factors
and money,
Most nations making ready for war
first mobollte their man-power. The
United States has reversed the usual
order by first mobpllxlng Its money-
power. The reasons for this reversal
are self-evident. This country, not
being a military power, did not have
1st men ready for Immediate Ightlng,
But, being the richest nation In the
world, Us wealth waa ready for ae
tlon. So, In Ita anxiety to make It
might Immedately felt In the greatest
war of all times, It began by marshall
ing Ita dollars.
The Liberty Loan means just what
Its title implies, it is our Irs t bit add
ed to tbe Joint activities of liberty lov
ing nations to crush German autocracy
and all that if atanda far. It la our
immedate substitute for an army. It
la our of wing to renew tha credit of
shall be able to place our army along
side theirs in the trenches.
Tbe Liberty Loan waa authorised
by Congress within three week of the
date of our recognition of a state of
war with Oermany. It outlines the
greatest financial program ever under
taken by any nation on earth.. It au
thorised the Secretary of the Treasury
to use the credit of the nation to the
extent of seven billions of dollars
five billions to be borrowed by the sale
of bonds, and two billion to be raised
by certificates of Indebtedness. It pro
vided that three billions of dollar of
this money should be loaned to our
European allies without profit to the
United States. It fixed the Interest
rate at not to exceed three and one-half
per cent aad provided, that tf, at any
time during the war, tha United States
issued other loans at a higher rate,
these bonds would be convertible at
tho higher rate.
Secretary of the Treasury William
O. McAdoo Immediately began to make
available to tba alllea a portion of the
credit, represented by. tha eertllcatee
