SEEMS TO me it's time we
sat down and did little realis-
tic thinking about this war bond
campaign.
There have been miles of
words written on it already. But
precious few of them have got
ten under our skin.
Practically all such articles
try to coax us along by saying
what heroes we'll be if we give
our all for our country. And
we've been coaxed, petted and
flattered for so long that we
actually believe this. So we go
out and buy a SIS bond and
imagine we're Washington at
Valley Forge. We aren't.
Not Heroes
The simple truth is this: We
are not giving our ALL when
We buy a SIS or a 500 or a
$4,000 bond. Nor are we heroes.
We are a nation with its back
against the wall. Whether we
know il or not. we are fighting
for our lives, and the odds are
very far from being in our
favor.
We can be licked and we will
be licked unless we completely
change our line of thought and
action.
AS far as the cash is con-
cerned. we are not giving IT,.
We are investing il at the fat
test rate of interest in our
history.
But. il We don't invest il. it's
a cinch we'll never get anything
back, including our pants.
Have 10 Hustle
This war is no longer a squab-
Bile in our neighbours back yard.
II is mauling at our own door
stills.
1t is ready TO tear out our
own hearts and wreck every
thing we have considered decent
and desirable. And we'll have
TO hustle like the devil-and l
mean like the devil-to save our
selves. For, believe il or not,
the devil is an extremely COM
petent hustler.
II comforts us. OF course, TO
say that our enemies are stupid.
brutal fanatical. diseased with
success, but il won't buy US any
thing.
However we may deSpiSe
them, the record proves that
said enemies are probably the
most efficient, intelligent and
well trained crew OF cut-throats
that have ever set out to 60
places-and have gotten TO most
of them- prontn----------------

because God is backing our prin-
ciples. We are honestly amazed
because Hitler and Hirohito do
not agree with this pleasant,
wishful thinking. But IL just
happens that Hitler and Hirohito
are quite as sincere in their
ideas as we are in ours.
They can even present some
disconcerting argume I s TO
prove that democracy hasn't
been the 100 per cent blessing
which we claim.
And they are as deeply con-
WINGED that God is behind their
bloodstained lash as we are in
claiming that He is on the side
of the Star-Spangled Banner.
Start Givine-Now!
These are harsh facts. but n
you want to save your hide and
your country. you'd better be-
lieve them-and quick. Cut out
the heroics!
Stop thinking that you're
doing Uncle Sam big favor by
loaning a portion Of your wad.
This is no time to criticize and
whimper and haggle-or just
give what you can afford"
There's sword at your
throat! Your life is literally at
stake. We must face the grim
truth that unless we go all out,
well be all in. Start giving
now!
