But the threat that today’s peacetime inflation offers to our personal and national eco nomic security makes it vital that we achieve, the objective. “I have no doubt that this coun try can and will meet the quota.” He said that rapid progress was being made toward completion of the volunteer organization that will carry out the Savings Bonds solicitation in the; county, .but urg ed that individuals, clubs and or ganizations offer, their services in the campaign, t “The United States cannot be strong unless we have a strong na tional economy,” he said. “If the individual citizens of this and every county in the nation provide for their own financial security, it folloWs that the nation is strong economically. Widespread owner ship of * Savings Bonds by the peo ple ; fights inflation, provides a guard against possible depression arid allows for the sound manage ment i of our national debt.
