War Bond drive ends near goal with large gap for individuals
Public figures show the final day of the Fourth War Loan Drive fell four per cent short of the overall target and 34 per cent short of the $5.5 billion individual purchase quota. The article questions the meaning of these arbitrary targets and notes big buyers versus small buyers.
War Bond Quotas and Citizen Response Analyzed
The article argues that low purchase rates may reflect overly high quotas rather than a decline in public spirit. It notes prior drives faced shortfalls too and calls Washington to reassess next campaign quotas. It concludes Americans largely support drives within personal limits and cash contributions may exceed percentages.
