WASHINGTON, Jan. It. — Secre
tary McAdoo has issued the following
! statement:
War savings is an epoch in our na
tional life. Every man, woman and
child can now join the growing army
that provided the sinews of war, for
war-savings stamps make it possible
for every loyal citizen to do his part,
no matter how small that part may
be.
The American people have accepted
tin challenge of autocracy and have
resolved to make the world safe for
freedom and democracy. The days of
autocracy arc numbered, and our men,
our industries, and our money are
marching forward with irresistible
force to accomplish that purpose.
Let us remember that dollars buy
the finished article that is the product
of American labor and American ma
terials and that American labor and
materials are today essential for the
making o'’ sup| lies of all kinds fo»
our Asnv and Xnv\, and that ever>
dol'.ir diverted from purchases of
article in t needed t'or our health and
efficiency helps the Government to
th;it extent to procure things that are
essential to win this war.
The war savings campaign marks
the beginning of a new and l hope
permanent evolution of American life.
Self-sacrifice and self-denial have al
ways made real men, and real men
are basis of strong nations.
Those of us who help to lay the
foundation stone of thrift will he the
builders of a structure that will sur
vive through all time, and will be
* odering a se»vice of the utmost im
portance to our flag and country.
This war cannot be financed unless
the American people immediately stop
waste, practice self denial, economize
in every possible direction, and lend
the money they save thereby to the
Government. The campaign which
opened recently for. the sale of war
.-avings stamps in denominations of
2a cents and $•> is of the utmo>* im
portance. No such opporturh’y j
phis has ev\ .* been offered ’o the!
American people lor investing theii j
savings with ubsoiid ? safety and at{
such attractive ra.es of interest. The
t,ov rnment wdl accept your n.on* y
and pay :ntc r< ! at he rate o< 4 pe.
; cent, pel annum coruonunded ipairter
Iv.
Let every man, woman, and child
reflect, as they are about to spend
! e/en 25 cents wasteful!}’ o.* needlessly
how much that 25 cents will do foi
some sp endid son of Amelia who is i
fight.a*.*' on the battle h.s of Lurope; |
