measure when the European war clouds
began to hover over the United States.
The Indiana Senator la credited with
having opposed the establishment of a
national council of defense, the United
States Shipping Board, the bill to erect
a Government plant to manufacture ar
mor plate and the wire control act
On these measures Harding duplicated
Watson's vote.
Watson is also shown to have not voted
on the substitute resolution giving the
President power to requisition all ves
sels of alien enemies, while Harding op
posed the measure.
Watson and Harding’s votes on es
pionage measures show a remarkable rec
ord of Inconsistency.

the draft and Watson opposed the con
ference report on the tradlng-with-the
enemy act.
Watson failed to vote on a measure
giving all soldiers, sailors and marines
who are permanently helpless SIOO a
month, nor did he vote on an appropria
tion for the salaries of the vocational
rehabilitation board.
He opposed an amendment providing
that no civil service examination be re
quired of wives of soldiers or sailors ap
plying for positions under the Govern
ment'during the war while Harding
failed to vote.
The Indiana Senator also wa not
present when Senator Smoot male a mo

bill increasing the rate of pensions for
soldiers and sailors of the Civil War.
FINANCING WAR
GREAT CREDIT TO
ADMINISTRATION
(Continued From Page’One.)
was clearly our duty to appeal to the
whole citizenship.
■“The people had answered the call for
soldiers. Could there be syiy doubt that
they would respond with equal alacrity
to a call for their dollars?”
And so the loan was launched. Not
for one billion, as the cautious bankers
counseled, but for two billions; and not
at 4% per cent, but at 3V* per cent.
The result wns a striking vindication
of Mr. McAdoo’s judgment.
instead of 400 000 Investors, there were
over four Ynillion.
Instead of two billions. the amount
subscribed was $3.035,226 850.
But that is not the whole story.
The people responded to the appeal
of the Government, as Mr. McAdoo said
they would, but that appeal had to be
made in a way that would reach the peo
ple, and it had to be made in language
the people could understand.
It was for this purpose that the great
bond selling organization was launched.
“We had two million volunteers." said
Mr. McAdoo; “two men and
women and children, for the children
were no less interested and earnest in
their work than their elders.
"Our organization included the greatest
bankers and men of affairs, and It em
braced the boys and girls in the schools. 1
"Actors, ministers, editors, everybody
who could command public attention, con
tributed his services.
“I say' 'contributed’ advisedly, for
these volunteers served without one cent
of pay. Most of them, Indeed, would
•have been glad to pay for the opportu
nity—as they did in fact by their own
subscriptions—when they came to see
what it meant.
BROUGHT HOME TO
SMALL INVESTOR
“We are financing the war out of the
personal incomes of people who never be
fore had contributed directly to such an
end.
“We were selling bonds to people who
had never before seen a bond of the
United Btates Government, much less
owned one.
"Instead of bonds issued in large units,
SSOO and upward, as had been the cus
tom ip dealing with bankers, we put
out bonds of SIOO and SSO.
“We made it possible for practically
every self-supporting person to buy a
bond. And be it said to the everlasting
glory of the American people that they
did buy the bonds, each according to
his or her means. So enthusiastic. Indeed,
did the people become over this grout
patriotic enterprise that bankers and em
ployers entered into engagements with
their patrons and employes to carry the
bonds for them until they were paid
for in weekly installments.
"As successive issues were put out the
Government was urged to raise' the rate
of Interest.
“But we refused to be frightened by
an alleged scarcity of credits.
“The second Liberty loan, with only
partial tax exemption, was put out at
4Vi per cent to equalize the complete
exemption of the 3V£ per cent.
“But I announced that the rate wonld
not be raised during the war, and it was
not.
“The Victory loan put out after the
armistice when the people's minds were
turning to business again draws 4% pen.
cent, but rbe IJberty loans from the firtsT
to the fourth remained at 4Vi per cent.
"But it was necyssary to do something
more than to offer bonds for the people
to buy.
“The first loan was absorbed easily by
the money on hand.
“But. each succeeding load had to be

finance? with new funds. It was for this
purpose that we pressed the saving cam
paigns.
“Men told us that the people did not
and could not comprehend political econ
omy, and when It was presented to them
In their own modes of thought they
grasped It without trouble, and they
gave a generous response.
HOMELY STORY
REACHED MANY.
“In some speeches I used this illustra
tion :
“Let us consider Uncle Sam as a great
storekeeper.
“He has had to send some of his boys
across the ocean to set things to rights.
“These boys must bo supplied with
food and clothing and munitions of war.
It must all come out of Uncle Sam’s gen
eral store. We who are left at home
must not only put Into the store all we
can, but we must take out for our own
use as little as possible. Leather and
wool are scarce; there is not enough to
meet the demand. If we take out a pair
of shoes when we have the old pair half
soled to wear a little longer, we leave
one 7?air lfess for the boys overseas. If
we take out a- suit of clothes, instead of
having the old suit pitched, we leave one
suit less for the men In the trenches. I
said it was a badge of honor, therefore,
to wear half-soled shoes and half-soled
breeches. i
“The people caught the mcanngl of
tills simple Illustration.
“And they caught my point when 1
explained that It they wore old shoes
and the old clothes another season they
would have tho money that uerwtse
would have been spent.
“The mopey thus saved could be put
Into Liberty bonds to aid Uncle Sant
during his time of need, and provide
for a rainy day.
“Since it was necessary for the Gov
ernment to borrow money in order to
carry on the war, the habits of thrift
formed by a vast number of people be
cause of that necessity will prove of
lasting benefit to the Nation.
“Many persons make the mistnxe of
viewing the possibility at selling Lib
erty bonds to the people as a purely
business transaction. It wns not that;
it was a matter of patriotism. Twenty
five billion dollars of Liberty bonds cotild
not have been sold a* a purely business
proposition. Without the Impulse of pa
triotism this great financial achievement
would have been impossible >"
“The 400,000 Investors that the bank
ers knew wears business Investors.
“They bought bonds as they bought
goods, for what they could make out
of them. Treated as business the bonds
might have found only 400,000 Investors.
But treated as an act of patriotism each
succeeding issue of bonds found a wider
response.
The second Liberty bonds were taken
by 9,400,#V) persons, who oversubscribed
the issue by 54 per cent
Tho third Liberty loan found 18,376,816
subscribers, and the fourth Liberty loan
was taken by 22,777,680 subscribers.
EXPLODES ANOTHER
COMMON MISTAKE.
“Some people have made the mistake
of believing the Liberty bonds could
hare been kept at par if the rate of in
terest had been higher than 4% per cent;
if, for Instance, it had been 5 per cent
or 6 per cent; but they failed to take
account of the fact that no matter what
the rate of interest on Liberty bonds bad
been, the price would not have remained
at par so long as the Government was
continuing to issue great quantities of
bonds, and the amounts so issued wire
in excess of the demand, or, in other
wSrds, greater than the market could ab
sorb.
“Again, if the Government had Issued
Liberty bonds at 5 per cent or 6 per cent,
the rate of interest on every other line
of securities and on all credit transac
tions would hare been increased enor-

But unless the American voter has the

that both the ex-Secretary of the Treas

was a part, should receive credit for
what was done daring that great crisis.
It would have been a simple matter
to have kept taxes down, as most Eu
ropean countries did. Instead of paying
one-third of the Cost of the war as It was

It also would have beeen easy to Issue

As it Is, a third of the cost has al
