Wars End Puts
New Duties On
War Fund

'Now that the war is over,
what need Is there for the Ma
tional War FUND.-"
That's logical question among
those not informed as to the
the many detailed activities OF
the NWF, and one which can be
answered.
First, the NWF Is the one or
ganization which represents the
Is national agencies serving "our
own and our allies" who have been
helping us achieve victory. 1t is
a simplified and unified way of
raising funds to carry on the work
OF these organizations. You give
once, and only once for all.
The work of these agencies,
tied up with the military effort,
can not suddenly stop any more
than we can suddenly withdraw
all our military might from Oc-
cupied territories. They each
have obligations caused by the
war, which must be carried for
ward If minimum OF suffering
exists throughout the world.
For instance, many must have
entertainment at foreign military
bases. Military men will be there
for months, with nothing to do
"but keep order and mark time.
Agencies serving them must have
more support, for their work will
be even greater. There'll be more
time for such activity as the
USO.
Thousands OF men must con-
tinue to man the ships which car
ry men and material back and
fourth across the oceans in the
interest of returning peace. Such
agencies as the United Seamen's
service will have an even greater
job to do within the next few
months.
Then, there will be hundreds
OF thousands OF brave young men
who are just beginning to flight
their way back" in the hundreds
of hospitals at home and abroad.
They need morale-building help
at this time, and will continue to
need 1t until they are returned,
we'll to civilian life.
The fight against famine and
general distress In countries of
our allies, who fought for victory
with US and who bore the brunt
Of obstruction caused by the war,
will be greater than ever within
the next several months. We
must give more to help them re-
turn to peacetirne pursuits.
The gift you make the NWF
will help them, as the various
reliefs will stay on the Job in
the readjustment period.
Then, too, there are the local
misunderstanding and charity
groups. Their work will be great
err, the needs more demanding with
the return of peace. They have
q big Job to perform in keeping
our country q free, strong ma
ton.
That. briefly. will give you an
idea OF why the National War
Fund can not cease operation with
the cease firing" order. 1t will
also give you an idea OF why
you should give, and give gen.
erously, to this final campaign.
