STRAIGHT TALK
ABOUT THE 7 WAR loan

Europe halfway around the globe and supplied
day-in, day-out by hundreds of new ships now
building.
More Of everything will be needed. More
B-29s. More tanks, half-tracks, jeeps, and
trucks. More rockets, mortars, airborne radar.
Awhole new air force is in creation-hug new
bombers dwarfng the Superfortress-fa new
jet-propelled combat planes, the P-80 or Shoot
ing STAR" coming off the lines by thousands.
These are just some Of the 101 ways in which
your dollars arc needed more than ever to bring
Americas might to its full strength-so that
we may crush our foe the faster, make an end
of killing, and bring our men back home

This year there will be only t,yo War Loan
Drives, not three. But in those two drives the
Government will have to raise almost a. much
money from individuals as in the three drives
last year. That means bigger extra bonds in the
18th. Because only by buying more can we make
2 take the place OF 8.
The 26 million Americans who buy bonds on
payroll savings are already off to flying startl
These patriotic men and women began their
buying in April. And they will keep on buying
extra bonds through May and June
It's now up to the rest Of us. It's our turn to
swing in line. TO raise the vast sum needed,
every American will have to dig deeper into
current income-dig deeper into cash reserves
Only by buying bigger extra bonds can we stretch
2 into 8!
Let all Americans do their part--for their
own sake, for their country's.
If you have an income whether from work,
land, or capital-you have quota in the 18th War
Loan. Find out what that quota is and makeit!

Nazis have been ordered to knock
out the teeth Of rumor-mongers.

THE 7th WAR LOAN ,.,,

May IA. Americans, as individuals, are taking on
their biggest quota to date-7 billion dollars,
A billions in E Bonds alone
You may be wondering, 'Why this biggest
Of all individual quotas now? Haven't we al
ready reached the peak?"
A fair question-requiring straight answer.
The Money Is Needed for War
The Battle of Japan has just begun. II must
be backed up, paid for, fought for by free
people, intent on sweeping the Pacific clear of
fascist hate-forever
With the war in the West our first and major
concern, we have not yet been able to go all
out in the East. But neither has the Jap.
The war to crush Japan will be bigger, tougher,
and longer than most Americans expect. The
Allied Military Command has estimated that
it will take years, not months.
The destruction of Japan's armies has not
yet reached the annual rate of normal replace
ments-between 100000 and 100000 men a
year. And the Jap, as our men in the Pacific
know, fights to the death.
AS far as Japan is concerned, the outer Empire
and the men who defend it--are expendables
The Jap will fight the Battle of Japan from
inside the inner Empire, Of which Two Jima was
an outpost. And Two Jima, according to Admiral
Nimtz, was a pattern Of TIE resistance our
forces may expect to meet in future offcnsiyas
