Those totally disabled from any cause (sickness, accident, blindness ete.) between the ages of cighteen and sixty, as well as widows with one child or more are also covered. Business is guaranteed a steady stream of cash custome thus encouraging full employ- ment, full production and full distribution. This broad security program, guaranteeing a prosper- ous post-war America, would be financed by a small tax on the gross income of each individual and business. You 1 help enact this law—by wiring your congressman urging his aid in passing the bill. Mail him a copy of this paper. It took a World War to educate the American people on how to end a depression. War forced us all to co-operate and concentrate on the job in hand —putting down the Axis upstarts and ending the war as soon as possible. In one short year we are well on the way of doing this. We believe that in two years the job will be done. It would have been no bigger job for us to have ended the depression in two years if we had had the good sense to use the same methods we have used in war. What did we do in tackling this war job? Why, we opened the doors of the Treasury wide and said, “Expenses be hanged, this job must be done —and done quickly, regardless of expense.” We opened the national treasury doors and whatever was needed to organize and equip a big army and navy we bought and paid for; and suddenly discovered that in the process of spend- ing unheard of sums of money we were becoming rich and prosperous again. In a single year we raised the national income from about eighty billion to one hundred and thirty-seven billions —a gain of more than fifty billlions in a single year. This fact has given us courage. The de- pression had us licked. We were afraid of going Broiled Steak and Fried Chicken SERVED ANY TIME JUNEAUTOWNSENDCLUB Meeis Every Tuesday Evening in the Union Hall—8 o'Clock P. M. EVERYBODY WELCOME WHAT IS IT? into debt. We said that if this nation ever got into debt to the tune of a hundred billions we would never get out of debt. Now, with a net gain for the nation of approxi- mately fifty billlions in one year, a national debt of two or three hundred billions doesn’t look so frightening. Even a debt of five hundred billions could be paid off in full in ten years if we were on full wealth production in this country. Well, can’t we do in peace time what we had to do in war? Couldn’t we have licked the Axis? You bet we could! And we could have done it without all the haste and waste and fright and confusion that have accompanied our war effort. The Townsendites say, “Keep the doors of the national treasury open to the outflow of money but keep the inflow equal to the outflow by taxing all the adult population and all the business of the nation on the gross intake of money each month.” e two or three billions of this tax money eve month to buy national, mutual insurance for everybody, and pay out each month to the insured — the old, above sixty, the blind, the crippled, the deaf, the widows with children — all the physically incapacitated, an equal share of these two or three billion, whatever a 37/ tax on the nations gross income will produce, and tell them they must spend the entire amount they receive within thirty days to qualify for the next month’s payment. (This spending requirement will not be ope until six months following cessation of p hostilities.) When ten or twelve per cent of our popula- tion is receiving and spending this money (and this percentage of unemployables will be found in every community) it will be more effective in restoring and maintaining prosperity than the war has been by far, for it will distribute the THIS ADVERTISEMENT IS PLANNED TO APPEAR IN MANY METROPOLITAN NEWSPAPERS NAME ADDRESS CITY Townsend National Headquarters 450 East Ohio St., Chicago, Ill., Dept. 15 Dear Dr. Townsend: I want to do my part.

Let us quit fooling our foolselves with the belief that we cannot afford permanent pros- perity. ® American citizens, after the war, what? Are we going to allow an even greater depression to engulf us than we have just gotton out of? Are misery, bankruptcy, poverty and bread lines the goals for which brave men are fighting and dying? Unless we insure against these conditions now, the answer, obviously, is Yes. ® Such insurance is contained in the new Townsend bill. This assurance of fast-moving money going into every community regularly will do more toward re-establishing the little business man in business than all the subsidizing we have indulged in during the past twelve years. ® There is only one thing that can hold back the rapid industrial advance of the United States toward ever wid- ening horizons, That thing is the inability of the people to buy and use the ever-enlarging number of things produced. ® We must give as much thought to how we are to market the things produced, as we do to making them. Pro- duction is rapidly running away from consumption in these modern times. We must either speed up consump- tion or slow down production. Let us do the former; let us make every cifizen a good customer for business; let us i re that he will be a gopd customer, via the Town- send National Insurance Plan. National insurance for all—liberal spending by all. ® Let us not fetter and strangle business, big or little. Give the little business man opportunity and he will become a big business man. At this critical time we should thank God on bended knees that we had big business men with us. What confidence and courage our big business men and their establishments have given us as we tackled the biggest and most hazardous job our nation ever faced! ® Let us go forward from here in the true American way, the little folks happy in security, the big folks untram- meled to go as fast and as far as their genius can carry them. i MAIL THIS COUPON NOW Please send me Townsend National Weekly for six months [] Please send me a free copy of the Townsend Bill and a sample copy of Town- I am not obligated in any way.
