Title
The third Liberty Loan
Summary
Patriotic speech by Richard A. Purdy on behalf of the third Liberty Loan drive. Purdy was a member of the Four Minute Men, a national network of volunteers authorized by President Woodrow Wilson to deliver patriotic speeches during the four minutes between reels changing in movie theaters across the country. Coordinated by the U.S. Committee on Public Information, the Four Minute Men generated support for the American war effort, including encouragement to buy Liberty Bonds and Thrift Stamps. "Remember, this is not a war; it is the war. The task is to make the world free... It is the question of the survival of autocracy or democracy. They are in their death grapple. It is a fight to the finish and it is up to us."
