The job of reorganizing government machinery must be finished at once ® In 1916 the cost of national defense was $2.25 per capita. By 1938 it was $8.00, and in 1948 it had jumped to $100.00. Now the cost of defense is fast approaching $200.00 for every man, woman and child in the nation. Faced with such an increase, it’s easy to see the need for maximum efficiency in government opera tions. Yet the Hoover Report disclosed that the gov ernment was borrowing money from itself and pay ing interest on it and that no basic change had been made in the organizational structure of a certain Department since 1853/ i Today, 50% of the bipartisan Hoover Report recommendations have been enacted into law. Al though they’ve made a big start in the important job of modernizing government machinery and have cut waste by billions of dollars annually, there’s still much more that must be done. Now the rest of the Hoover Report recommen dations are before Congress. If these beneficial acts are passed, they will put our government in fighting trim to face any eventuality and save billions more. Here's what you can do. Send today for your copy of the FREE booklet, "Will We Be Ready?” This booklet gives the rousing story behind the Hoover Report—the startling facts it disclosed—the wonderful progress it has made. With it you will be well prepared to work for better government- to help finish a job on which our National Security may well depend. ^ mediately B£e °K VS TOO UTE!
