NEED FOR WAR FUND INCREASES
Increased need, rather than diminished de
mands for money contributed to the national
war fund agencies will be faced by American
people after culmination of hostilities in Eur
ope, probably late this fall or early winter.
This information has been issued with ann
ouncement that the national war fund drive
will be conducted throughout the United St
ates from October 9 to November 8.
The end of the war and development of an
arrty of occupation will throw greater burdens
upon the U.S.O. clubs for entertainment of ser
vicemen. These clubs are maintained entirely
through the use of funds contributed to the
national war fund. It is a service that is not and
cannot satisfactorily be conducted by the gover
nment.
Following this country’s traditional policy of
assisting the unfortunate around the world,
Americans will find millions of persons in the
occupied countries who need assistance, some
of which will be given through the national war
fund. European countries have been bereft of
everything usable by the German invaders and
are in critical condition. Relief for the situation
can come only through the allies.
Relief of the Philippines and China from the
Japanese yoke will also throw additional relief
burdens on the allies. Officials of war fund
agencies reveal that war prisoners aid will have
to he carried on at the present scale for 12 mon
ths and that a diminishing, but increasingly
important service will be required throughout
most of the second year, so that no one should
feel that the time for contributions is about ov
er.
While the world is specializing in death and
destruction, we, as individuals, have an opport
unity through national war fund of contribut
ing money for lives.
