ANS VpStAS GApEA AS WAVtl Wtl VpJSCbANC of thirteen billion dollars to be raised through sale ofs Government securities.
 A substantial part of this huge financing, the most Stupendous ever undertaken by any government in the worlds history, must be loaned by people in ordinary walks of life.
 High government otflcialS have pointed out that the nation must not fail in this duty to our men on the battle frcnts who are now carry. ing the offensive to the enemy at every stage. It Is obvious to every thinking man and woman that as the United Nations take this offen- Sive against the dictatorS, the cost of war operations increases in pro- portion.
 The American people must no longer think of war costs in terms of equlpping Q soldier, building c tank or plane or a ship. We must now think in terms of the cost of battles, invasion and new offenSiveS, Attacking armies cost more money than eQulpplng that army and VIC 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 50 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 6 but a 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, "T'hey Give Their LiveS--You Lent Your Money" Financial experts who know monetary conditions in the nation point out that at the present time there Is in liquid funds, cash and commercial bank deposits over and above taxes and present investment in Government Bonds, and over and above what can Dc bought this year because of restrictions and ra~ tioning approximately % billions Of dollars which should 60 into Government Bonds,
 It should be the objective of every American to tnvest these loose dollars, idle dollars, in Gov ernment securities, not only from Q patriotic standpoint, but from the standpoint of their own financial security. There Is available during the Second War Loan a type of SC. curity to 1t every pocketball. 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 . wild" dollar which, together with its mates, will tend to increase iYl- fiation. Uncontrolled imitation might raise the cost of living to . point where the dollar is worthless. It can happen. It happened in Ger many after the last war when the price of Q loaf of bread cost more than an annual wage.
 Invested in Government securi. ties, your dollar will work for you. It will hold down imitation because 1t Is harnessed in war work; 1t will hedp buy food, transportation, munitions for our boys on the front lines and 1t 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 to. day 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.
