PAGE FOUR NINTH DISTRIGT " WILL NOT FAL People Must Do Their Full Share Putting Victory Loan “Over the Top.” PATRIOTISM WILL DO IT Officiale of War Loan Organization Prepare for Campaign and Are Con- fident of Successful Dutcome— To Uphold Past Record. "The peopls of the Ninth Federal Reserve District will do their full share in finishing the job.” A. R, Rogers, Chairman of.the. War JLoax Organization,. unhesitatingly. made this promise to Carter Glass, Secretary of the Treasury, when he visited District Headquarters recently, “We know the temper, the patrio- tism and the record of the people of the Northwest too well to have any fear of their response to the loan of thanksgiving,” was the secretary’s re- sponse, 5 “Therefore, it is up to us to con- tinue to lead the United States ‘over the top,"” sald Theodore Wold, Gov- ernor of the Ninth District Federal Reserve Bank. “Because of past per- formances theé whole country is ex- pecting great things of.us.in the test of peace time patriotism; and, judg- ing from the ambition, enthusiasm and optimism already in evidence among our workers, we will not fail.” Speakers Get Busy. “We're off to a flylng start,” said Joseph .Chapman, district, directar. of speakers...‘Our campaign:of platform education and instruction opened Mazch. 24. .. Every .county. s .or. will. shortly. be organized with a speakers’ chaifrman. From now until the big buying day, April 21, there shouldn't be & meeting, large or small, in the whole district without a Victory Loan speaker on the program. Anyone who finds his county unorganized should take it up at once with his county chairman or with us. It is up to every man, woman and child to get busy and keep busy until the job 1s finished.” The Opening Gun. America's duty to her soldiers who suffered and bled and died for liberty on the flelds of France was empda sized in a stirring speech by Carter QGlass, Secretary of the Treasury, In the Minneapolis Auditorium the night of March 20. In his talk he pointed out the need of raising money the government must have “to finish the job” that the wear- ers of the khaki started so well on the other side of the Atlantic. L “The speech was the opening gun in the Victory Loan campaign that opens Aprfl 21 and was followed closely by a capacity house, made up of county chairmen from the Ninth District and delegates to the Better Business con- vention., He spoke in part as follows: “When I am told of the difficulties which will beset the Victory Loan 1 refuse to lose. faith in the enduring patriotism of the American people; 1 deeline to belleve that the fathers and mothers who gave foRr million sons to dle, if need be, that liberty might survive, will now haggle over the ma- iterfal cost of saving the very soul of fvilization from the perdition of Prus. fan tyranny. “But 1 am told that we must ap- proach the problem of future loans in R distinctly cold-blooded mood. Some men tell me it will be impossible again to appeal to the patriotism of the American people. Frankly, gentlemen, 1 should despair of my country if these things were exactly true. [ should doubt our ability to cope with the problems of peace if so quickly we should forget the obligations of war. 1 wonder if those who talk in this fashion speak considerately? They tell about the “sacrifices” the Ameri- can people have made, and in their voices there i3 2 metallic tone and in their mien unconscious austerity. “What is meant by the sacrifices of war for America?

Is {t, then, a serious sac rifice to invest one's money in the interest-bearing obligations of omne's government in order tosmake. ever- lastingly secure the nation’s freedom s well as . the. nation’s property? “Our allies fought for us nearly three years before we began to fight with them. For nearly that period of time the United States profited tre- mendously, in a commercial and in- dustrial sense, ‘by .the Eurgpean war. Immense fortunes were made; pros- perity pervaded our land. France and Britain lost millions of men killed and millions of others wounded. Less than pixty thousand American heroes sleep beneath the sod of France. Those men made the supreme sacrifice. . Should we dishonor their memories or dimin- ish the glory of. their service-by paus- ing in the cheerful performance of an imperative duty? = A “Whén men undertake to compute the sacrifices.of-a .war for freedom in terms of commerce 1. would like them to get a vision of some things I saw not .long. ago -on--the far-flung battle fronts of Ypres, which will, live in song and story, through time and eter- nity, as the most memorable of which history will ever. give account.

Great God! what a moment was that for civilization. And how beyond the imagination of man to picture human endurance and courage so everlast-! ingly sublime, ; 5 3 “Is thers no obfigation upon,_us, te recompense vicarious suffering like | that? Do we qujte fully appreciate the' sacrifices made by these boys for us, when we talk about discharging our debt on a commercial basfs, in a cold- blooded way? I want to be sensible in dealing with the Victory Loan; my own life has heen too hard and, too real to even suggest an excess of emo- tion. But, as the question looks to me, we should .not approach {t in cold blood. ;We have a right to in- voke the patriotism of the people, and today it takes a higher type of. pa- triotism to serve the nation than was required in‘the delirium of.war. Upon this I shall confidently rely; and . I here predict that the response will in no measure disappoin{ the expecta- tion of those who set &-high estimate upon the spirit of the American na- tion. ““We call this last the Victory Loan.
