1944 are of direct interest to Ore-
gon. First, is the statement that be-
cau.se of this ample supply the pre-
viously announced plans for five
new grain alcohol plants have been
deferred, thus putting a quietus to
Arlington’s hope that it would se
cure such a plant; and, second; the
prospect that distilleries will be per
mitted to resume for 60 days the
production of whiskey, the growing
scarcity of which brought about
rationing in Oregon and a threat
that the states old-age pension set
up would be disturbed. Revenue de
rived from the sale of alcoholic be
verage through state-owned stores
has been the principal source of
this fund and the demand upon It
was increased by action of the last
legislature in increasing monthly a-
llowanies for the oldster.
Ever slnve the grain alcohol pro
gram was initiated Arlington has
been an active candidate as a site
for one of these plants to handle
surplus wheat grown in the state
and for a time the prospect that it
would be selected was highly en
couraging.

D U R I N G the three weeks between April
12 and May 1, the American people tackled
the biggest job of financing in the history
of the world.
In these three weeks it wa9 proposed to
raise the sum of 13 billion dollars, or more
than half as much as was raised by fiv e
drives in the first world war.
It was obvious that the task was hopeless
unless the people of the nation were des
perately in earnest about the war. And it
was equally obvious that here was, so to
speak, a thermometer by which the fervor
o f the people could be measured with
reasonable accuracy.
This is why we believe you, as an A m er
ican citizen, can take pride in this report.
F or it was written solely by you, the people.
Tho result, in dollars
Our goal was 13 billion dollars. Actually,
the American people subscribed 18 billion,
500 million dollars.
This was 90% as much as was raised in
all five drives of the first world war com
bined.
It was, I think, as much a victory for
America and the free American democracy
as any military triumph.
Y ou will be interested in where this 18'/i
billion dollars came from — for every dol
lar invested in War Bonds is more than a
purchase; it is a demonstration of faith.
The chart below shows the portion of the
18Vx billion that came from commercial
banks. They were eager to buy more, but
were limited to set amounts:
Who gets the credit?
INSURANCE COMPANIES

The credit for the 2nd W ar Loan goes to
the people.

It goes to the children who put dimes and
quarters into war stamps. T o everyone who
bought a bond. T o thousands o f patriotic
hanking people. T o advertising people who
donated their creative talents. T o patriotic
merchants and companies who paid the
bill for war bond messages. T o radio sta
tions, newspapers, movies, outdoor adver
tising companies, and publications.

Naturally, it was your money that bough:
the bonds in the two groups above — for
you are the people who put your money in
banks and invest in insurance.
Hut how about what might be called your
“ personal” money.
That is a very important question, for it
is vital that Americans, as individuals, buy
War Bonds with all they can spare.
Our goal, here, was 2,/ i billion dollars.
