"One of the chief purposes of the
campaign was to distribute the Liberty
Bonds widely throughout the country
and place them as far as possible in
the hands of the people. This was
important because the strength of
Government finance, like the strength
of Government policies, rests upon the
support Of the people. The large num-
Der of subscribers, especially the large
number of small subscribers, is most
gratifying and indicates that the inter
est of the people was aroused as never
before in an issue of bonds.
