Speakers Are Needed to Explain
Purchase of Liberty Loan Bonds
Committee Named by District Bankers Issues Appeal
and Urges Buying by All Citizens.

Much space has been given in the
columns of the daily press regarding
the efforts, successful to a very large
degree, Of the liberty loan committee
appointed by the District Bankers AS
sociation to further the sale in Wash
ington Of the Districts share of the
first issue of liberty bonds.
1t is known very generally that the
banks and bankers of the city have
placed their facilities and themselves
behind the loan; have opened the way
for easy payments. SO that for the first
time in the history of the United States
government it's citizens can buy the
obligations of the government on
monthly payments, the same as lurni-
ture, automobiles or other needed COM
modities.
When one man makes six talks in one
evening for the love of the cause he
may be given much credit, but where
a few men are doing their bit there
should be many to relieve the strain OF
the willing.
An urgent appeal for speakers has
come from the bond committee, ana
with it an official statement from the
secretary of the committee. Eugene f.
Thompson. setting forth the work OF
the committee and giving some data
as to the bond loan, has been sent out
for publication, to which The Evening
Star gladly gives publicity.
The statement follows:

There were many applicants for in

garding registration and conscription.
Among the callers were many women,
who called to seek information about
the possibilities Of their sons, husbands
or children being called into tho serv-
ice.

Secured by Everything.

81 have been asked by several people as
to what is the security for government
bond. and think that the best answer to
that question is that Everything you can
see in the United States is security for its
bonds Another question frequently
asked is. why are the bonds being SO
extensively advertised, and in reply 1
may say that the liberty loan Is to be
a popular loan by the people and for
the peopIe-both present and future
and not alone for banking and other
institutions who must maintain their
present financial status to enable our
industries to continue their operations.
Subscribers who borrow from financial
institutions to buy a bond should repay
the amount borrowed in monthly in
stallments, SO as to aid the banks to
maintain their loaning facilities, and
above all, it is hoped that holders of
the securities of our corporations will
not sell them for the purpose of sub
scribing to government bonds, as this
really means some one must pay out
the funds for the proceeds of the sale.
Start now. let us be thrifty and
through our economies the liberty
bonds can be paid for and there will be
no hardship on any one.

urday may be perfected this week.
II will 60 to the house today and that
body is expected TO vote non-concur.
renee on q number of points that diff
fer from the bill which passed the
house. It is expected that a confer.
enee committee viii then be appointed
and will hold its first meeting Tues
day.
The main points of difference in the
two bills are the prohibition clauses
a board of control instead of a single
controller and the inclusion Of some
commodities other than foods. On the
prohibition clause il is expected that
agreement win be reached along lines
the same or practically the same al
the provisions in the senate bill On
other commodities than food Il is ex
pected that agreement win not be diff
fienlt but there is apt to be trouble in
reaching decision as to whether a
board or single head should control
The house bill provided for a single
head but on this point the senate balk
ed and refused to put the great powers
granted in the bill in the hands Of
one man. The final Compromise in tho
upper house was a control boad Of three
members. The house is expected Il
stand for Hoover alone,
II is quite possible that another
