Call 105 r Citizens' Reconstruction Organization QUESTION: What is the Cithern' Reconstruction Or ganization? ANSWER: It is a nationwide group of citizens working for the restoration of confidence and the return of idle money to circulation. The movement was initiated at Washington aa one step in the whole process of reconstruction. Other steps include the National Credit Corporation to strengthen the banking situation; the Reconstruction Finance Corporation to assist worthy borrowers in the railroad, industrial and banking fields; the Glass-Steagall Act to liberalize credit and fortify member banks of the Federal Reserve System. QUESTION: Where and how may the bonds be pur chased? ANSWER: Through any bank. Application may be filed through the members of our group, but pay ment and delivery can be made only through the banks. Application should designate the bank through which the purchaser wants delivery, and such application will be turned over to the banks concerned. QUESTION: What is the attitude of the banks toward these bonds? QUESTION: Why is it important to get money out of ANSWER, hiding? ANSWER: Idle money yields no return to anybody. It Is positive hazard to have it around the house. It increases unemployment. The country is suffering from a lack of credit a large part of which ia due to money withdravVn from circulation. Credit ia the lifeblood of business. One dollar hoarded means the withdrawal of five to ten dollars of credit. If all the money at present idle were put to work, it would be evidence of reawakened confidence; it would add to the strength of our banks and enable them to meet the needs of business. QUESTION: Has this campaign any political aspects? ANSWER: None whatever. It is absolutely non-partisan. Its members are made up of all political parties, banded together in a common cause that of putting cur rency back to work at the earliest possible moment. It is a war on depression, which calls for the same united front that any other national emergency demands. QUESTION : Just what is the worker expected to do? ANSWER: His job ia educational, first; selling, second. His job is to get money into circulation whatever channel is used is unimportant. Our strongest argument will be the self-interest of the owner of idle funds; show him that be foregoes a return on his money; he risks his principal through fire, theft, etc; he hazards his own job if he has one. If he puts his money back into the bank. If he buys good securities which are now so plentiful on the market real estate, or commodities, our purpose is accomplished. The objective is to get money into circula tion ; the method should be left to the individual. QUESTION: Why are the Reconstruction Bonds issued? ANSWER: To provide an interest -bearing security so sound and so marketable that there can be no excuse for any one keeping his money in hiding because of a lack of confidence. The Government can raise all the money it needs in other and simpler ways than through the sale of these small-denomination bonds. These bonds are issued for the sole purpose of providing a medium of investment to those who are unwilling to place their funds in other accepted channels. QUESTION: What are the features of the Reconstruc tion Bonds? ANSWER: They will be dated March 15, 1932, and will run for one year. They will be payable at the hold er's option at par any time prior to their maturity by giving 60 days' notice to your bank. They will be avail able in amounts of $50, $100 and $500. They will bear interest at the rate of 2$ interest being payable Sep tember 15, 1932, and March 15, 1933, through presenta tion of the interest coupons attached to the bonds. They will be the Dromise to nav of the TTnitr ;.. ment. Here, then, is an investment whose security is unquestionable, instantly salable, and always worth its purchase price on short notice The American Bankers Association, through its president, has pledged its co-operation in the distribution of the bonds. The rate of interest was pur posely made low, so as not to attract money from savings in banks. Moreover, money from the sale of the bonds wul remain with the banks through which the purchases are made when they qualify as government depositaries. Thus local money win be put to work in the community from which it is drawn out of hiding. QUESTION: Is this another Liberty Loan campaign? ANSWER: Decidedly not. We are not seeking volume sales. The campaign is directed solely against hidden money; nothing is to be gained by diverting money that is already on deposit with banks, or employed in any other way. The campaign will succeed if we get money into circulation through any channel. Insofar as these new bonds are concerned, it will succeed only as they attract idle money. QUESTION: How will the salesman pick his prospects? ANSWER: There is no method of picking out those who are hoarding money; consequently, there win have to be some general calling. People don't like to be suspected of hoarding, so it is important for the salesman to explain that we are obliged