MR, N'ADOO'5 STATEMENT
 ON TIE LIBERTY JOAN

be q :ilisl2cd and scarcely felt Good fortune has for many years favored uss and Wc have grown healthy, wealthy, and fat Ne must not get too rat, " hoiesome taxation for q noble purpose s the best antidote for the 'iatty degeneration with which we have been long threatened as a na- tion.
 ITO do oig things in big way has always appealed to the imagination Of the American people, and to do big thing in big way for a noble ideal make an irresistible appeal to the Amer ican people Ii every man and woman in the United States gets back of this Liberty Loan. puts the fire of energy and pat1iCtiSm into the work. the first S2,GdG, ,0eo, a00 installment of this loan will be oVersubscribed. Bur the loan will not succeed through it's own momentum We must all work With patriotic fervor. Those who are abte 70 buy bond, q" bonds should subscribe proTaptly; those who are not able to do so should get some one who is able to ouy a bond to do so. It should be remembered that every subscription, however small, is help ful to the government and an honor to the subscriber
 Twofold Benefit
 Loans tC our allies in Europe at this time constitute a twofold benefit to our own country. They enable Us to give vital lid Immediately in pros ecuting the war in which the whole world is concerned, by furnishing the soldiers and the artillery of our allies on the hattleeronts in Europe with tho munitions that make them most efficient fighting units; and, secondly, v Lya for ind tries busy producing the things that are needed for our allies ana thus stimulate essential producllon in the country, while at the same time they make us more Efficient in the war preparations we must undertake for ourselves and in supplying or" owE armies, which must immediately go into training in the United States. We haze already made initial ad- vanees of money to England. France,
 and Italy aggregGting S50G, ,000, ,000. We shall undoubtedly extend aid to the new Republic Cf Russia. as well as to stricken Belgium
 We are in fact, q base of material i and supplies fol all the nations of Europe, and the credits We are ex- tending to them can be expended by them with the greatest advantage in ! this country
 Allies Will Spend Money Here
 We do not, of course, impose upon our allies any obligetion to spend the money we lend them upon supplies here but it is to their interest to do so, as it is to our interest to help them dc s) on the most advantage Ous terms. This IS our war as much as their war, and We must make every dollar We iend them tell up on the battlefront in Europe with the utmost { effect. After this war is over the fact { that we have rendered material and financial aid and that the blood Of 1 nur sons is intelmingled with the blood of Aeir sons upon the battle i fields will create iHdissoluble ties of friendship and make the allied na- i tions at impregneable force of lso- l erty.
 These bond issues ought to have l this wholesome effect upon our gen. ! eral economic situation, provided, that Tt chc same time. taxation IS applied
 Wisely and vigorously to provide a large part Of the cost of the war. AS : l said before, most If the money in- , vested by our people in these bonds will not be inactive behind the walls of a foreish country. Most Of t vii; ! he used in this country in our own i preparation for war and will be rap ! IuuIy put DECK lHeO StIt4Ii sN4INtldlioil ! through the purchase Of supplies for our allies and for our own govern Ynent. If the situation is handled in ] telligentiy these operations should not prove hurtful-they should be help 1 full"
 Bonds Will HeIp End the War
 Let us, each and every one of us,
 sec t. it that we invest some part of l our means in this great Liberty Loan. ] If we can't buy $50 rond at once,
 let Us buy it in miscellaneous. ProvI- ] sion will be made for the sale Of ! these bonds ii insiallments. Let us lay now a secure financial foundation for every need of the government in carrying on ttis great war for human
 freedom and progressive civilization.
 The more quickly we supply the ade-
 quate means M defeating the enemy
 anG restoring peace the greater the i service we render to humanity, be- i cause the shorter the war the more
 human life we save and the less hu-
