Bonar Law Says Vast Resources

Omitted p ass star Corresponding.
LONDON, y March pa. Bonar Law,
Chancellor OF the Exchequer. has
given the United Press the recipe for
raising five billion dollars-under GER
tain given circumstances. Only one in
gredient is necessary, he said, in eff
feet, and that is patriotism, but st is
well TO have It stirred by German
lrightfulness.
The approximation OF German
frightfulness," he said made the sue
cess OF the victory war loan certain"
just as Zeppelin attacks on London
started the first great rush to the col
ors, the German promise OF undersea
frightfulness accentuated the greatest
rush to the pocketbook any country
ever saw. So in giving the people OF
Great Britain most of the credit for
their great financial effort. the Chan
cellor insists that some credit be al.
lOtted to the prOmulgators OF the
frightfulness campaign Asked why he
had confidently undertaken to raise
the desired money with a promise Of
a little more than five per cent. inter
est when LOndon's greatest financiers
had declared II would be necessary to
pay six per cent, he said.
THE bankers, as was natural. look
ed at IL as a financial problem ]
looked at It as a fighting problem. a
war problem. I considered what the
people would do as a matter OF patriot.
ism, not as a matter Of finances. Once
they were made to see the fighting
possibilities of the money we asked,
was sure they would not look twice
at the question OF interest. Events
proved that TO be the case"
He could have added that the differ.
ence In interest saved the Empire
more than 100000 900 year
There were good reasons for not
allowing the interest rate TO exceed
hve per cent" he continued. Through
the necessity Of keeping up our OK
changes. the value OF all money on the
London market has long been higher
than 10 otherwise would have been
Exchequer bonds bearing 6 per cent
and treasury bills at 10 were Issued
up to the very day before the issue
of the loans. 10 was because OF this
high level OF money that many hnan-
cial men most competent TO Judge
warned me that the loan could not sue
coed at less than six per cent.
1T seemed to me. as Chancellor Of
the Exchequer that to stereotype
British credit at a high figure like six
per cent would be a serious misfor-
tune It would be better even to risk
a comparative failure OF the loan. As
a matter of fact however. really did
not anticipate a failure In any degree.

country.
And in my belief the success OF the
loan should not be measured in the
amount raised. but in the number Of
persons who participated Eight mil
lion people have part in this loan"
Addressing FIVE big meetings in
various parts Of the country, he said
he was astonished at the enthusiasm
shown.
Il never had seen anything like e.,
not at the most enthusiastic party
meetings" he declared. This spirit Of
the people had the greatest effect on
people OF means. The spontaneity with
which the poor people gave their 1T
tie would have made IL impossible for
the wealthy to withhold the needed
big contributions, even II they had
been so minded"
A search through London newspa-
per "morgues" had revealed that his
biographers unanimously agreed that
Law never had coined an epigram
Yet he was the author Of the appeal:
Are you going 10 give your sons and
not your money!" What Mr.. Wilson
Is longing for. we are fighting for q"
1T is impossible for German nature to
understand human nature" All In this
loan campaign. How about IT." he
was asked.
"Well, perhaps the war has changed
me / sometimes think It has changed
all England"
Despite the naturally high import
ance which he attaches to the fnan-
cial side OF the war, the Chancellor is
not convinced that 10 necessarily Is
the controlling factor.
"The Allies, 1t goes without saying
have greater financial resources than
the central powers" he observed
But as long as a country has credit
IL can fight. Germany's resources, fin
ancial and otherwise, are practically
confined within her own borders. But
there Is no evidence that Germany has
lost or IS likely soon TO lose her credit
with her own people. Her other re-
sources may give way sooner Austria
IS less able to support herself alone,
but even Austria is country Of great
productivity. Turkey and Bulgaria, Of
course, are being supported by the
other two.
"lf # becomes solely a question OF
staying power-ilnanclal and indus
trial staying power-the allies victory
Is certain. We have the resources.
"IIas the effect OF Americas posi-
BILE entry been considered?
Americas resources are greater
than those Of any OF the allies, but II
is outside the province of a member
of the English Government to discuss
Americas possible action We have
steadily refrained from doing so. But
If II becomes a question of staying
power. II is obvious American resour-
ces cauld make all the difference in
the world"
