Victory Bond Money Essential Continued need for huge Bond sales and the bidding of those now owned until maturity was seen with the release of the figures More than ever, it was raid. "To have and to hold” applies to Victory Loan and War Bonds. More than ever It Is necessary to give all-out support to the Victory ' Loan, officials said.

Add the veteran cost to the war cost and the estimated cost is s3lf.- i 000,000,000. Mr. Smith said that recasting j the figures that went to Congress in the annual Presiden'ial budget , message in January show that the . original estimate of 170,000,000,. 000 for the war this year alone lias licen reduced to J 50,500,000- 1 000 due to the war’s end.

France, Germany, Africa, Italy Those who did not survive will not need the usslslance of a responsive ami never-failing homifront. How responsive the homefront I* will be demonstrated through the sale of more and bigger Victory Bonds, officials said. Added to the above costs interest on the puldie debt is something to make on*' sit up and blink It will take "more than 35,000,000,001* yearly," Mr. Smith said and. he added, "lax refunds will remain high until about a year after the Pacific war and will decline dras’lcally thereafter.” Mr Smith warned that a drop of 3;:9,ooO,mio,ooo In revenue this year is In prospect." Corporations will pay about ■ 3tlt'«."'"'.‘'<m less in divet taxes ami individuals — due in part to the loss of war wages about 33.3tm.ittm,mm less.” he added. This is a loss of 31>.3(m,ooo.mm in these two departments alone. Mr. Smith’s figures show. It is about half of the quota of tin* Vi< tory laiall. The total revenue loss Is almost three times tha’ of the mighty 7th quota. Thus, it was agreed here, the Victory latan is ax vital a need as were any of its predecessors. That 35,000 college education only costs 33.750 in Victory Bonds today; the difference is profit at maturity.

Such developments may topple the government of Premier Kljuro Shidehara. he said. "We know we have enemies in i the government, no matter how willing and polite they try to act,” the official said. "But they will not get by with anything." Foreign minister Shigerti Yoshida called on Gen. Douglas MacArthur today. Japanese sources said he asked for modification of MacArthur's demand for the Immediate recall of all Japanese diplomatic representatives abroad. The Japanese contended that the directive would shackle Japan in diplomatic functions, particularly with neutral states. They admitted that the government held little hope of getting the order countermanded al’ogether. but did hopt> for leniency.
