It just seems to grow on trees where anyone can get at it who has the energy to pick it. It is so easy to acquire in fact, that we find it doubly difficult to prevent it slipping through our fingers. Of course most of our earnings go toward actual living expenses: food, heat, clothing and the like; but at the present scale of earning there is usually some thing left over unless we are too exacting and extravagant about the necessities. i It is this “left over” which makes so much difference to us, to our country and to our future. Maybe it is only a small percent age of our earnings, but this small percentage—added to the sums loaned by the banks, cor porations, insurance companies and other institutions—make it possible for our Government to carry on the war without having to force the money froih us. There are already 50,000,000 Americans who own War Bonds. A fine record—but not good e- nough. There should be 130.000,- 0C0 owners of these bonds. When a baby is born it should be given a stamp or a bond—according to the financial means of the mother and father. Every child and every adult—in proportion to his or her means—should own part of his country; Every argument one can use carries the point: The abso lute necessity to win a war which after four long, awful years of bloodshed seems at last to be turning slowly our way; financial safety for the future through ownership of a security which will pay interest even if everything else “goes to pot”; a proper start in life for American children who have never really been taught to save for the hard times which al ways come sometime in almost everyone’s iife; money to tide over* the interim when our returning son may be looking for a job— money which will give him confi dence and which maybe will en able him to get the sort of job he wants—not just anything he can get. There are 100 other reasons for actually “sweating blood” to buy these bonds and not the least of these reasons is the psychology of “savings”—which can make a poor nation rich or a rich natio l richer; a poor man rich or a rich man richer. This psychology made John D. Rockefeller the richest man in the world. The stoiy goes that he used to save te i cents a week out of his tiny wage£- As his wages increased his savings did likewise until the “pot” reach ed proportions which enabled him to start in for himself in a small way. There has been so much natural wealth in our vast country that, as a nation and as individulas, we have never been forced to be thrifty. But there • are no more rich “frontiers” now. The popula tion is increasing rapidly and the natural resources are decreasing proportionately. The result is normal and has already occurred in most Isfnds: the wealth—which after all is nothing more than the possession and the handling cf material things—begins to shrinic and the populace begins to con serve and save rather than to squander. \ We today already feel the changes. To our children the/ will become increasingly — ar-l maybe painfully—apparent; and those who are taught from infan cy the necessity to “save” will bo those who can lead fear.” a “life without J.
