THE COMING LIBERTY LOAN.
Tho Victory Liberty Loan, which
will complete our payments on the
war preparations that brought Gor
many to hor knees so suddenly last
November, will bo floated botwecn
April 21 and May 10, Tho Secretary
of tho Treasury has announced that
tho terms offered on the now loun
will bo such as to mnko tho govern
ment securities tho "best buy" on tho
market at tho tlmo It Is circulated.
While Mr. Glnss has not .announced
the amount ho would call for, tho best
informed publlo men say that tliq
issuo will be $5,000,000,000, with tho
right to nccopt all over-subscrlptlonB.
And now to consider briefly why
tho Victory Liberty Loan has to bo
floated among tho American people.
In tho first place, tho loan Is a
gool Investment. Beforo tho war,
most of us were not Investors. Today
one-fourth of our population are bond
holders and half of us hold somo sort
of government securities. Wo have
begun, at least, to learn tho thrift
habit that wo may lay up somo trens
tires on earth.
In tho second place, this was our
war, n war of tho American people,
democracy against tyranny. Wo have
testified fully to our sanction of this
war by Bonding 2,000,000 men to tho
bnttlo front, training 1,750,000 moro
and getting ready 4,000,000 to go into
training. Wo testified to our intorest
in it when wo subscribed $7,000,000,
000 to tho Fighting Fourth Liberty
Loan and gave liberally to our war
charities.
Now tho war Is over and we wonder
a bit why wo aro asked f6r moro mon
ey Thoro aro Btlll a million of our
lighting mon in Franco who must bo
brought homo. There aro thousands of
our wounded and sick in hospitals who
havo yet to ho cared for. Our mer
chant marine is still building that
America may take hor placo In the
world mart. All theso tako funds.
Yet that Is not tho real reason for
tho Victory Llborty Loan. Our gov
ernment had In process of construc
tion, when Germany capitulated, a war
machine which was planned to anni
hilate tho armies of tho Fatherland
during tho coming Bummer. Tho al
lied exports helloved that Germany
would not surrender until she was de
feated, so they planned for that over
whelming dofcat during tho coming
summer. Germany, howover, conclud
ed that sho had enough before tho
full force of our war catapult struck
Tho Gorman general staff knew that
we wero building that great rnachlno
They had felt tho first blows at

ed that the American "rnob" knew

no defeat, gave no ground, but went on
In splto of losses of eight to one.
They know, too, thnt tho American
nnd British navies hod rendered tho
U-boat Impotent with American depth
bombs, strung In n bnrrngo twonty
miles wide across tho North Sen.
They saw tho Amerlcnn ships In
an almost endless stream bearing aer
ial armndns, flocks of tanks, battery
nfter battery of rifles, howitzers, and
mortars, gas nnd high explosive shells
by the million, rifles nnd mnchlno
guns with their nmmunltlon and men,
regiment nfter lcglment until there
seemed no end to tho khaki clad
fighters coming out of tho west. So
tho German showed his "yellow
streak."
And that "yellow strcnk" engender
ed by our preparations, saved thous
ands ot lives ot American boys nnd
millions ot Uvcb of tholr compatriots.
Had wo not mndo this vast prepara
tion our hoys would bo plowing ahead
through Flanders mud nnd French for
ests, paying with their life blood tho
prlco of tho world's freedom. Tho
preparation was made. Tho war is
over. Our boys for tho most part aro
returning to our firesides, safo and
sound.
r With tho Secretary of tho Treasury
wo should issuo our thanks to God
that our preparations mndo possible
their speedy return. With him wo
should prepare to pay off tho last of
our debts, Incurred in nmasslug the
war material which has made possible
their safo homecoming.
