We don’t have to line up
our reasons for buying
bonds, but being Ameri

the urge to do our bit. al
though our primary reason
is patriotic.
Although we are reject

we can still serve until the
war is won, in war effort
at home
We can buy bonds to fur

"When we buy bonds, we

doing us a favor every time
we invest in another bond.
Buy War Bonds! Stay

THE GREAT STORY
After World War I. one
of the greatest stumbling
blocks to mutual goodwill
and understanding between j
the Allies was the loose
“we won the war” talk. It;
was not confined to Ameri
ca by any manner ofj
means. In fact some of the
worst of it came from our|
erstwhile friends of Great
Britain who pooh-poohed,
our war efforts and called

us Uncle Shy lock when we
made bold to ask for the re
turn of a small portion of
the money we had advanc
ed. We, on the other hand,
I were blatant in our boast
i fulness about our part in
! winning the war and saving
our British cousins from the
| desperate spot in which
they had been placed.
A repetition of such fool
; ishness should be avoided
i at the close of this war if
we are to cement the ties of
blood and wealth to which
each of the Allies has so
generously contributed to
the full limit of respective
capacity.
It is quite obviously nat
ural that the news accounts
of the war should be color
ed by the national pride of
each of the participants.
American newspapers are
not likely to give as much
space to the exploits of the
British as they are to those
of the Yanks and vice ver
sa, but it is well for the
thoughtful American and
Britisher to bear in mind
that the war is being won
bv team work.
•j j
We have seen no general
mention of the fact, but
have been reliably inform
ed that more than half the
forces in Normandy are
British and that three
fourths of the warships sup
porting the troops with
gunfire from the sea are of
the British Navy On the
other hand, it is our troops
and our Navy which are
taking the brunt of the;
Pacific war.
Neither now nor in the
trying days of world recon
struction to come is there
any room for the sour
notes of the narrow mind
ed flag waver. That we will
expect our statesmen to
protect American interests
goes without saying, but
that we shall also expect
them to acknowledge our
world responsibility is
equally obvious.
On the eve of the inva
sion of the Normany
beaches, General Eisen
hower voiced the creed
we should like to see car
ried over to peace times
when, he said:
“The greatest story that
will come out of the opera
! tions ahead of us, will be
something like this^ It will
be say, the story of a U. S.
escort plane flying protec
tion to a British warship
which is giving support to
Canadian soldiers- And if
every man in a particular
action has forgotten that
he is American, or British,

they are all brothers, as

the great story.”—(Alas
