Campaign 10 Fight
Initiation by Bond
Sales Opens Today

A Nationwide drive against in
flation got under way in Washing
ton and throughout the United
States today-second anniversary OF
the D day landings in Francois
the United States Savings Bonds
Division of the Treasury launched
the first peacetime campaign for
stimulating sales of Savings Bonds
The drive, which will end July 4
is headed locally by Wilmer J.
Waller, who spanked War Bond
drives before hostilities ceased and
the Victory Loan campaign imne-
diately following the japanese sur
render.
No quotas have been set for the
drive and no organized solicitation
activities will mark the course of
the drive. The Nation will be
flooded, however, with appeals and
publicity designed to stimulate pur-
chase of Government securities to
combat the spread of imitation.
AS the campaign began, Treasury
Secretary Vinson urged wholesale
subscription to United Savings
Bonds to back your own future. =
He said:
THE best way for the average
American to fight imitation is to
invest regularly his surplus earn
ings in United States Savings Bonds
and hold them. The Savings
Bonds program helps to keep the
public debt in the hands of the
people; it enables millions to save
regularly and invest in safe and
profitable securities designed to fit
their needs.
Just as you backed the attack
against despotism by your purchases
OF War Savings Bonds, so you are
your own independence by
investing regularly in these same
bonds
Mrs. Harry S. Truman also issued
statement adjuring the women
OF America to make each PAYDAY
a step toward ownership of another
Savings Bond" Mrs. Truman said
The future well-being of most
American families rest largely on
the resoluteness of women in main
tanning the wartime habit of in
vesting every dollar above needed
living expenses in United States
Savings Bonds"
