TUr 7th UIAD I HAU
inc. / VYHI\ LUHI1 starts May 14. Americans
as individuals are taking on their biggest quota to
date?7 billion dollars, 4 billions in E Bonds alone.
You may be wondering, "Why this biggest of all individual
quotas now? Haven't we already reached the peak?"
A fail* question?requiring a straight answer.
The Money Is Needed For War
The Battle of Japan has just begun. It must be backed up,
paid for, fought for by a 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; tougher, 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 reached
the annual rate of normal replacements?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 Empire?and the
men who defend it?are expendables. The Jap will fight the
Battle of Japan from inside the inner Empire, of which Iwo
Jima was an outpost. And Iwo Jima, according to Admiral
Nimitz, was a pattern of the resistance our forces may expect
to meet in future offensives.
New Tasks, New Needs
The single greatest obstacle to our crushing of Japan is distnnre.
While in the Battle of Europe supply ships from our
bases in England had only an overnight run to^nake, ships
in the Pacific have long-reach round trips taking up to ft
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 supplied day-in, dav-out by hundreds of new
ships now building.
More of everything wall be needed. More B-29's. 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 combat
planes, the P-80 or "Shooting Star," coming off the lines

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 musteringout
pay and benefits voted by Congress 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 supporting the 7th War
Loan?reasons that take us from the present to the future.
By investing in the 7th War Loan, the patriotic American
is safeguarding his own future, 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?thus putting a lid on the cost of living
and 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 depression, unemployment, misery, and heartache.
So save for your country?save for yourself. In helping
your country, you are also helping yourself! Come peace,
i'HE MIGHTY 7

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 Savings Bonds.
Making 2=3 !l
This year there will be only two War Loan Drives, not three.
But in those two drives the Government will have to raise I
almost as much money from individuals as in the three
drives last year. That means bigger extra bonds in the 7th.
Because only by buying more can we make 2 take the
place of 3.
The 26 million Americans who buy bonds on payroll
savings are already off to a flying start! These patriotic
men and women began their buying in April. And they will
keep on buying extra bonds through May and June!
t
It's now up to the rest of us. It's our turn to swing in line.
To raise the vast sum needed, every American will have to
dig deeper into current income?dig deeper into cash reserves.
Only by buying bigger extra bonds can we stretch
2 into 3!
Let all Americans do their part?for their own sake, for
their country's.
If you have an income, whether from work, land, or capital,
you have a quota in the 7th War Loan. Find out what
that quota is?and make it!
