Decided on to Help Put
the City Over

The New York Federal Reserve Dis
tricte yesterday again failed to leap up
from the slough of undersubscription.
The increase yesterday for the twenty
first day of the Liberty Loan campaign
was inadequate even to help bring the
district up to its minimum mark of
5000, 100000.
With Americas third great drive for
the dollars of Liberty closing Satur-
day, the Second Federal Reserve Dis
trict remains in next to last place
among the twelve districts. New York
and the rest of the district, moreover,
have subscribed S420 100000 less than
in the corresponding period of the
financial offensive last October.
The gain in this district for the
twenty-frst day of the campaign,
which was Tuesday. was only SAL
934.1OO, against $139,523,35O for the
equivalent day of the second loan
canfpaign. This accretion brings-up
the grand total to $633,956,800. At
the rate necessary for the attainment
of the $l,500,000,000 goal S1,260,000,-
900 should have been raised in this Pc
riod, and at the pace needed to pro-
duce the official quota of S900,000,000
56,000,000 ought to be the present
aggregate.
Expressed in mathematical terms,
New York's minimum task is to raise
S66510,S00 daily in the final days of
the drive. This will bring the total
merely up TO the minimum mark. The
district will have to pledge $216,500, 900
daily to reach the maximum goal
which it has set for itself.
In order to achieve either of it's tar
gets the district will have to adopt the
new national loan slogan, "Buy another
bond" the campaign workers here de-
cided. Opinion seemed to be virtually
unanimous yesterday that New York
of the loan, who have already sub
scribed, buy again. Therefore, the di-
rectors of the drive urged that every
one ask himself whether it will not
be possible to take at least one addi-
tional $50 bond to save the district
from the ignominy of doing less than
its full share.
Although the national tabulation for
twenty-one days of the campaign is
still behind the maximum hopes of the
loan workers, the situation for the
country as whole is far more favor
able than in this district. The acgre-
gate, is $2,579,079,4 400, which ds
the quota schedule by SIS, 900. The
increase for the last day reported was
$122,0O0,00O.
