RECOGNIZING THE FACT that in carrying the war into enemy territory, we shall
need greater amounts of money than any nation has ever asked from its citizens m
all history, I, FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT, President of the United States of America,
do officially proclaim that on Thursday, the ninth of September, 1943, the Third War
Loan shall be launched.
As Commander-in-Chief, I hereby invoke every citizen to give all possible aid an,,
support to this Third War Loan drive, not only so that our financial goal may be reached,
but to encourage and inspire those of our husbands and fathers and sons who are under
tire on a dozen fronts all over the world. It is my earnest hope that every American will
realize that in buying War Bonds in this Third War Un he has an opportunity to express
voluntarily and under the guidance of his conscience, the extent to which he will ' back
the attack.’*
The American people supported well the first and second War Loan drives and in
fact did even more that, was asked of them. Our need for money now is greater than ever,
and will continue to grow until the very day that Victory is won; so we must ask far more
sacrifice, far more cooperation than ever before.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the
United States of America to be affixed.
DONE at the City of Washington, this twenty-sixth day of July, in the year of our
Isord nineteen hundred and forty-three, and of the Independence of the
fSF.AI.1 United States of America the one hundred and sixty-.eighth.
By the President:
CORDELL HULL
Secretary of State.
