Their "Quota" may be DEATH
Your Quota is Bigger Bonds

As THE tempo of the war in.
IA creases as the lines of COM
munication grow longer -. as the
need for new guns, new tanks, new
planes grows more urgent -. the
cost of the war is at an all-time high.
That is reason Number l why
every true American must back this
MIGHTY 9TH War Loan Drive be-
yond all limits of what he thinks he
can afford.
Reason Number 2 is that this
drive is really too drives in one. By
this time last year, you had SUBJ
scribed to two War Loans.
Yes, the need is greater than ever
before. And YOU everybody
-. must invest a greater portion
of your income 80. of your cash
eserves in War Bonds Nop!
Study the chart on this page. Fig
r out your personal quota-and
make it!
BUY MORE and BIGGER BONDS
You already know that War Bonds
are the best and safest investment
in the world that you get back
at maturity 81 for every So you
invest . that they safeguard =
your future security 80. and
that you can cash them in on
a moments notice in case of
emergency. So let's 60, Amer
leans! Let's back those gallant
boys who are fighting and dying
for us on far-fung battlefields

bigger bonds and more of them, y

financing program should be vol
untary and that persons wishing
to buy war bonds should be able to
buy them conveniently. Hence war
bonds may be purchased at banks,
post offices, theaters, retail stores,
and at scores of other places.
Then, the treasury reasoned, 1t
should be equally convenient to re-
deem war bonds for emergency pur-
poses, so all banks who desired,
were authorized to redeem the
bonds over the counter, instead OF
the former longer, more complicat-
ed method of sending the bond to
the nearest Federal Reserve bank.
Who are the war bond redeemers
the men and women who cash
in these IL cents out of the dollar?
Almost invariably they are families
whose only saving has been the war
bonds they bought, and, thus, when
an emergency arose their war bonds
were their only recourse. The war
bond redeemer is in the low income
bracket, has an income probably less
than $4,000 per year, and larger
than average family. The chances
are he buys his war bonds through a

81 billion dollars, from GO million
persons were obtained in the sixth
war loan drive alonel
People Pay go Per Cent Of War Cost.
+ How has this voluntary program
Of war financing been used toward
paying the cost Of the war? Here
are few figures.
From May l, 1941, the start Of
the war finance program, through
December 81, 1914, the government
spent 261 billion dollars. OF this
amount 81 billions was used for nom
war expenditures, including the in
terest on the public debt, leaving
240 Billion spent on the cost Of the
war.
Out of this 261 billions, 101 billions,
or 1877 per cent Of the total, has been
raised through net receipts Of taxes,
so the excess OF spending over tax
receipts from May l, 1871, to Janu-
airy l, 1945, has been 100 billions of
dollars.
During this same period the gov
eminent has borrowed 178 billions
of dollars through sale of govern
mental securities. This equals the
Al billion sold in war bonds and the
1877 billion in other securities. Of
this 178 billion, rs billions have been
borrowed directly or indirectly from
banks. The rest, 1903 billions, or $40
per cent, has come from non-bank-
ing sources, AZ billions of it from
individual citizens.
The net of all this is that the Amer
lean people are buying war bonds
and that almost 60 per cent of the
amount borrowed for the war cost
has been paid by individuals and
non-bankingg sources they are
buying bonds and holding $88 out of
every $100 they buy, and the record
indicates that they will keep on buy
ing them SO long as they are offered
for sale, or so long as the nation
needs their money to help finance
this war.
It is a pretty safe bet that the
treasury department, as result Of
its experience with baby bonds be-
fore the war, and with war bonds
since May l, 1941, win continue in
the bond business after the war is
over. People have the habit Of buy
ing government bonds and there is
no indication now that there will be
any concerted rush to the banks to
cash in these bonds when the war
is over.
The very great majority Of them
will be held to maturity. And today
bond buying is on a 24-hour basis,
not only on the home front, but on
every battle front where Ameri-
cans are fighting to maintain the
freedom and integrity of a govern
ment and a way of life of which
these bonds are a symbol.

payroll savings plan at his place Of
employment. Chances are, too, that
he over-bought according to his in
come, since being patriotic, he want
ed to do just as much as his fellows.
Investigation shows that many
men and women in these families
forced to redeem their war bonds
were, ten years ago, ON WPA or the
recipient Of some community well
fare program. They were mot on
that program willingly, and neither
are they at the bank window cash
ing in their bonds willingly today.
These bonds are their only liquid
asset when an emergency comes i.
death, child birth, disqualification,
and temporary unemployment.
The treasury also has learned that
the redeemer of war bonds does not
necessarily cash in all his bonds, nor
does he close out his payroll saw
ings account he keeps on buying.
And this is proved conclusively by
the fact that war bonds purchased
through payroll savings since the
first war loan in 1912 have steadily
increased each month from 307 mil
lion dollars in December, 1912, to
more than $500, OOO, 900 per month to-
day. Every war loan has been
marked by a rise in the regular
allotment of workers for war bonds,
as well as a steadily increasing rise
in the national level Of payroll saw
ings as against total payroll.
Savings Up $500 in Year.
During 1914 the Withdrawals Of de-
posts in savings accounts in the
banks of the nation by individuals
amounted to approximately 20 per
cent and at the same time these saw
ings accounts showed net gain Of
approximately Sc per cent. War
bonds, although showing an per
cent gain in redemptions over 1913,
at the same time show an IS per
cent increase in sales. While the
cumulative rate of redemption to the
amount of bonds outstanding is 1904

airy 8, President Roosevelt stated
that further increase in the debt
limit would be necessary before
the end Of the next fiscal year,
which would be on June 30, 1916.
Financial commentators expect that
two boosts will be required before
that date, since the President esti-
mated that the public debt would
stand at 292 billion dollars by the
middle fof 1916, At maturity valu-
oation, this would mean considerably
more than 800 billion dollars.

per cent, the average redemption
rate over the four-year period, 1914
through 1914, amounts to slightly
less than 10 per cent per year.
Let's take one year of war bond
redemptions and compare them to
insurance policy lapses. In 1913, for
instance, total redemptions Of war
bonds to amount of bonds outstand-
ing at the end Of the year was 6.3
per cent. In 1910 for all legal re-
serve life insurance companies the
dollar amount of policy surrenders
and lapses was 6 per cent Of the In
surance in force at the end OF the
year. In 1912 the ratio was 4 per
cent.

gram Of war financing, SO vast In
its ramifications, is not only the
