main channels:
Attempts to discourage prospective
buyers of Liberty bonds.
If--ts to prevent certain banks from
lending the bonds.
The publication. in certain news
papers and other mediums of public

while not directly opposing loan sub
scriptions, tend to discourage buyers.
The prevention. so far as local and
sporadic efforts can prevent o. the
placing Of Liberty Loan posters and
advertising literature where it will be
most beneficial.
Attempts to discourage buyers by
the personal plea method have been
confined mostly to the East. Instances
have been brought to the attention Of
officials whose buyers have been ap-

great friendship. and advised not 10

the great centers OF trade in western

Of the sixteenth century an inquiry
was held by direction OF the lord
