| cannot AFFORD to be niggardly with
any of our resources"
The President called the italian
armistice victory for both the
Allies and the italian people, re-
leased after years of war and suf-
fering and degradation.
The Mediterranean war is far
from finished. however, he declared
for I'VE must drive the Germans
| out OF Italy we must drive
them out of France and all other
captive countries, and we must
strike them on their own soil from
all directions"
Mr.. Roosevelt told his vast radio
audience it was up to them to prove
TO their fellow Americans on the
flghting fronts that they were con-
tributing more than their share to
the cause.
I'VE must put money into War
Bonds which we would not normally
save Mr.. Roosevelt asserted. "Onlv
then have we done everything that
good conscience demands"
The money Americans lend the
Government and pay in taxes, he
saio, buys that death-dealing, life
saving power we need for victory
The people, he said, know there can
never be amy economic justiflca-
tion for falling to save freedom"
From Mr.. Reilly and Robert v.
Fleming. president of Riggs Ma
tional Bank, came the statement
that this Is war of production, and
that total victory cannot be achieved
until War bond dollars are translat-
ed into war materials in overwhelm-
ing volume.
Pvt. Henry j. Jubinyille of Lowell
Mass. speaking this morning before
300 employees of the Civil Service
Commissions retirement division,
headed by Lewis H. Fisher, said the
home front would know what sacri-
flee really means If you saw torn
and bleeding men dying without a
whimper on foreign SOIL"
The Walter Reed Hospital patient,
who lost his right hand and re-
ceived $50 shrapnel wounds in the
African campaign, added, "Visit the
hospitals some day and realize what
war is.
Il hear people say buying War
bonds is q sacrifice. Probably not
one person here knows what sacri-
fee is. Every one here looks well
dressed and we'll fed. Do without
new clothes, movies and liquid re-
freshment and buy War bonds! The
KIDS saw in North Africa have sac
rificed more than all the money in
the world can buy. The feet of our
soldiers were bleeding when Rommel
chased us back go miles in the early
fighting They didn't whimper and
talk of sacrifices. Later they helped
drive Rommel's rats into the ocean.
Tells of Tears.
MANY of our boys will not come
back unless the home front does it's
part. With tears in their eyes-you
wouldn't dare go near them--I have
seen those kids go off alone, pull out
wallet and look at the picture of
their child they have never seen
their child back home-the home
they want to return to. Do without
a meal occasionally, put that money
in bonds.
Representative of local Italian
societies bought several thousand
dollars worth of War bonds today,
Ralph Cipriano, president of the
Italian American Victory Council,
announced today. He explained that
individual club chairmen act as
heads of the bond-selling organiza-

units of 10 men each. Each man is
expected to sell 10 bonds during the
course of the drive

Statewide radio network tonight

o'clock tonight. forming at King

The surrender of the Italian
armies is, of course, great news" :"
MIR. Reilly said. However, it must
be remembered that the roads to
Berlin and Toxic still lie ahead. To
travel these roads our fighting men
will need all the tools and equip
ment of war we are able to provide.
These will be long, hard roads
roads which will demand the full
and undivided support of the Amer
lean people"
Mr. Fleming, former president of
the American Bankers Association,
warned against overoptimism in ad-
dressing the District Committees
Speakers Bureau at the United
States Chamber of Commerce. He
stressed that the spiral of imitation
best can be controlled by siphoning
idle dollars into Third War Loan
bonds
Results Due Tomorrow.
Chairman Reilly said the first re-
ports of the District drive would not
be available until tomorrow, because
