Hitler and Hiroho haven't qvi YET not by long
shot. Why should they?
They know that few battles lost :. a half dozen
retreats don't mean defeat! They have no more
conceded this war than conceded it after Pearl
Harbor or Bataan or Corregidor!
That's why this is no time for us to sit back and
take it easy Just because to be winning, no
reason for you to say: "The wars nearly overland,
anyway, can't afford to buy an extra War Bond"
This war Is long way from over.
And can you really mean you cant afford" to buy
an extra War Bond2 You ate last night, didn't you2

whole legs to take you to your job and two strong
arms swinging at your sides!
Are you sure you're investing all you in Bonds?
Chances are you're making money today than
you ever did. What's more goods are scarcer harder
to buy.
So, sit down now and figure out. Check the things
you and your family must have. Necessities! Sub
tract that sum from your earnings and you'll find
that you can afford an extra $500 War Bond this
month. Maybe you can even boost it to extra
5000 or $500 over your regular payroll buying.
So gel busy and buy that ex.ro War Bond! The only
thing you "cant afford" to do is to quit now

IF HE loves labor as much as he
L processes, he was derelict in his
plain duty when he failed to warn
his listeners that they were not only
breaking their pledged word but
were breaking faith with the Ameri-
can people and the American fight
ing forces by striking in war plants
at this critical juncture.
Such warning would have been
an expression of real friendship for
labor and, coming from him, might
have carried weight.
DY IRONIC coincidence, on the
ID same day of Mr.. Wallace's talk,
another outstanding American spoke
publicly in Detroit
He is Vice Adm. Randall Jacobs,
chief of personnel of the U. S. Navy,
here as guest of honor at the Navy
Day ceremonies.
Adm. Jacobs also praised the
contribution of the big majority of
decent Detroit war plant workers.
But, to the recalcitrant minority,
the winners, the trouble makers, the
fomenters of strikes he uttered this
solemn reminder:
"The collapse OF Germany UiH
give no reason Dhafeper to think
that We can, somehow, coast to
uictory oUer Japan. The laps want
to make this fight that UiH go on
for 20 or 30 years. Noto is the test of
our staying poUer.l
There must be no more gold
bricking on the home front. Those
are our men out in the Pacific. We
must see them through" =
Too bad Mr.. Wallace didn't Dor
row those blunt words from Adm.
Jacobs and use them at Olympia.
