FINANCIAL STRENGTH OF
THE UNITED STATES
Two billion dollars is a tremend
ous sum of money. Yet the Ameri
can people have loaned their Gov
ernment that much and have barely
touched their resources. The money
was "raised so easily it only seemed
to show the tremendous financial
strength of the country.
It is not one-tenth of our bank de
posits. It Is less than one-eighth of
our bank loans for one year. It was
less than one-half of our national
savings for 1916 and only Ave per
cent of our national income for that
year accordin'g to estimates.
Not only is this first Liberty Loan
Bond Issue of two million dollars
much larger than the initial loans of
any of the other nations engaged in
the war but it was raised in much
less time with much less effort and
was subscribed to by a vastly larger
number of individuals; this too
when danger was far from us and the
nation in a calm frame of mind.
The coming second Issue of Liberty
Loan Bonds, with the great mass of
the people of the country much bet
ter educated as to Government bond
issues and Government finances in
general, it is rasonable to suppose,
will be disposed of with even greater
success than the Initial issue.
The over-subscription to the Initial
issue of over a billion dollars augurs
well for the success of the next loan.
There are several million more In
vestors in Government bonds in
America than there were a month
ago. Tiien there were some three
hundred thousand holders of United
States bonds; now there are over
four million. And the thrill of the
thought of our soldiers in France
will rally the people to the nation's
call.
