HOW THE WAR IS WON IN TOKYO
The Japanese radio recently celebrated the anniversary of the Solo-
mons Island battle in which the Japanese “crushed the combined fleet
of the United States and Britain with ome blow

“BACK THE ATTACK”
We are now in the midst of the Third War Loan Drive. with the
Government asking the people of the country to invest $15,000.000000
in the cause of freedom
It might not be a bad idea, as the invasion of Europe begins and
will continue with frightful hardships and loss of lives, to remind Amer-
fcang on the home front how little they know of war. Those of us who
stay at home, do not face the peril of enamy action, and our grumbling
over minor inconveniences is often a source for amazement for our men
at the front.
The only opportunity that a civilian has te help win the war is
through the opportunity to asist in financing operations. These are of
vital importance, both to the prosecution of the war and to the equil-
ibrium of the economic front at home,
The civilian investor is not asked to give away his money He is in-
vited to make an investment which will be safe and pay him interest
Every individual, man or woman, must determine the amount of
bonds to be purchased. This is a problem to be solved only by the per-
son affected. All that the Government asks of a loyal American is that
he, or she “Back the Attack” to the fullest extent possible.
