It is a picture of Pearl Harbor ten years ago. On December 7,1941, we were caught weak and unprepared in the Pacific, unable to defend our har bors, our ships and sailors, our airfields and airmen, our soldiers and marines. This must not happen again. And we cannot ask the men and women of our armed services to do the defense job alone. We must make defense our job, too. It is our job to build up and maintain America’s economic strength as it is theirs to take care of ber military power. Only our job is easier. For we can do it by buying U. S.’ Defense Bonds regularly. With bonds and other forms of saving we build up our own personal financial security. And it is the financial stability of every one of us that determines the strength of our economy. Remember that strength is doubly important now. Because today peace is for the strong.
