LIBERTY LOAN

Secretary McAdoo officially corrects
. statement appearing in various
newspapers that the Fourth Liberty
Loan will bear interest ut the rate Of
az per cent. He states that no thot
has been entertained Of issuing the
bonds of the fourth loan ut . higher
rate than 4k per cent.
Il IL interesting to recall here the
Secretary's appeal in his, Third Lib
erty Loan speeches that the rate Of
interest for Government loans be
stabilized at AZ per cent. He said
then that rs an intelligent people we
should make . stand for the financing
of our Government during the period
Of the war at stabilized rate Of in
terest, naming AZ per cent as the
proper figure, 70 that al business and
Investments might be adjusted on that
basis. In his letter to Majority Lead
er Kitchin he strongly urges stabiliz-
ing the rate at AZ per cent.
The Secretary Of the Treasury has
also asserted he did not think that
the patriotism Of the Aperican people
was measured by the rate Of interest
on Q Government bond, and the sup
port the people gave the Third Lib
erty Loan seems to have justifed his
belief.
