THE RED AND BLACK, FRIDAY, MAY 18, 1945.
They Speak for Their Men and America!
Straight Talk About The 7th War Loan
The Money Is Needed for War
The Hattie of Japan has just begun. It must
be backed up, paid for, fought for by u free
people, intent on sweeping the Pacific clear of
fascist hate—forever.
With the war in the West our first and major
concern, we have not yet been able to go all
out in the East. But neither has the Jap.
The war to crush Japan will be bigger, tough
er and longer than most Americans expect. The
Allied Military Command has estimated that
it will take years, not months.
The destruction of Japan’s armies has not
yet reaehed the aunual rate of normal replace
ments—between 200,000 and 250,000 men a
year. And the Jap, as our men in the Pacific
know, fights to the death
As far as Japan is concerned, the outer Em
pire—and the men who defend it—are expen
dables. The Jap will fight the Hattie of Japan
from inside the inner Empire, of which Iwo
•lima was an outpost. And lwo Jima, accord
ing to Admiral Nimitt, was a pattern of the
resistance our forces may expect to meet in
future offensives.
New Tasks, New Needs
The single greatest obstacle to onr crushing
of Japan is distance. While in the Battle of
Europe supply ships from our bases in England
hud only an overnight run to make, ships in
the Pacific have long-reach round trips taking
up to 5 months to make.
To crush Japan will take time, heroic and
back-breaking effort, overpowering equipment.
Millions of fighting men—freshly outfitted
and equipped—will have to be moved from
Europe halfway around the globe; and sup
plied day-in, day-out by hundreds of new ships
now building.
More of everything will be needed. More
B-29’8. More tanks, half-tracks, jeeps and
trucks. More rockets, mortars, airborne radar.
A whole new air force is in creation—*huge
new bombers dwarfing the Superfortress—fast
new jet-propelled eombat planes, the P-80 or
“Shooting Star,” coming off the lines by thou
sands.
These are just some of the 101 ways in which
your dollars are needed more than ever to bring
America’s might to its full strength—so that
we may crush our foe the faster, make an end
of killing, and bring our men back home.
And Lest We Forget
The sick, wounded and disabled will require
medical attention and care.
Many millions of dollars will be required for
mustering out pay and benefits voted by Con
gress to help our veterans get started again
in civilian life.
That’s the least we can do in return for what
they’ve done for us.
Winning the Peace
There are other weighty reasons for support
ing the 7th War Loan—reasons that take us
from the present to the future.
By investing in the 7th War Loan, the pa
triotic American is safeguarding his own fu
ture, his country’s future.
By putting every dollar over rock-bottom
expenses into the purchase of War Bonds, he is
delivering a body blow to wartime Inflation—
maintaining intact the purchasing power of the
dollar. At the same time, too, he is insuring
the country and himself against the catastrophe
of a possible postwar deflation—with its de
pression, unemployment, misery and heartache.
So save for your country—save for yourself.
In helping your country, you are also helping
yourself! Comes peace, we’ll all need money
for education, replacements, retirement, new
homes, a new start—and we’ll need a lot of it.
And there isn’t a better or safer highroad to
your goal than United States Saving Bonds.
