LIBERTY BOND DROP
SERIOUS, SAYS M'ADOO
Tells House Committee Some
thing Must Be Done to
Stabilize Prices
WASHINGTON. March I.

one OF the most serious financial
questions before the nation today Is
the problem OF stabilizing Liberty Bonds,
Secretary Of the Treasury McAdoo in
dicated to the House Ways and Means
Committee in hearings made public to-
day. The bonds had dropped to 96 on
tho stock market. he said, and increas-
ing interest rates held no remedy.
"It Is like going around in a circle
to have to face increased rates on Sue
ccssive issues while the prices of pre-
vious issue are droppins in the market"
the Secretary said. "The British have
tried the system of setting aside | per
cent Of each issue to buy bonds offered
In the open market, but that has not
been effective.
"If the Government should offer to
buy all bonds offered, 1t makes the loan
nothing more than a demand obligation
The Government cannot afford to take
such n position. Setting aside 800, ,000,-
900 TO buy back bonds at par would
simply be an invitation to sell and the
fund would soon be exhausted"
The decline of tho bonds was due,
Mr. McAdoo explained, to wide va
ricty of causes. In a small measure II
was duo to disloyalsts,' who have at
tempted to hurt the Government credit.
Small bondholders have been forced to
sell because they needed money and
merchants have taken bonds in exchange
| for merchandise with the expectation
of cashng them
| The war finance corporation bill will
do much toward stabilizing the bonds
McAdoo believed, for It will give the
corporation power to buy and resell
Government bonds in cases OF emer
! gpnCN.

period would elapse the worlds series
would be over"
The question Of playing double headers
from now on was discussed at local
headquarters yesterday. There no doubt
Will be an abundance OF double headers
from now on.
Such things must be handled with
the greatest care" said Secretary Heyd-
Ter Of the National League. I'VE must
be careful that the races will not develop
into a Jest"
1t was the general impression among
local magnates last night that the respite
granted by Secretary Baker would take
the strain of the players and that they
would now stick with their teams until
the end of the season. Most players are
making demands on their clubs that
their salaries be paid them in full.
In the case of the players of the New
York clubs, who are signed by the
year. they in all probability will be
paid in full. but In the case Of such play
ers who signed the new monthly con-
tracts sent out by the National League
last year 1t Is a question whether they
will get their pay for September.
The wording OF Secretary Bakers
order makes certain the fact that there
will be no professional baseball next
season unless the war should end be-
fore next spring.
