Richardson has appointed Mr.. George

wealtss's Attorney, and he declares
that he Will run for the permanent

what the committee does. Another

LOAN ON CREDIT.

This paper will he considerably sur
prised II American business men ac-
cept the proposal made by the allied
financiers for a war loan of billion
dollars without collateral. The pro-
posal is simply that we lend them the
money on their promise to pay. They
call it loan secured by government
bonds. but the bonds are merely a
sort OF /. 0. U. No security is offered,
no collateral pledged
Time might have been when these
countries might have made such a
proposal with reasonable hope that it
might be taken up. At present
1t does not appear evident just why
this country should go out of its way
to take UP a loan of less desira BILE
character when all sorts of loans OF
the very best variety can already be
secured, and at the close of the war
America will be the greatest market
for capital the world has ever seen.
Such a loan at this time would serious
ly cripple the lending ability of the
country, and is not of nature so de-
sirable or profitable as to make it
worth the cost.
Besides this. there is serious doubt
If a loan on the basis of government
bonds would not be very grave
breach of our neutrality.
1t is stated that the billion dollars
OF the loan will all be spent In Amer
lea. This sounds good on the sur
face, but i'm reality this amount has
already been spent in America, and
this loan is desired to pay the obllga.
tons incurred In reality, therefore,
we are merely asked to lend the allies
enough money to pay us what taey
already owe us. And even IL the bill
lien were to represent new business.
there lis no reason why We should
make special sacrifices to have 1t
spent here. for there is no other place
to spend it. This Is the only place
mat can offer for sale the things rnat
are wanted at this time. why should
this country make any sacrifices for
something It will get anyhow?
If the financiers accept this unse-
cured loan 1t will be nothing more
nor less than floating an ordinary
bond Issue for these governments
whic'a they admit they cannot float al
home. We are all from Missouri this
! time.
