The Honda A Koiornment bond la as safe aa a $20 bill. It I practically the same thing. the government's promise to pay, only the bond bears interest, the piece of paper currency doe not. Either Is worth face value at any time and at any place, with the probabil ity that the bond will be worth more than par. - - Our supply of gold, the basis of our credit structure, la now not only the greatest of any uatton on earth, but we bave mobilized an amount of gold here which Is more than this or any other nation ever held before. The federal reserve banks alone hold approxi mately a billion and a haff dollars. "The combined resources of our national banks, savings banks, and trust companies now exceed the vast sum of $37,000,000,000, more than twice as great as the resources of all our banks 11 years ago, and approximately $12,000,000,000 more than their resources In the early part of 191 2.- The Interest Itale The II rut Issue of-Liberty bonds bore jl ', interest. The sec ond Liberty loan bears Cr Interest. The reason is stated clearly In an address of Secretary McAdoo before the National Rankers' convention ut Atlantic City: "We can not soil bonds In billions on the basis of what they may be worth to the very rich. They must be offered to all the people alike at one price and should appeal to all alike and upon nunl tortus. The result of selling a bond which bears a' low rate of Interest and carries exemption from graduated and superincome luxes will be this: The poor and the people of modest means will buy them tor patriotic reasons but will be unable to hold them be cause the return la too small. The tendency will be all the time for these bonds to be purchased from them and accumulated by the very rich without any adequate consideration motlirg from them either to the I' lit ted States or to the original subscriber. In these circumstances tho value of the tax exemption depends not upon tho bonds themselves tint upon a wholly extraneous fact the ex tent of the wealth of the holder. , "The principle Is now firmly grounded In our national policy that graduate taxes shall he laid upon wealth In order that the burden of taxation may be equitably distributed and made to bear more heavily upon the rich than the poor." The Cans A French banker tell the story of a sweet-faced old woman when the call came for the people to turn In their gold for tho prosecution of the war. A few hundred francs In gold were the savings of her life. She aent them to the government official to be used In prosecuting the war. These few hundred francs represent ed her only hop of comfort In extreme old age. She had grand children at the front. When the official, upon receiving the money gave her a government bond, She said: "I didn't know I was to receive anything for It." , , The free peoples of the earth have built a dike across Bnlgium and northern France with the bodies of their young men of mlll- lary ago. It restrains the ungovorned lust for power, prestlse. and territory of what the world has termed the "Royal hofye of Ho henzollern." If that dike breaks, America' Is not safe. We are fighting In the cause of humanity, to make the world safe tor democracy, nnd also we are fighting for the right to live peacefully In America, unterrllled by passions which shoifld only animate wild beasts. Our own 'hoys will soon be making the dike stronger. The front waves of Prussian ' militarism grow less threatening. The French have held. the British are attacking," we must help. .
