TREASURY DEPARTMENT

March 31, 1945
To Nome Nugget:
The 7th War Loan Drive begins
May 14 and ends June 30. $7,000,
000,000 of the total of $14,000,000,
000 quota is to be raised from in
dividuals, $2,000,000,000 more
than in the 6th Drive. It will be
the toughest selling job newspa
pers have faced. Advertising that
is published in May and June will
be credited to us. The advance
Payroll Savings Drive will begin
April 9 and the regular interim
newspaper copy has been pre
pared with the payroll savings
pitch.
The Retail Section of the War
Finance Division has been revital
ized and will be helpful. This co
operation was missing in the 6th
Drive. The promotion they plan
should help us switch a lot of lo
cal merchandise copy to War
Bond copy during May and June.
To make the grade we must do
this. Newspaper War Bond ad
vertising from May 1941 through
December 1944 amounted to over
$88,000,000. This is a splendid rec
ord, but we can’t let it sag.
We must not relax our efforts.
Even with Germany out, we still
have a nasty enemy in Japan. We
must maintain our gait to the fin
ish. We can use the paper to no
better purpose. It’s tough but so
was Iwo Jima.
Sincerely,
Frank E. Tripp, Chairman,
Allied Newspaper Council

G. I.’s Wait In Line
For Medal—
Or Shower
By HERBERT M. RALBY, CBM
(A Coast Guard Correspondent)
ABOARD A COAST GUARD
MANNED TROOP TRANSPORT
SOMEWHERE IN THE PACIFIC.
(Delayed)—With more than a
couple of thousand soldier passen
gers aboard this vessel on their
way to advanced bases in the Pa
cific war zone, there are always
long lines of soldiers, sailors, and
marines waiting to enter the mess
hall, the barber shop, or troop
compartments. But the G.I. has
learned to accept his fate cheer
fully.
The other afternoon one soldier
approached another standing far
back in one of the lines and in
quired:
“Does this line go to the mess
hall or the shower room?”
“Don’t know,” was the indiffer
ent reply. ‘It doesn’t make any
difference to me. I can use either
one of them.’

’ Study Proposals
To San Francisco
Conference
SAN FRANCISCO, April 23—
•
United States would retain con
trol of strategic Pacific bases af
ter the war under a compromise
1
trusteeship plan is reported after
a study for presentation to the
I
United Nations conference. This
subject with a proposal for “com
munity of Pacific” patterned after
the Pan American Union shared
pre-conference interest with the
troublesome Polish question cur
rently in Washington, as Wednes
day and the opening of the 56
nation conference drew near. Sen
ator Vandenberg predicted it will
succeed in its job of establishing
world organization and peace.
Both United' States delegates,
Vandenberg reported, are in line
and are on the job representing
United States on the conference
commission which will write the
regulations for the World Security
Council.
This commission will handle the
delicate problem of voting pro
cedure within the inner circle of
the peace keeping organization.
Advocates say the international
trusteeship compromise as worked
out in Washington is intended to
satisfy the military demands for
Pacific island bases and at the
same time provide a plan to work
out as well as benefit Russia, Bri
tain or any other nation with mil
itary base requirements.
The idea is to have two kinds
of trusteeships in the areas. One
type would be subject to investi
gation and report by trustee com
mittees in the proposed world or
ganization territories. Other ter
ritories probably would be called
security areas and would be as
signed exclusively to trustee
power.
