That has been his po-

ing to avoid it. That has been his 20
sitlon all along.
However the fact that the conference
was not pulled OF yesterday as schedul-
ed probably means that it will be held
within the next few days It is evident
from what has been made public, that

and the only questions involved in the
arrangements arc the date for opening
the session and the scope Of the legis-
lation TO be consIuered.
Lieut. Governor Bush viii preside over

Scraps the old System.

The new arrangement renders value
less the system developed by the Lib
erty Loan organization after weeks or
work TO gather from each city. town and
county at the close of the days solicit
ing an estimate of subscriptions gather
ed that day Those estimates were to
have been collected by the publicity or
ganfzations in each federal reserve dis
trict and teiegraphed to Washington to
be made public here the following day.
During the second loan campaign
these unofficial estimates We're made
public daily. together with official re-
ports Of federal reserve banks. and the
aggregate official figures ordinarily were
about tvvo-thirds of the estimates. This
ratio continued 90 the last day Of the
campaign. but d week after the period
closed final Official figures as announced
We're Approximately the same as the
earlier estimates.
II official reports are made at the
same rate this time the treasury's an
nouncemonts will be from five to ten
days later than the days work they rep
resent.
Danger of Duplication.
Officials explained that the danger Of
duplication. or watering" in estimates
even If carefully made. arises from the
fact that campaign workers report sub
scriptions which may be made payable
through a bank This bank in turn sub
scribes a lump sum to cover all the sub
scriptions it handles. Thus pledge
might be counted twice ana the aggre-
gate OF these Implications might result
in misleading showing.
For the nation to believe that its loan
subscriptions were far above what they
actually totaled would have elements Of
positive danger to the loans success.
according to Secretary McAdoo and 9TH
r officials who advocated the new pro-
cedure
Newspapers which heard during tho
day Of the plans for suppressing esti-
mates protested 80 the Liberty Loan or
sanitation. arguing that the estimates
during the second loan were admitted To
have been substantially accurate They
suggested that. psychologicalIy. the
campaign propaganda needed prompt re-
porting of figures as well as accuracy.
These protests were met with the state
ment that official reports from federal
reserve banks probably would be has
tened 1nder the new procedure.
