Both Pratt and Poncin are rated able to buy $50,000 to $75,000 bonds be bough ys ratt bought on 1,- 000 worth. f “Committes - have _re- peatedly called upon Pon- cin,” says a statement of the executive com- mittee, “and he has kept them waiting in the ante- room, and treated them discourteously and indif- ferently. He stated he would buy $5,000 of bonds, and that was the best he could do, and after repeated calls fin- ally ‘aid he would pur- chase $15,000, but upon this basis Seattle will never raise its quota, as he is well able to pur- chase the amount of his rating.” According to the com- mittee, Judge Burke and several other prominent citizens called on Pratt. He told them he had put $23,000 in the Red Cross barrels and could not buy as many bonds as ex- pected. “Do you mean to say you put $23,000 in Red Cross barrels _ here?” Burke questioned. It then appeared that Pratt meant two or three thousands. When Burke declared there was no such record in Seattle, Pratt is alleged to have told the committee that he had put that amount of money in the Red Cross barrels in Chi- cago. e . s There are wealthy slackers, to be sure. Just how many, we do not know — YET. Perhaps there are only a few. But the slackers are not confined to the very wealthy class alone. The industrial division is fall- expected has in the shipyards and shops. It is true that the de- lay in the Macy award has left the shipyard workers “in the air.” It is true that wage earners must sacrifice in order to buy bonds; that they cannot buy with surplus money, because they rarely have surplus. But that sacrifice MUST be made. The hopes of the country are built upon the sacrifices of the people as a whole ..—and not upon the mere “generosity” of million- aires, If the industrial divi- sion makes good on its rating, all the more credit is due it because of the sacrifi¢es in- volved. _We are on the verge of victory. It is within our grasp if we can keep up our tremendous pace. To slow down now means a prolonging of the war unnecessarily. This, then, is our duty: If you have already sub- scribed, invest some more. If you haven't bought any bonds, by all means hurry and do it today.
