Birthday Party For
Bobby Faulkner
The Fourth War Loan drive for
$14,000,000,000 is in full swing and
our government is asking us in
dividuals to lend $5,500,000,000 of
it. There are, four good reason,,
why we should do so. • ’
First: The war is probably en
tering a new' phase for us—a
phase in which we may have to
suffer heavier losses in men than
we have known since our Civil
war. Every dollar which we lend
may save time and life; for any
shortage of material, or any delay
in supplying it, means a propor
tionately greater loss in the ranks
of our fighting men. AND OUR
MONEY PAYS FOR THE MA
TERIEL AND FOR ITS DELIV
ERY TO THE FIGHTING
FRONTS.
Second: Every dollar which we
invest in war bonds helps stem
the advance of an enemy as
treacherous and destructive al
most as Hitler and his Nazis—
and that “enemy is Inflation. For
if real runaway inflation ever
gets in full swing in this country
we will become useless to our al
lies and the result will be disas
ter.
Third: When the war is over
there will be 10,000,000 men and
women to be mustered out of the
forces. And there will be others
who can no longer hold their jobs
in war factories because these
factories must close or must con
vert to peacetime pursuits. The
families of our fighting men owe
it to them to have a bank ac
count or government bonds, or
some other resources to help
these returning sons while they
are looking around for jobs. It
may be that jobs will be plentiful
—no one knows—but it may be
that some of these men will have
to wait for a long time before
obtaining employment. Remem
ber the millions of unemployed
in the 1930s? That can Lapp''!
again; and it is unfair to i our
selves and to nur children not !">
oc i ied t ,eet sucl a situ
ation. The factory workers .
have a “backlog” also, to tide
them over this possible interim
of unemployment. They imni
have it!
Fourth: We Americans are
spendthrifts. That was all righ’: ^
while there were frontiers still t e
exploit. But there are no mere
frontiers in our country, and »
must learn to do as other peop >
have learned to do who ha"e
had the same situation to face 1 i
times past: We must learn th 5
meaning of thrift, and we mur.;
acquire the habit of saving. W e
can’t “go West, young man” an r
more—because the West which %
ttorace Greeley meant is no mor~.
Sa When we buy a bond we t~ >
are fighting beside our brave scl-
diers—for their lives; to savi
their and our country from d -
struction through inflation; t>
help them and ourselves over tin
postwar uncertainties; t and t >
start their and our children on
the road to security through th>
saving ha,bit. %
United States government
bonds are the finest security i i
the entire world today — Mr.
Goebbels’ propaganda to the con
trary notwithstanding. If the
government needs your farm or
your factory in order to pay it;
debts—it can take them; bui
only wild runaway inflation—
such as they had in Germany—
can destroy the value of govern
ment bonds—and nothing else will
have very much value if we ev r
“spend” ourselves into that con
dition.
