Show Over ihe Top by New Year's Is ihe JC Plea of Secretary Morgentliau r November 13, 1942 I I As of today twenty-one million American workers are investing eight per cent of their salary -every pay day -in United States War Saving Bonds. This is a very remarkable tribute to our armed forces who are fighting this war. But this job is only two-thirds accomplished. There -are nine million additional American workers who are not investing in War Bonds every pay day. This appeal is directed to two groups of Americans: First - the twenty-one million people who are i investing eight per cent of their wages. We ask them to increase their investment to ten per cent or more. Second - the other nine million whom we ask to join the Payroll Savings Plan and to invest ten j per cent or more of their earnings. It is our earnest hope here at the Treasury Department that by New Year's Day thirty million Americans will be investing ten per cent or more of their wages in War Bonds through the Payroll Savings Plan. - MCRETABV Of TMI TAEAUdY |
