This record will have a practical value
for future drives. Bach committee in

access to the same record.
This will not only be a great conven
knee to each committee, but it would also
avoid doing an injustice to contributors who
have been over generous. Incidentally it
would exj)o.se the professional hyocrites,
each of whom pretends to hnve contributed
to other drives. The number of these hypo
elites is considerable.
Aside from the practical value there
would be secondarily a historical value of a
record of this kind. When our soldier bos
come home the record would tell the storv
to them as to who were their real friends and
who were simply noisv pretenders.
Such a record would be a Doomsday
