22 WAR SAVINGS STAMP SALE IS SETTING PACE Week Ending March 30 Was One of the Best of Campaign Philadelphia. Reports beginning to come to the headquarters of the National War Savings Committee in this city for the week ending March 30 indicate this to have been one of the best weeks for the sale of War Savings Stamps since the campaign began in December. Lebanon county made a very decided advance, due in part to a local competition among postmasters, and Philadelphia had the largest sales of any week thus ,I'ar. In this connection, Robert K. Cassatt, director for Eastern Penn sylvania. has sent a letter to the county chairmen in his district, urg ing them to renewed effort. Jlr. Cas satt told the chairmen frankly that the campaign is lagging in Pennsyl vania and that other states are far ahead of it In per capita sales of stamps. He said he felt that this condition should not exist and ho ih- j listed upon concentration of effort in I order that a better showing may be I made by the grand old Keystone State. Sell Stamp* With Bonds A statement has been issued by William G. McAdoo, Secretary of the Treasury, urging the prosecution of the sale of War Savings Stamps alcng with the third Liberty Loan drive, which begins next week. Mr. McAdoo's statement, which is ad dressed to the executives and work e.rs of the Liberty Loan and War Savings campaigns, says: "As the time for the opening of the campaign for the third Liberty Loan approaches, it seems advisable j tc set forth in a definite way a plan i by which the activities of these two organizations shall be brought into union for the period of the cam paign. "The war savings organization should have for its primary object the education of our 10,000.000 of people to the idea that at this time of war and national crisis the prac tice of thrift is not alone a matter of personal wisdom or advantage, l>ut is vitally necessary to the wel fare of the nation. The United Statws Government, in its prosecu tion of the war, requires the use of the products of labor to the extent of billions of dollars, while at the same time it has been necessary to remove from productive employment 1,600,000 men. This demand for ma terial cannot be met if the normal needs of our population are contin ued. To a reduction of these needs the chief activities of the war sav ings organization should be directed, and, as a complement to 'this work, the savings thus effected, when translated into terms of money, should be invested in United States Government securities. I'anipalicn Intensive "On the other hand, the Liberty Jjoan organizations are confronted with a problem of raising within a short space of time billions of dol lars to meet the immediate require ments of the Treasury Department. The campaign must be intensive and, while pointing out the necessities of so.lf-denial in expenditures, must be directed toward amounts of subscrip tions, as well as number of sub scribers, the needed amount must be raised, even though present savings' are not sufficient, and even though it becomes necessary to pledge fu ture savings through the use of c:edit facilities. "In the coming Liberty Loan drive therefore, the war savings organiza tions should continue their efforts in the formation of war-savings socie ties, educational work in the. schools end general thrift propaganda. Their actual selling organizations should, however, be combined and co-ordi nated with that of the Liberty Loan organization, to the end that during this period sales of Government se curities, both Liberty Loan Bonds and War Savings. Stamps, should be made in the largest amount possible to each Individual buyer; but the purchase of Liberty Loan Bonds, rather than War Savings Stajnps, should during the period be made the main object. "The first efTort of both the Lib erty Loan and war-savings organi zations during the coming drive should be to sell Liberty Bonds and no member of the war-savings organization should endeavor to di vert a purchaser of Liberty I.*>an Bonds to the purchase of War Sav ings Stamps. On the other hand, there are persons who are unable to ouy Liberty Loan Bonds, and all those persons should be urged to buy War Savings Stamps. KncouraKe Partial Payments "With regard to the partial pay ment subscriptions to Liberty Loan Eonds, these should be encouraged, but where employers of labor or oth ers have formed efficient war-sav ings societies which are actually ob taining systematic and adequate sub scriptions to War Savings Stamps, this work should not be interfered v.ith by any endeavor to supersede the war-savings societies by the in troduction of the partial-payment plan for subscriptions to Liberty Loan Bonds. Such war-savings so rieties should make every possible fftort to promote the sale not only of War Savings Stamps, but of Lib erty Bonds during the coming drive. "The loyal army of workers in both these organizations must real ize that they are working for a com mon cause, though by different meth ods: that each is a part of the Treasury Department force, and that fach is under Treasury Departmental control. "Complete harmony and unity of purpose helps both organizations in the attainment of the purpose of each—the successful financing of the war on a sound basis. We must have r-omplete and cordial co-operation be tween the two organizations, and I urn sure that I may count upon ev ery member of each organization for that kind of patriotic work. "I ask that these suggestions be carried into effect both in letter and ir spirit."