to can generally in order to accomplish our purposes. With every caU, whether the prospect ia hoarding or not, there is an opportunity for the salesman to do a constructive job by explaining tha whole reconstruction program, by telling of the evils of idle money, and by enlisting the support of the individual in the movement. You win find most people eager for something to do, or for a cause to enlist in. QUESTION: What should be the worker's approach in making his calls? ANSWER: He should establish his connection with the Citizens' Reconstruction Organization; state its objectives, and point out the menace of idle money. If in the conversation it develops that the prospect has money in hiding, the effort should be to get him to agree to put it at work in some way the Reconstruction Bonds being just one of the methods available. Triers should never be any reflection cast on banks or upon securities in general, as a means of selling these bonds. QUESTION: Suppose your prospect says he prefer some other issue of government bonds? ANSWER: Ten him to buy them. Our job is done when wa induce him to put his money to work. QUESTION: Will there be any way of buying the Reconstruction Bonds on a partial-payment plan? ANSWER: No. There has been no provision made for this. The denominations were made small so as to eliminate the necessity for partial payments. QUESTION: How would you meet the situation of tha man who has completely lost confidences who insists that he doesn't trust anybody and is going to hang on to his money? ANSWER: Point out to him that these bonds are as good as the money which he is hoarding. If the bonds are no good, neither is his money for the bonds are equivalent to interest-bearing money. As an asset, they are better than money, because they bear interest. The . United States is stfll the richest and most powerful nation in the world. It alwavs has paid its debts, and it will COO-, 'time to do so. QUESTION: When do we start? ANSWER: The bonds win be officially announced on Morw day, March 7, and win be available on March 15 and after. The selling campaign win last only a week, so it is important to get under way on the day of offering. QUESTION: What kind of backing will we get in the) campaign? ANSWER: A national radio broadcast, with President Hoover, Secretary of the Treasury Mills, Gen. Dawes and Senator Robinson participating, will be held Sunday night, March 6, at 10:15 o'clock, eastern stand ard time. This will formally inaugurate the campaign. During the week of March 7, a series of newspaper adver tisements win be released throughout the country. Both the broadcast and the advertisements wiU stress the im portance of putting money to work, with secondary em phasis on the bonds themselves. QUESTION: What has the Citizens' Reconstruction Organization accomplished so far, and what reason is there to expect that its further efforts will be successful? ANSWER: Government figures indicate that since this movement was put under way there has been a definite improvement in sentiment. Hoarding has been greatly reduced and a flow of currency has been turned back into circulation. The realization is gaining weight that positive action must replace a do-nothing policy, and that final responsibility for improvement rests with the individual. This campaign represents the individual's chance to do his share. Don't give the impression that the reconstruction efforts that we aU are making can bring back prosperity in a day or month. It should be pointed out, moreover, with the greatest emphasis, that no amount of reconstruction legislation in Washington wUl of itself cure the depression. We do know without any question that prosperity cannot return until the people of the country, the average man and woman, regain their confidence and start working for better times. Our workers should try to carry a ringing message of con fidence, not based upon any exaggerated predictions of imme diate prosperity, but pointing out, as stated by Former Presi dent Coolidge in hh message to the Reconstruction Organization: "The people can help do an these things if they want them done. If they win not save them selves no one can save them. The time has come ' for the people to take charge of their own affairs. They should use their own money for their own benefit by putting it into circulation.'' Remember, also, that the job won't be done by preaching con fidence for a week. We have aU got to get behind this work by building confidence and by staying behind it. Every patriotic citizen can help the reconstruction move ment by putting his money to work, and talking to his friends about this forwa-d effort. Read this questionnaire, and become a salesman for better times. Space for this advertisement was generously donated by tne publisher of this newspaper and all preparatory work kas been done gladly by Public spirited citiseus. The above has been agreed upon as the standard form cf instructions to all representatives of the Citizens' Recon struction Organization. CHAIRMAN. CttiteaV Kur. Owi,, A
