The Safest Security.

The United States offers YOU an
opportunity to invest in the safest
security in the world, and will pay
YOU A per cent interest on your mon
ey.
The estimated wealth of the United
States is about $50 billion dollars. Our
national debt was little more than
one billion dollars before the break
with Germany. Addin gto this the
two billion dollars borrowed in the
first Liberty loan gives total ma
tonal debt of little. over l per cent
of the total wealth of the country
The yearly incomes in the United
States are estimated at about forty
billion dollars, or thirteen times the
total nation debt Including the first
Liberty loan) and about 400 tines the
annual interest charges on our total
debt
If man should come to you and
want you to lend him $1,000, and you
knew he owned property worth $780,
900; if you knew that his yearly in
come was S13 900, and he gave you
his note, would you lend him the
$1,000?
Will you lend your money to the
United States on such basis?

WHAT THE WAR LOAN MEANS

The money raised by the LIBERTY
LOAN is to be spent in this country
The money they borrow abroad can
serve only to pay for goods and ser
the money the borrow from us, they
would be under the nececcity of send
ing it back again. And as matters
stand, the principal source Of goods
and service in United States. -.
The farmer is expected to subscribe
and the Government in turn expects
to buy heavily of the products of the
farm.
Capitalists and laborers in the tex
tile and the leather industries are ex-
pected to subscribe to the loan, and
much Of the loan will be expended on
army uniform, tent cloth, shoes and
harness.
Financing the war means turning
over to the Government food and ser
vices in exchange for the Govern
ment's promise to pay: Not the rich.
alone, but the poor as well, not the
centers of trade alone, but the regions
of primary production as we'll, are I'M
der obligation to help finance the war.
When man Of small insome uses
some part Of it to subscribe to the
loan, his contribution to the national
power is immediate.
When q rich man invests of his in
come in the loan the result is less di-
rect. He refrains from buying paint
ings and statuary, he builds less ex-
pensively, entertains less lavishly. All
this releases few products for use in
war. But the purchasing power he
places at the Government disposition
represents an additional demand for
labor in the production of war goods.
Rich and poor alike must serve the
loan, if the Government is to have at
its command the goods and services
required to win the war. !
Rockefeller may own a billion dol
lars worth of property but with the
best of will he could not contribute
billion to the war loan. Suppose that
he sold all he has, to put the proceeds
into the loan. The sale would have
absorbed other persons purchasing
power to the extent of billion dollars
and these other persons would have
been placed in a position in which they.
could not subscribe to the loan. Rock
efeller can put into the loan no more
than his annual income-or so much
as is not required for indispensable
capital extensions.
What this means is that the war is
to be financed, not out of the national
capital Of 100000, ,O0O,O 100000. the
greater part Of which may be held by
the minority, but out of the national
income of $40 100000, 100000 the great
er part of which is received by the
majority. After all, not more than
ten billions of our national incomes
goes to families having above twenty
five hundred year or more.
