Welcomed by great
throng of citizens who crowded the
union depot TO greet him, Secretary
OF the Treasury William G. McAdoo ar
rived in Denver Tuesday afternoon on
his epoch-making Buy-a-War-Bond trip
through the West With Mr. McAdoo

Denver business men who met him at
Limon and accompanied him into Den
YER The secretary was roundly cheered
as he was conducted to the Auditori-
UNI, where he spoke, exhorting every
man and woman TO buy Liberty Loan
bond and stand behind the President
and the nation.
Our brave European allies have
been fighting nearly three years for a
cause that is as much ours as theirs
said the secretary. In making this
fight they have employed all of the
men and credit at their command
They have built up the most wonder
full fighting machines that the world
has ever known and in these nations
food production has suffered at the
expense of greater military efficiency.
Now that the United States has
taken its place among the nations
fighting for democracy, 1t is up to us
to render the quickest aid that can
be provided Our allies already have
their armies in the field, and our frs:
opportunity to aid them is to supply
them with the wherewithal to buy
iood and supplies.
Wars cannot be conducted without
money. 1t is the first thing to be
provided. In this war it is the most
important help-the most effective
help-we can give them. We not only
must finance the need1 of our own
government. but we must help the al
lied governments making common
cause with us against Germany and
r.aking common cause with us in our
effort to establish liberty throughout
tie world"
