A. R. Rogers and the Ninth District War Loan committee cite that if 110 million Americans saved 25 cents daily for 25 months, they would amass about 21 billion dollars, matching the U S national debt on January 1 1919. The plan stresses small, steady thrift and notes Liberty Bonds as a faster funding route.
