Is thero any question in the
minds of thinking men and v/onen
as to the intention of Adolph
Hitler to dominate the world? If
actual shooting war is not brought
to our shores, certainly an ec
onomic war must be considered if
Hitler should win in Europe.
One way to stop Hitler is to
Buy Defense Bonds and Stamps.
"You should buy these Bonds
and Stamps, not onco but regular
ly, to the limit of your ability
in order to be a good civilian
soldier, not in uniform, but do
ing your full duty behind the
lines.
“In purchasing Defense Sav
ings Bonds and Stamps in accord
ance with a well laid out plan
of your own and consistently car
ried through, you will accomplish
four worthy objectives:
“1. You will bo doing your
duty as a good American citizen..i
“2. You will be developing
a habit of thrift...
“3. You will be making your
contribution to The National cause
by saving,.. .'thus cooperating with
your Government and with business
to avoid inflation.
"4. You will be protecting
yourself and making a substantial
contribution toward solution of
the groat problems that wilt con
front us all in the post-war per
iod. ..
'■'These four worthy objectives
should actuate you to commence
at once'and continue the purchase
of U. 3. Defense Savings Bonds
and Stamps in accordance with a
definite plan and to the maximum
of your ability."

"Any systematic savings plan
is worthwhile at any time, but
during the existence cf a rational
emergency it becomes a necessity

of other greater sacrifices more
remote."
