THE OREGON VICTORY LOAN
Tbe citizen who has felt that the
' attraction of the investment feature
f the Victory Loan was such that j
akonld be left to the banks to buy i
fa bonds, loses sight of the point of
afaae contact that directly affects the
dividual. Every bond bought by
ts banks becanse of the failure of i
as citizen to support the loan means
that the purchasing power of the
memey which Is withheld will de
crease accordingly. The bank buy
lag means additional inflation of the
carrency more credit liability and
kigner procea. That is an unavoid
able effect of inflation.
It will mean that industry, busi
ness and commerce must suffer be
asroe it will reduce the ability of the
sanks to loan. If Business suffers,
very citizen feels the effect of that
esstdltlon. The citizen who Is willing
a allow his money to lie idle and
wait for the banks to buy Victory
loads is pursuing a shortsighted pol
ity. Honey of the individual should
ha Invested in order that the indi
vidual may collect the interest income
atom the Treasury Department. If
very person buys a proper share of
the- (onds, each will receive his share
of the Investment both directly and
Indirectly.
There also appears to have been
an erroneous interpretation plnreil
upon the announcement that over
subscriptions will not be accepted.
Do hot worry about over-subscriptions
until the quota of the county,
town and hamlet has been over-subscribed.
The Treasury Department
will look after the matter of over
subscriptions. Instances have been
reported where people declined to
subscribe In the belief that their
district was already over-subscribed
when it was still short of Its quota.
Oregon boys at Chateau Thierry
did their duty promptly and turned
back the picked troops of the Hun
who were advancing towards Paris.
They didn't hesitate to see whether
someone else was doing the job.- It
is up to the people of Oregon to fin
ish the job.
Substantial over-subscription ' of
.the loan Is very desirable. In the
sale of bonds ottered by bond houses
j it is customary to "over allot" or

there are In existence. This sur
prising procedure has been found
necessary tor the reason that there
are always a certain number of can
cellations. People ask for more
bonds than they really expect to get,
or they change their minds. By the
method of over-subscription cancel
lations are taken care of In advance
and the after effect Is beneficial In
causing the bonds to sell above par.
There are two very strong reasons
why the people of the United States
should over-subscribe the Victory
Liberty Loan issue: First, the peace
treaty has not yet been signed and
there Is indisputable evidence that
German statesmen believe their op
ponents are war-weary and that a
show of defiance' may result in their
avoiding proper reparation for their
aggression. A large over-subscription
will have an immense moral ef
fect in the capitals of Europe. Sec
ond: The influence on business of
over-subscription will be to stimulate
business and strengthen the markets
for all American securities. Confi
dence is the foundation stone of pros
perity and the beneficial effect of

futur any self governing country
whose admission Is approved by two-'
thirds of the states already members I

PRINCIPLE OF RACIAL
EQUAUTYREJECTED
Paris. Th league of nations com
mission has rejected the Japanese
amendment on racial equality, accord
ing to an authoritative statement 'la
sued here.
Some of the members of .the com
mission voted against the specific In
clusion of this amendment In the cove
nant and, as unanimous approval of
th commission was necessary, th
amendment failed of adoption.
The amendment was admirably pre
sented by Baron Maklno. In th
course of his speech he emphasized
the great deslr of the Japanese gov
ernment and of the Japanese people
that such a principle be recognized In
the covenant His argument was sup
ported with great fore by Viscount
Chlnda.
Various members of the commis
sion, however, felt that they could not
vote for Its specific Inclusion In th
covenant Therefore, th commission
was reluctantly unable to glv to th
amendment that unanimous approval
which Is necessary for its adoption.
