There is no winter relief. . . no SS man standing outside the door say ing "Buy or else." Nothing is at stake but the future of the country. . . per haps of the World. What then is a stamp or bond but a vote of confidence in ourselves? In our capacity to drive on, to break all opposition and then to reconstruct upon a new and better design, a world that will be different. A world of surplus instead of one of scarcity. But a bond is more than this. It is an in vestment. It is something of a mir acle that freedom can be bought and that in addition it should pay a divi dend of almost 3 per cent. And this is not all. bonds stand between us and thfi sniral of inflation which could engulf us more easily than any ene my outside our gates. For the first time in many years, demand backed by money exceeds supply, which nor mally equals demand, and even stim ulates it by advertising and credit purchase plans. Are we to save money against the time when we may need it. or bid for the few consumer goods that are left against ourselves? There is one more reason for buying bonds. The President, who is also the commander in chief, has asked us to do so. Meanwhile. . . while we hesitate. . . while we complain of nominal hardship. . . men die. . . not only fighting men, but women and small children also. They die for a good cause. A L P.
