Speaking at the annual Achieve ment day dinner at the Nash county Federation of Home Demonstration clubs. Governor Cherry said: "I think all of our farm problems could be solved once and for all if all the farm experts in Washington, and a few of those in Raleigh who have not already had the experi ence, were required to live with one of our old-time dyed-in-the wool tenant farmers for five years as a prerequisite to holding their jobs. "Believe me they, would find out some things, moving every year to a new location and battling the hazards that once faced that pa thetic group. When the dust settled on their threadbare belongings about the fifth annual move, be lieve me they , would be ready to find some new and direct approach to the solution of farm jUls." In praising the home front activi ties of the American farmer dur ing the war, he he said that "if food and clothing and fighting im plements and morale won the war. then you farmers and farm wives won the war." Tracing the growth of agricul ture in the state, Cherry predicted that "nothing in the past can begin to compare with that the future holds for the farmer in the way of progress." "Times have changed," he said, "and other changes, just as good and just as beneficial, are in the making. Through the interest farm women have created, drabness has been replaced by beauty on many farms. Health has routed disease. Efficiency has replaced waste. The old sugar bowl once silent now rattles loud with loose coins from newly discovered sources. And there is folding money too." Farm men nad women, he said, "have wielded as muc hinfiuence for better farm to market roads as any group." He added that, with the help of farmers and rural resi dents, "We are going to have the best rural road system in the na tion." He pledges his efforts toward raising the state's standards of liv ing, saying that "We must accom plish more in the way of better homes, better schools, .better churches, better roads, and .better farming."

G AMBLE National Director, War Finance Division, U. S. Treasury The Victory Loan, now under way, is the crucial test of our war finance program. We must not only raise the $11 billion required by the Treas ury but we must do it in such a man ner as to avoid the danger of infia tion and to make secure the Peace for which over a quarter of a mil lion of our men have given their lives. That is why we are asking for $4 billion from individuals, $2 billion of it from the sale of Series E bonds. Why is this money needed? Brief ly, the reasons may be summarized as loliows: 10 bring our veter ans home and give them their mustering-out pay, to maintain our armies of oc cupation, to take care of our sick and wounded vet erans, to make prompt settle ment of our can celled war con- Ted R. Gamble tracts, and for other necessary governmental ex penditures during the next few months. The Budget Bureau recently esti mated total Federal Expenditures for the 1946 fiscal year ai $6fi 4 bil lion, or $33.7 bill'on below 19-15. Re ceipts were estimated at $30 billion, but these may be reduced somewhat by the new tax bill. This leaves a deficit of $30.4 billion, which must be met by Treasury borrowing. It is In order to help meet this deficit that the Treasury decided on the Victory Loan, the last big public drive for funds. As we enter this Victory Loan, I'd like to review brieily the accom plishments of our war financing pro gram. From May 1, 1941, when the program started, to October 1. 1945, we raised the huge sum of $207 bil lion. Furthermore, we raised this money through a plan of voluntary savings at the lowest Interest cost of any nation engaged in the war, and at the lowest selling expense ever recorded. In the first seven war loan drives, we set total quotas of $95 billion for all investors, and sold $135,749,000. 000 in war loan bonds. Every loan was oversubscribed. Billions more were sold in the interim periods be tween drives. We have sold these bonds to more than 85,000,000 Amer icans. By the time this loan is over, we will have sold one billion individ ual pieces of the popular Series bonds alone. Where did this money come from? Our figures show that individuals provided the Treasury with $49 bil lion net out of the $98 billion in new funds that has become available to them since May 1, 1941 and most of the remainder went into c;ish sav ings or commercial bank accounts. Insurance companies and savings banks invested all of the $22 billion in new funds that they received. State and local governments invest ed $5 billion of th $8 billion avail able. Private corporations had $39 billion of new funds from current iuxpluses and we obtained $28 bil lions of it Most of the remainder was needed by them for expanded wartime operations. Federal agen cies ar.d trust funds invested all of their $17 billion of new funds in gov ernment securities. In short, up to the end of the Sev enth War Loan, non-bank investors provided the government with $121 billion net of the $207 billion it had to borrow since May 1, 1941, the bal ance of $89 billion being absorbed by commercial Federal Reserve banks, most of it in open market purchases. Except for the investment of a lim ited portion of their savings depos its, we have not permitted the banks to subscribe directly to war loan curlites in the last five war bond drives, nor in the current Victory Loan. One of the most significant enlevements of our program is the widespread distribution of the public debt Millions of people who never before saved a penny in their lives, bow own savings bonds. It is esti mated that three-quarters of the Series E bonds sold to individuals were acquired by persons earning $5000 a year or less. Today, Indi viduals hold almost one-fourth of the total Federal debt outstanding. An tven larger proportion of the inter est paid out on this debt will go to Individuals. Obviously, this will have a tremendous impact on post war purchasing power. Investing in Victory Bonds will build a second economy for the fu ture. We cannot afford to slump back into Indifference and selfishness tf we are to keep faith with those Who have paid moat dearly so that we could live in a free and peaceful world. We can and should buy Vic tory Bonds to the limit of our ability tf for no other reason than to ex prets our gratitude to our fighting men. They have done their job, and have done it well. It ia up to us to finish ours, so that they may come back to the kind of an America they dreamed ebout a land of opportu nity with full employment full pro duction and high Income. The Vic tory Loan ia oat opportunity to ex pree again our faith In America. Happy Housewife "I bought a summer resort hotel for almost nothing." "You won't get any business though, will you?"
