Tlle war is llpw costing us 260 million dol- ‘ lars a day, or more than 10 million dollars an hour. President Roose- velt's budget calls for an expendi- ture of over 100 billion dollars in the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1943, the largest annual budget of any nation in the world‘s history. “Where will this money come from?” is the question most fre- quently heard from persons whose imagination is staggered by the magnitude of the nation‘s war financing operations. The answer is simple. It will be available in the approximate 24 billion dollars of savings of individuals who will be earning 74 billion dollars dur— ing the last half of the year. The Treasury is going after the great- I e'st portion of these savingsbe— cause it is necessary to get this money either through Bonds or taxes, not only to finance the, war, Headquarters '* .

This income may find its way into the hands of individu- ‘als, into corporation profits or re- serves, or it may be paid to the government as taxes. It is im- portant to remember that some.- body gets a dollar of income for ievery dollar of goods produced. I If individuals and business firms and corporations receive l more income than there are things produced for them to buy, then 'cxcess funds arise. At the same itime, the government will neces- jsarily be 'reCeiving less in taxes ithan it is spending. Tllus, it all boils down to the fact that the igovernment deficit is matched by {the combined surplus of everyone else. During the Second War Loan idrive in April, the Treasury asked lindividual investors to buy 2.5 bil- llions of Bonds, and they bought 33.3 billions. In September, it is tasking them 'to buy practically i twice as much. It is a tremendous ibut not an impossible task. The :incomes received by the Ameri- } can people will be so much great- ler than the sum total of things ithat they can buy, that money iwill be at hand to purchase the inecessary Bonds and still pay ltaxes, life insurance, mortgage, lobligations, doctor and hospital lbills, and provide the necessities 30f life. Plan is Voluntary While the Treasury’s goal for individual investors is more than twice as large as it was in the ;fll‘St six months, that does not ihecessarily mean that every fam- iily is going to have to set aside larbitrarily more than twice as lmuch. Under the voluntary plan, I, the Treasury leaves it to the fam- iilies themselves to decide how gmuch they can spend for Bonds. :Obviously, some family groups, lwherevextra workers are profit- lably employed, are in a better iposition to buy War Bonds than families who either haVe heavy lpre-war commitments, such as {real estate payments and insur- iance, or whose income has in— !creased little during the war per- l iod. ! Many people already are putting thigh percentages of their pay in- lto War Bonds. Some women in lwar jobs, with husbands work- ling, are investing nearly all their ipay in War Bonds. Other family Igroups, with two or more wage 9, earners, .are investing 25 per cent lor more of their combined in- !comes. While some families are 1 making real sacrifices to buy War lBonds and help their government, .the large majority of individual investors is not yet purchasing Iall the bonds which it is capable iof buying, and this is the group which the Treasury must reach to attain its goal. , The Treasury believes that when ithe urgency of the need is ex- ;plained to the American people fthat they'rwill' respond to its ap< . i l . . l lpeal as they always have in the‘ 1 past.

As all octupus can be killed only through the heart, disregarding the tentacles, so must the Mikado‘s empire be destroyed.
