above what can be bought this year
because of restrictions and ration
ing approxima 40 billions
of dollars which should go into Gov
eminent Bonds.
It should be the objective of every
American to invest these loose dol
lars, idle dollars, in Government Sc
curities, not only from a patriotic
standpoint, but from the standpoint
of their own financial security.
There is available during the Second
War Loan a type of Security to fit
every pocketbook.
Are Wild Dollars
Every dollar of these forty billions
of dollars available, which is not in
vested in Government securities
during this War Loan Drive is a
wild dollar which, together with
its mates, will tend to increase inha-
ton. Uncontrolled initiation might
raise the cost of living to a point
where the dollar is worthless. It
can happen. 1t happened IN Ger
many after the last war when the
price of a loaf Of bread cost more
than an annual wage.
Invested in Government securi-
ties, your dollar will work for you 1t
will hold down imitation because it is
harnessed in war work; it will help
buy food, transportation, munitions
for our boys on the front lines and
it will be earning interest that, to-
gether with your original loan, will
come back to you later to help you
buy the things you cannot buy today
to insure your peace of the
future.
Remember those boys out there
in Tunisia in the South
Pacific They give their lives
You lend your money.

High Government officials have
pointed out that the nation must not
fail in this duty to our men on the
battle fronts who are now carrying
the offensive to the enemy at every
stage. 1t is obvious to every thinking
man and woman that as the United
Nations take this offensive against
the dictators, the cost of war opera
tons increases in proportion.
The American people must no
longer think of war costs in terms of
equipping a soldier, building tank
or plane or a ship. We must now
think in terms of the cost of bat
ties, invasions and new offensives.
Attacking armies cost more money
than equipping that army and we
must meet that increased cost by
buying more War Bonds and Second
War Loan Securities.
They Give Their Lives.
It is not only necessary that the
American people left here at home
assume this additional participation
in the war effort-it is an honor to
do so for we here at home can
do no less than attempt to approach
the sacrifices of our brave men out
on the fighting fronts to whom the
last great measure of sacrifice is
but daily Offering They give their
lives +. we are asked only to
lend our money.
And that is the theme of the Sec
ond War Loan, '"They Give Their
Lives-You Lend Your Money"
Financial experts who know none
tary conditions in the nation point
out that at the present time there is
in liquid funds, cash and CONNER
cial bank deposits over and above
taxes and present investment in
Government Bonds, and over and

"Any American who wilfully
neglects to pay his taxes on

can in War Bonds is surely CIV

But from where I sit it's big
consolation now that PrOhibi-
ton is Oyer-tO see how mOder-
alton and tolerance have grown
up in it's place.
Nowadays, if a man enjoys a
friendly glass of beer or two
after a days work, he not only
can do it in clean, respectable
surroundings but he knows
that no bootlegger or gangster is
making a red cent on it.

While the war department term
