so on-dropped. Even for a time
after the war. many of the everyday
things that we wanted to buy were
scarce and high in cost: those Of us
Evening star., 1941-05-06

who had spent on silk shirts had to
pay dear for cotton shirts.
That is one thing we want to
avoid now. We want to live soberly
today so that we will not regret to-
morrow.
On the one hand, our decision to
build our defenses with all our
might means inevitably that our
production of everyday, goods will
decline. If John Smith and Martha
Jones move from their present jobs
into war industries, then their labor
no longer can be used for the pro-
duction Of everyday goods. If alum
mum is needed for planes, then its
use for making pots and pans must
be limited. In the absence of other
factors. this transition would result
in a blowing up Of prices to far
above normal proportions.
On the other hand. however. the
people have voluntarily decided to
put an increased portion of their
income into national defense. We
have chosen, as q Nation. to increase
our purchases Of war goods; and to
limit the amount Of our incomes
which can be spent on other things
The number of potential buyers of
goods will be limited along with the
amount Of goods themselves, and a
balance will be maintained. This is
the first. firm line Of defense against
imitation.
Investment for Tomorrow.
In this line OF defense taxes are
our Regular Army. and Defense
saving stamps and Defense savings
bonds are our volunteers. Through
their representatives in Congress,
the people vote the taxes. AS indi-
vidual citizens, they will make up
their minds to contribute still more
to defense funds. and to their own,
personal futures. too.
For the savings bonds will pay
for national defense today-and
when their value. plus interest, is
returned to you, they will pay for
those things that you want to do
and we all want to do in our world
of tomorrow.
Our pocketbooks are all sizes. and
the Defense bonds now being offered
by the Treasury are all sizes, too
There are thousands among you
listening tonight who have already
bought your first Defense savings
bonds or your first Defense savings
stamps. Some of you know perhaps
better than I can tell you what the
securities are.
Our bonds are divided into three
families: E, r and G. The F and
G series are meant primarily for
persons and corporations who make
a practice of investing their earn
ings They carry interest of about
2la per cent. Although they may
be redeemed beforehand, the date
when they come due is II years
from the time of purchase.
The E bond is for the individual
with a moderate or small income
who still wants to do his part as
volunteer. E bonds vary in size
from one which can be bought for
$1875 to another priced at $3.50.
They carry a higher interest rate
than the F and G bonds-2 9-10 per
cent-and they come due two years
earlier-that is, in 10 years from
the time of purchase.
In 10 years, the Treasury will buy
these bonds back for a third more
than you paid for them. The $1875
bond will be worth s25, and the
$3.50 bond will be worth $1,000
The r and G bonds are meant for
Evening star., 1941-05-06

to do business at convenient places
at your bank. at your post ofiice.
Up to now I have talked mostly
about how volunteer bonds and
stamps will affect the country and
its economy. Your decision about
your own savings program naturally
will depend on how the purchase of
bonds and stamps will affect you.
Nobody in this country will tell
you or Is going to tell you that you
must do this or that with your
money. You earned it, and you
have perfect right to do with it
what you please. Some Of you, par
ticularly, should not participate in
the bond and stamp program for
the time being because of pressing,
prior claims on your income.
Those Of us who are employed
now for the first time in a long
time, those Of us who are in a posi-
ton for the first time to maintain
an adequate standard of living, those
of us who are assuming new family
responsibilities-all of us who fall
into these categories should first
provide for our vital wants.
Should Remember Last War.
For the great bulk OF us-perhaps
so 900 900 or more-who can imme-
diately begin to invest in savings
stamps, and bonds, common sense
should dictate what proportion Of our
income we will spend and what
proportion we will set aside.
We should all remember the men
who bought silk shirts in the last
war and then afterward had to
scrimp to buy cotton ones. Among
the definite things In the future
which we must take for granted is a
period of postwar readjustment -
when John Smith and Martha Jones
perhaps after time OF looking for
Jobs move back into normal en-
ployment from war industry, and
when our aluminium goes back into
pots and pans.
Then we will move most smoothly
forward with what we hope to do
and want to do tomorrow If we have
reserves for this settling-doWn pc
riod Reserves then will help us to
carry ahead our normal lives-es-
tablishing Our comfort and security
and getting on with our future in
peacetime world.
But for the present. our stamps
and bonds must serve a wartime
purpose. Americans, least of all
peoples, need to be told that dollars
are weapons. This was a rich con-
tinent when Columbus discovered
1t four and half centuries ago.
We have made it richer still. Our
skill. hard work and teamwork have
mined riches out of the ground and
grown them out of the earth.
Life Richer In U. S.
Once earned. our dollars have
fought the good fight against
poverty. ignorance and disease, and
have conquered time and distance.
Our wide country is close knit,
bound around by an endless net
work of roads and communications
Our life in this Nation of ours, en-
livened by a thousand opportuni-
ties for pleasure and self-better-
ments, is incompariably richer and
more varied than the life on any
other continent or in any other
country on the globe
Our machine civilizat ton leads all
other, and to those who say that
this has made us soft, l answer
that as a matter OF fact We have
been getting tougher and tougher

habitual investors; the E bond is
the peoples bond. You may buy
E bonds for yourself; II you are
married, you may buy them in the
name and on behalf Of husband or
wife, or for both of you at once;
you may buy for son or daughter
Right now Defense savings bonds
will buy guns, planes and tanks
Tomorrow they may buy a new sci

If you are among those who can.
not afford to buy savings bond
out of a single pay check, then
savings stamps are within your
reach. These are sold in the same
places as bonds-that is, in banks
and at post off1ces-and they come
in denominations of from 10 cents
to IS. They do not earn interest;
but each stamp buyer receives All
album in which he can save his
stamps, and when he has accumu-
lated enough Of them, he can ex-
change them for an interest-bear-
ing bond.
Lets Public Participate.
During the past few days some
of you undoubtedly have bought
Government bonds for the first
time in your lives; others may be
thinking that you never in your lives
heard SO much talk about them.
For this there is an excellent
reason. N the past the Treasury
has sold most of its bonds to banks
and investors-and with lower offer
ings of interest than are made
available to you now. Such issues.
of course, will be continued, but
today the Treasury does not merely
wish to raise money-which 1t could
do readily enough through the
banks-but it wishes to let every
American who is able and willing
to do so buy share in his country
and stock in his own future. Thus,
he becomes partner in the Nation
and shares in this country always
have been and always will be the
most rock-solid investment in the
world.
The dollar value of Defense saw
ings bonds is as indestructible as
the hardness of diamonds. Only
the Government can sell them. and
only the Government can buy them
back. They cannot be traded or
the exchanges. and they cannot be
swapped; they cannot be beater
down in value. nor pushed up in
price except through the normal
accumulation of interest.
Subject to the single restriction
that you cannot return bonds soone,
than so days after the first day Of
the month you bought them, the
Treasury always will pay you al
least what you paid for the bonds
And the longer you keep the bonds
the more their value will rise.
Permit Systematic Saving.
The Treasury frankly wishes you
to buy savings bonds, but neither il
nor any other Government depart
ment is going to stage campaign
to make you do so. The bonds will
not serve their purpose If you buy
one bond or a dozen and then stop.
They are put forward as means
for every citizen to carry out a con-
sistent savings program, to be fol-
lowed week by week or month by
month.
That is why we are not making a
campaign. We are hanging out our
shingle to let you know that We are
in the business of selling bonds. We
are doing business and will continue
