enemy commander by announcing
from the raked deck of his half
sinking Bon Homme Richard that
he had not yet begun to fight.
The Defense Bond drive is in
no sinking condition, but it is nev-
ertheleSs time for the American
people to announce that they are
ready to begin buying. In Decem-
ber, despite thc stimulus of the
attack on Hawaii and the Philip
pines, sales of Defense Bonds and
Stamps were just under a half bill
lion dollars. We are in for a SO
billion dollar war budget. Half of
that, at least, ought to be put up
by citizens in the form of bond
and stamp purchases. That means L
half-billion in a week, not a month.
