QUOTAS 0r LOAN WILL DEPEND ON WARSTAMPSALES Oversubscriptions of January and February Savings Cam paign Allotments to Re duce Loan Task Victory Liberty Loan quotas of the Twelfth Federal Reserve District are to be determined In some measure by the amounts loaned the government by each district In War SavlngB Stamps during January and February. If a district oversubscribes its War Savings Stamp quotas for the first two months of the year, its Victory Liberty Loan quota will be decreased to tbe extent of the oversubscription. Conversely, If a district falls to reach Its January and February Stamp quo tas, its Liberty Loan quota will be Increased. When Lewis B. Franklin, director of the War Loan Organization, was In San Francisco recently, he revealed that on nhe day the armistice was Bigned there was in progress In Wash ington a meeting to formulate plans for the continuous Bale of Liberty I Bonds such a plan as governs the : sale of Thrift and War Savings Stamps. Moreover, the Liberty Bond and War Stamps work was to be closely coordinated. These plans were immediately dis carded when the Germans signed tho armistice and when Secretary of the Treasury Glass took office he an Bounced that the Victory Liberty Loan would be the last. In the face of sug gestions that the Victory Loan be put on a cold commercial basis, he added that the men making these sugges- , lions were discounting the patriotism of the American people and he would depend upon the patriotism of the American people rather than place se surlties of the United States govern ment upon a plane with the paper of private corporations. Tbe banks used to buy United States bonds bearing 2 per cent Interest be fore the war. That's how good the credit of the United States is. The J100 you put into a Victory Lib erty Bond will be worth $125 plus in terest when prices settle down. A dol lar is worth what you can buy with It. Better have the bonds of the United States In the hands of 30,000,000 ordinary citizens than concentrated In the hands of a few rich men. Think of that when Uncle Sam offers you a Victory Liberty Bond. Don't think you have sacrificed be cause you may be paying for your in terest-bearing Fourth Liberty Loan Bonds. These fellows back from France legless, armless or sightless don't think they have sacrificed. They simply think they did their duty. The Victory Loan coming In April is the last Liberty Loan. Then the war Is over for you. It will be still going on for 1,000,000 Americans in France. To Pollyfox. Put down a red mark to the senate's credit for Introducing the word "polly fox."
