The Treasury Department and the War Savings Staff in Alaska know that also. f But the vast majority of us can afford to invest 10 percent and more, in some cases, in our govern- ment, especially when there is so much at stake. After all, this sacrifice is far less than that of the selectee who gives up a fine job for $21 a month. It’s up to you to get in on this thing right now. This is a voluntary pledge.

Americans At Work (New York Times) In an advertisement published a few days ago General Motors Corporation” gave the public an in-| terim report on its war work. The dollar value of first-quarter deliveries this year was nearly five times | that of a year ago. This is good news at a time when | every clock-tick counts.

GET IN ON IT One of the few important things that wars have proved in the last several centuries is that democrat- ic nations, which have a different way of doing things } than those classed as totalitarian, usually come out on top in the end, because it ta the cooperation of people to wage a successful war Cooperation is something that has tc be given from the heart. You can’t get it—the real kind—by shoving a bayonet into John Public’s belly like Hitler | does and telling John Public:-to fork over or else Beginning today, continuing until May 25 inten- sively, but from then on out, Alaskans are going to be asked to decide on a tough issue. They're going to be asked by representatives of Uncle Sam to lend Uncle S. one out of every ten dollars they earn. That in a nutshell is Secretary Henry Morgen- thau's war bond program. Some wage carners are going to find it easy to invest 10 percent of their incomes in democracy. Otii- ers are going to have a little tougher time making the war, decision. Under the Voluntary Pledge Campaign, pledge cards will be circulated to workers, to every wage carner. For your cwn sake, for your country’s sake, sign to buy all of the bonds you possibly can afford. Sign for more than 10 percent of your salary if you can, because there will be some who will find diffi- culty in pledging that amount. cuffs!) Before you say, “It's out of the question for me to save 10 percent of my pay,” think about this: One of the prcposais peing considered by Con- gress as a means of beating back inflation is a 15 percent payroll tax. That would mean half again as| much taxes—money which you would never see again as the Treasury asks to have you invest in bonds. Secretary Morgenthau, with the President’s ap- proval, has put forward this bend program to block that kind of taxation. But indications are that both the President and Mr. Morgenthau realize that if this | bond campaign doesn’t go over the top, and in a big way, the pressure for a big wage tax is going to be | terrific bor. after May 31.

Yet the federal government depends on local authorities to handle a large share of protection. It is this inadequacy and overlap- ping of county sheriffs, state guards, and city police that Judge Denman drove home with great effectiveness at the War Department. He demanded that the federal government organize some Kkind of rescrve force to protect power plants, water systems, and other key enemy objectives in case the Japs use the fog blanket to stage a blitz on the Pacific coast this summer.
