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.
