'Tin afraid that's all I can spare"
You're a regular, red-blooded, true-blue Ameri
can. You love your country. You love that flapping,
snapping old flag. Your heart thumps hard when
the troops tramp by. You're loyal? 100%!
Yqu intend to ? you want to ? help win the war
in a hurry.
"Sacrifice? Sure," you've been thinking. "Just
you wait till they really need it." And you've hon
estly thought you meant that too.
But? look yourself in the eye, now, and search up and down in- -
tide of your heart ? did you mean it? Did you really mean "sacrifice" ?
Listen : You feel poor. This third Liberty Loan, the high prices,
the Income Fax? you've done your bit. You feel that you've given
all you can spare.
What ? Then what did you mean? What's that you said about
loving your country? What did you think the word "sacrifice" means?
Surely you didn't mean, did you, to give only what you can spare ?
What about our boys who are giving their lives in the trenches?
Are they giving only what they can "ipai e" ? ?
How about those mothers and little "kiddies" in the shell-wrecked
towns of that war-swept hell: ? hungry ? ragged ? sobbing ? alone?
Giving up their homes, their husbands, their fathers.
While we ? over here with .our fun and our comforts ? we hold up
our heads and feel patriotic because we have given? what ? Some
loose bills off the top of our roll. "We've given all we can spare! "
Come, come ! Let's quit fooling ourselves. Let
us learn what "sacrifice" means. Let us give more
than we can spare ? let us "give till the heart says
stop."
