Jlany people who have been buying war saving stamps and certificates reg ularly or spasmodi- cally, and intend to continue doing so, seem to have a fear of, or cannot see the need of signing a pledge. To clear up any misunder- standing, the Sea - forth War Saving Committee would like to point out that it is imperative that our government have some as- surance as 'to the amount .they may expect from this 'type of war financ- ing. Hence you are asked to sign a pledge. If you are going eo be a war saver, this is the way to let the government' know about it. 'We must have 2,000,000 regular :war savers Who will buy stipulated amounts regularly. You are not Ibeing .asked to give anything, rather you are asked to "save" and lend your savings to the government, and at a 'good rate of interest. The war .most 'be 'won. It twill take your dollars to do i't. IPf the govern them cannot (barrow our stoney, it will have to raise the money 'through greatly increased taxation. Is it not i better 'then to 'buy war saving certifi- nates?
