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.
