To The Editor, Daily Alaska En- pire, Juneau, Alaska, Jan. 2.-Last Tuesday there appeared in The Empire a news item containing the information that MT. Fred Aver had been appointed assistant ad- ministrator" to promote the sale of defense bonds in Alaska.
 Before The Empire was pub lished that day had been told by an employee of the government that the appointment had been made and that it carried a sub stantial salary and provision for expenses. My informant added that he had been about to purchase some bonds, but that if 8 portion of his savings were to be employed to hire man to sell him the bonds, he would buy none. Within the space of a few hours similar comments were made to me by four other prospective purchasers of bonds, and these four were joined by many others after the publica- tion of the news item was made 1; and I am sure, MT Editor, that you could add still others.
 As matter of fact I am prompt ed to write this letter because of the requests of several such per- sons.
 First I desire to say that I am not at all in accord with anyone's refusal to buy defense bonds at this time of very great national peril solely on the ground that DOT tion of the money so invested will be wasted. We have been so long accustomed to waste and extrava- gance, both in our private affairs and in government, and it has be- come so illgrained in our natures that we may deem it necessary, as a part of our national policy and as an individual characteristic, to carry or attempt to carry it through the war.
 We are facing a long, hard, bloody and destructive war Already we are even to adequately defend fenSive and are destine to play tbot ,-oIo for ,,,o,,x, ,,,o,t1,c ,,arlope for years. If we are to win, or if we are even to aequately defend our country, our property, our homes and our lives and retain our independence and at least por- ton of our liberty, the war must be financed. Guns, planes, ships, bombs, food, clothing, all kinds of equipment necessary to fight, are essential, and they cannot be had without money. Therefore the ques- ton of finances is of first impor- tance.
 It is not merely the management of these almost uncounted billions that weighs heavily on those in authority. There is also the com plicated business of imposing un- precedented taxes, and of borrow ing to the very limit all the money that can be borrowed without cracking up our whole economy. Part of the business is to keep our warped federal financial struc- ture from collapsing under such a strain as it has never had before.
 If it is utterly impossible to de
The Daily Alaska empire., 1942-01-02

{ this without some waste, then 1t is the duty of every patriotic per- son to submit to the waste.
 But, MT. Editor, it is also the first duty of every person who has his country's interest at heart and who is alive to his own personal interest and mindful of his own salvation in this dread hour to endeavor to make it possible and necessary to eliminate all indiyid- ual waste and extravaganza and to urgently insist that the govern ment do likewise. If we have pro- ceeded so far down the easy road that there is for us no turning back, then God help us, for we shall have to bear a tremendous , additional burden in our struggle against Japan, Germany and Italy, a handicap of which they are free.
 MT. Morgenthau, Secretary of the Treasury. has recently stated that one billion dollars annually can be cut from the appropriations of the federal government for non- defense purposes. Senator Byrd, who heads an economy committee Of Congress says two billions can well be saved and should be saved and must be saved.
 Every citizen should protest to Senator Byrds committee against every indication of unnecessary governmental exp allure that that comes to his attention. This is no time for carping criticism. It is no time for anything that sa- vors of politics; but certainly the time has arrived when our people, if they are to render intelligent and effective service for their own security, should face realities.
 may be wrong, and ii so, I shall freely admit it; but surely the people of Alaska have a sufficient sense of patriotism, self interest, instinct of survival, and the will to defend their country, themselves, their families, their property, their jobs and their lives by the devo- tion of all their earnings and sav- ings above living expenses and taxes to the purchase of defense bonds without the necessity of hiring anyone, no matter how com petent or talented, to urge them to do so.
 Of course publicity is necessary selling campaigns must be organ ized and much work must be done; but certainly it can be done by volunteers. During the first world war millions of dollars worth of Liberty bonds were allotted to AL aska and sold through the efforts of such volunteers and unpaid workers. It can be done again. It must be done again. The issue of the magazine Time of December 29, 1941, carries an article about an address made in Chicago by the Secretary of the Treasury to 262 members of the Defense Savings Organization, volunteer bond selling group, and of the promised unpaid services of 100000 U. S. retailers, 100000 insurance com
 pany salesmen, 85,000 investment
