By putting every dollar over
rock-bottom expenses into the
purchase of War Bonds, patriotic

to wartime inflation—thus putting
the lid on the cost of living and
maintaining intact the purchasing
power of the dollar. At the same
time too, he is insuring the coun- ,
try and himself against the catas
trophe of possible postwar defla
tion—with its depression, unem
ployment, misery and heartache.
