killed or injured in a rear end col

war conditions it tins nation is to play its lull part in the contliet. The problem
before us not primarily a financial problem, but rather a problem of increased
production of war essentials ami the. saving of the materials and the labor neces
sary for the support and equipment-of our army anil navy. Thoughtless expendi
ture of money for non-essentials usesU .Jlie labor of men, the products of the
farm, mines and factories and Overburdens transport'itiou, till of which must be
used to the utmost and at their best fur war purposes.
"The great results which we seek can be obtained by the participation of every
member of the nation, young and old, iua national concerted thrift movement.
Therefore, it is urgent that our people" everywhere, pledge themselves, as suggested
by the secretary of the treasury, to the practice of thrift, to serve the government
to their utmost in increasing the production in all fields necessary to the winning
of the war, to conserve food and fuel and useful materials of every kind, to devote
their labor only to the most necessary' tasks and to buy only those things which
are csential to individual health and efficiency, and that the people, as evidence of
their loyalty, invest all that they can save in Liberty Jkmds and War Savings
Stamps. So many of the securities issued by the Treasury Department are with
in the reach of everyone that the door of opportunity in this matter is wide open to
all of us. To practice thrift, in peace times is a virtue and brings great benefit to
the individual at till times. With the desperate need of the civilized world today
for materials and labor with which to end the war, the practice of individual thrift
is a patriotic duty and a necessity.
"I apoeal to all who now own cither Liberty Bonds or War Savings Stamps
to continue to practice economy and thrift, and appeal to all who do not own gov
ernment securities to do likewise and purchase them to the extent of their means.
The man who Inn s government securities transfers tho : purchasing power of his
money to the United States government, until after this war, and to that same de
gree does not buy in competition with the government.
"I earnestly appeal to every man, woman and child to pledge themselves on
or before the 2Sth of June to save constantly and to buy as regularly as possible
the securities of the government. The 28th of June ends this special period of en
listment in the great volunteer army of production and saving here at home. May
there bo none unenlisted on that day. "
