Bonds can play in the Nationwide
fight against imitation was stressed
today. as the first peacetime cam

Headed locally by Wilmer J..

day landing in France-will con-
tinue until July 4.
Frank Trip, chairman of the
Allied Newspaper Council, called on
all citizens to protect their future
by buying Savings Bonds.
Mr.. Trip said: "One often hears
that company issuing securities
seeks public buyers in order that its
stockholders may be diversified. Our
Government now says that OF United
States Savings Bonds-the peace
time successor to War Bonds.
ut gives an excellent reason, far
out and beyond the incentive to
thrift, the element of safety or even
the suppression of imitation. It
hopes to pay a big portion of its
interest on the public debt back to
the people. More to the people and
less to the financiers. Because, in
the hands of the people this interest
will buy goods, which in turn makes
jobs, expands prosperity with which
to pay the public debt-your debt
and mine"
The bond selling campaign will
not be by organized solicitation, and
no quotas have been set, according
to Mr. Waller. During the drive,
the press, radio and other media
of publicity will flood the country
with appeals to stop imitation by
buying Savings Bonds.

Ford Motor Co., also issued state

and hold them, are not only backing
their own future, they are investing
