We must build our military strength-and, at the same time, we must keep our economy strong for the long pull Inflation bleeds both! very dollar cut from nonrmilitam spending JT is a dollar available Jbr defense and a check on Inflation Senators and representatives who have studied the matter say non-military expenditures could be cut back 5 to 7 billion dollars without crippling essential Government functions or services. Every dollar our Government cun cut from non-military spending is a dollar saved for the defense effort. It is also a dollar cut from the amount our Government must get from you in taxes, or by borrowing. Every dollar so out helps keep prices in check by holding down the demand for goods and services.

Your money IB at stake All of us as are already feeling the pinch of increased taxea, and there are more ahead. AB consumers we are already feeling the riee in prices. So every one of ua hat a personal atake in how oar Government the reaponalbiUty of cutting non-military expenditures. Calling on representative! in Government for economy in non-military "pending one of the most effective way! of aiding the effort and combatting Sixth Column the same time. Of course, cutting back means giving up some things, but this must be done in order to help pay for defense.

The only source from which the Government can get money is the one of those people is you. Five more things that must be done to check Inflation: 1. Increase production) To meet military needs; provide civilian necessities, help -keep prices down. 2. Support (axes needed to put our Government on a "pay-as-you-go" basis.

3. Accept controls! To assure military materials and to koep prices down by reducing competition for these materials. 4. Increase lavlngii To provide investment money for greater production, lessen the demand for goods, and to build a personal reserve for our own future needs. 6.

Buy only for real noedu We must prevent bidding against each other for scarce goods. None of these things will be easy for any of us to do. But everybody will agree that it's worth making sacrifice! if they result in preventing the Sixth Column bleeding our economy, JLhis message is one of a scries oa lunation.
