The Individual's Opportunity
In the Mighty 7th War Loan the individual pur
chaser is to learn more fully than ever before his
or her responsibility in the war effort. The pow
ers that be have planned it that way and for a
good reason. Not enough people have been invest
ing sufficient funds in war bonds to safeguard
against inflation during the war and protect
against depression following the war.
To meet these conditions, the treasury depart
ment and others charged with the duty of financ
ing the war have placed a greater obligation on
the individual in the 7th war loan campaign to in
fluence more savings now when wages are high,
or briefly when money is plentiful, so that when
the transition era from war to peace comes there
will be less likelihood of a serious depression.
There is no doubt but that the people in the
investor class could and would take up the 7th
loan. That would mean more concentration of
wealth in the hands of the few a thing that
brings on depression, particularly if there is a gen
eral recession of industrial activity for any length
of time. Buying power rests in the hands of the
masses. People of means buy little more than they
need. They may indulge in luxuries as an outlet
for using surplus cash but usually do not buy
more of the necessities than are needed to pro
vide a comfortable living standard. In the present
crisis it is doubtful if the so-called wealthy class
is spending in proportion to the suddenly affluent
mass labor class and when the war is over the
wealthier people will be able to buy those things
they have denied themselves while the others will
either be unable to buy or find themselves over
burdened with a lot of wartime products which
are rather poor substitutes at the best for which
they paid a dear price and feel they cannot af
ford to set aside in favor of peacetime goods.
With these and other factors in mind, the war
finance authorities have from the beginning urg
ed the individual to buy war bonds and to make
it possible for every man, woman and child to
own one or several, the series E bond with a ma
turity value of $25 and a purchase value of $18.75
was set up. Purchases of series E bonds have been
good throughout, but it is felt that too many of
them have been taken up by the investor class and
not enough by the individuals. What is needed is
more individuals buying more E bonds.
Your opportunity to participate generously is
provided in the current campaign. Morrow coun
ty's total bond quota is $353,000. Of that amount
$248,000 is to be subscribed in E bonds. If you
have purchased one $100 bond heretofore, make
it two or three this time. You can't buy much of
anything that will be of real service to you until
after the war and this will be a good time to help
the boys over there slapping the Japs down and
at the same time tuck away a tidy sum to help
you over a doubtful period when that task is
completed.
Remember! The job will not be done until the
last Jap is conquered. The war is far from over.
Put your money to work where it will do the most
good. Buy more bonds to buy more bombs
