THE SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY

WASHINGTON

May 1, 1942

TO THE PEOPLE OF INDIANA

With no exploital ambitions intended in this action, the staff believes it is fair to say that they are proud of the two years of accomplishments. Many patients have been spared the trips to the larger cities by the existence of our little hospital. You are invited between the hours stated to inspect this Hospital and look over its equipment. Please confine yourself to these hours and our receptionists will take you through.

This seek a new campaign for the sale of War Bonds and Savings Stamps is under way throughout the Nation. It is the War Bond Quota Campaign.

Prosecuting Attorney—Wm. P. Birchler. County Offices —Auditor, Horace Sohn; treasurer, Leonard Sitzman; sheriff, Roy Held, 1750, Leonard Walker, 1050; cornorer, Charles P. Fuller; Surveyor, Willis Reinke; assessor, William Dawson; commissioner, 1st district, Charles H. Young, 1474; James J. Rimstidt, 1374; commissioner, 3rd district, Fred Southwood, 1230, Raymond Wittman, 861, George Lynam, 484.

It is urgently necessary that you double the rate at which, you are now buying War Bonds and Stamps. This will mean the sale direct to individual Americans of War Bonds and Stamps to the amount of not less than one billion dollars every month.

One billion dollars a month is the National quota. It is equal to one-tenth the combined incomes of all Americans.

This money is needed to buy the tools- of ear for your fighting forces. It will not pay for all of them. Our war expenditures now are at the rate of about FOUR BILLIONS a month, and they are growing daily. But a billion dollars a month direct from the people will make all-out production possible. Without it we cannot do our best without it we cannot put forth our full effort.

It is desperately needed for another reason. We can't fight a war and at the same time live and spend as usual. There are not enough goods to go around — the things we buy with money. If we go on spending at the 1941 scale, we'11 be robbing the fighting man to add to our own comfort or pleasure. We'll be driving up the cost of living for all of us. We'll be imposing dire hardships on our neighbors.

Cincinnati, O., May 8—A patriotic appeal for laborers for defense work at Pearl Harbor was issued today to workers in Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky by D. C. Whelan, Manager, Sixth U. S. Civil Service District, which comprises these three states.

Is Liberty worth it? Is Democracy worth it? Is America worth It? I think I know your answer.

Sincerely,

“Uncle Sam needs workers at once,” Mr. Whelan stated. “It is an opportunity for patriotic workers to do their part in strengthening the defense positions of our country. It is their chance to do their part in making it possible to hit the Japs with a two-fisted attack that much sooner and harder.”

The above letter was sent to this newspaper by Secretary Morgenthau in Washington. We publish it in the interest of the War Bond Quota Campaign and earnestly recommend that all our readers do their share in the tremendous job ahead of financing the War effort.
