32 THE COMMAND IS FORWARD gan for the American motion picture industry, for the American people, and for the United Nations. These few words really contain the secret of success for winning the war and securing the peace. As an industry we have already achieved a high degree of unity under the inspiration of patriotism. Perhaps we may come to realize that we can solve our industry's postwar problems best by continuing to work together. As an industry we win when we work together. This Third War Loan campaign will undoubtedly succeed when measured in financial terms, but it can be especially significant if it serves also to unite one hundred and thirty million Americans in solemn resolve to let nothing interfere with the war effort. As a nation, we win when we work together. The other day, that unreconstructed southern rebel, the grand old man of the United States Senate, Carter Glass of Virginia, wired from his sick bed his enthusiastic approval of a statement by his colleague, Senator Carl Hatch, that "America united is America invincible." Let's use the period of the Third War Loan to emphasize again and again the transcendent importance of unitedly backing the attack on all the world's far-flung battle fronts. The more closely united we are, the greater the value of the bonds we are buying ourselves or selling to our patrons through the five thousand theatres which are official issuing agents for the United States Government, and the more closely we work together, the sooner the boys will come marching home.
