Fohey Urges Increased
Buying of War Bonds

Praise for the leadership of saw
ings institutions and commercial
banks in the sale of War savings
bonds was coupled today with an
appeal for far greater investment
in those bonds in the coming year,
in statement issued by John H.
Fahey, commissioner of the Federal
Home Loan Bank Administration.
The volume of War bond sales
to date is evidence of the efforts
that have been put forth by the
Nations financial institutions, said
Mr.. Fahey. But the fact remains
that recent reports show that only
one-third of the savings accumu-
lated in the third quarter of 1941
went into War bonds. as compared
with a proportion of 81 per cent
during the first three months of
the year.

Of the Victory tax and of the lowered

make many new millions tax con-

Sections of both liberal and con-

the way to make better citizens and

let everybody understand plainly
that taxes were a matter of his
pocketbook interest, not alone the
concern of the more fortunate.
Taxes in 1943 will be of the visible

will bite deeply enough to affect i'm
