THIS Has frequently been called "America's best-run
war." And it is.
After a shaky start and die first few stunning setbacks, the
crescendo of production, the achievements of the military,
and the steely determination of the people have been pretty
close to miraculous.
In keeping with this "best-run" handling of all war prob
lems, a new idea has been born, the new National War Fund.
(This new idea brings unity to the inescapable giving of funds,
to the confusing multiplicity of necessary war agencies.
Vitli the world in flames and in tears, the demands on
generous American hearts have been infinite. When the fires
of London are so thick the fire hoses run dry . . . when a
Chinese mother has to watch her baby die for want of a
simple drug . . . when Greeks by the hundreds drop dead in
the street from starvation . . . when a home-town "war-
orpha-ned" kid hardly through playing with dolls starts play
ing vvitii fire , . . decent Americans cannot close their eyes or
lurn their backs.
These mass tragedies, these war-made horrors, stirred kind
people to action. Committees were formed to provide aid for
the suffering, and of course these committees needed money
to carry on their good and vita! work.
Now, iii order to eliminate confusion, seventeen of these
groups have been combined into the Natioiuil War Fund.
.You give to this one Fund and you have given to all these
seventeen agencies.
The National War Fund is officially endorsed by the
President. It has the backing of the Government as an im
provement over the old confuting way of raising money. It
permits you to budget your wartime giving more easily.
It makes sense.
This unified Fund does not intrude upon the autonomy
of any of these agencies. The USO, China Relief, British
War Relief and all the others will be left under their present
efficient and experienced direction. They will be freed from
the task of raising money, and have time to devote full time to
their good works ; and you will nol have to dig down so. p.fteri
that your pocket becomes frayed at the edges.
The money you give vii1 do good round the world. Jt will
also do good right in your own neighborhood for we have
combined the appeal of the National War Fund with that of
our local agencies. Part of your contribution will be used for
the families of men in the service, for the children of parents
in war work, for the social services needed to keep a com
munity at war healthy, safe and efficient.
Give, generously, today. Add up your total gifts . . . ihen
