| Description: | April 30th, 1941. Radio Address on the President's Purchases of the First Defense Savings Bond and Stamps. President Franklin Roosevelt makes a pitch for Defense Bonds & Savings Stamps. "With jobs more plentiful and wages higher, slight sacrifice here and there, the omission of a few luxuries, will swell the coffers of our Federal Treasury. The outward and the visible tokens of partnership through sacrifice will be the possession of these defense bonds and defense savings stamps which are, at the same time, a guarantee of our future security. ... fellow Americans, I ask you to demonstrate again your faith in America by joining me in investing in the new defense savings bonds and stamps. I know you will help." | |
