From this moment [brward, however, this nation | must steel itself to grim realities and must, if we are Lo make full use of our strength, avoid wherever | possible the confusion, the fear, the lost motion, | and the working at cross purposes which breed from false alarming of the populace | What foundation, if any, there was for the fears | of enemy air-raid attacks upon the West Coast or upon the East Coast those first few days, it would be impossible to say definitely now. Both the | Army and the Navy have an important obligation in scouting and warding off such attacks. It is in-| cumbent upon them to issue any necessary warn- ings to the civil populace, where there is very good | tangible evidence upon which to base fear of such | attacks. But, by the same token, it is their duty | not to contribute to any mass hysteria unnecessarily. Until the nation is a little more acclimated to the grim business of war, practice air raids—if in-| deed they are only practices—should be announced | as such. There is a penalty for the confusion and worse which air-raid alarms create in a large city The people must learn to, and be able to, trust the reliability and efficacy of their air-raid systems. If we are to win this war, and must, we need determination that giints in a man's eye, not the braggadocio that we might hear in his voice.| We need his ener: work, and not altogether spent at waving the flag.

There is one thing that each of us can do at once, and keep on doing, to help strengthen the defenses of the United States. We can show the world where we stand by buying Defense -Savings Bonds and amps. The Government needs the money for this war and it needs especially to have as much as pos- sible of the effort financed in this sound w Since the sale of Defense Bonds began last May subscriptions have totaled about $2,000,000,000. This is equal to less than $286,000,000 a month, or less than one-quarter of the average monthly rise in the national income, In Britain small savers contribut- ed to the national war effort $4,000,000,000 in a little less than two Having regard to our larger population, comparable effort here would mean monthly subscriptions of over $452,000,000. We should be able to equal and exceed this record. Up to now the Government has been reluctant to put on anything like an intensive drive for defense sav- ings. It has, perhaps, been too reluctant. time is past. We ‘are at Wi The Government needs our. savir it needs a regular contribution from our earnings. By this means we can not only help finance the war, but we can help avert linflation and see that we get a maximum of airplanes, guns and ships for our money.
