One great force making for an
active public opinion in favor of aft

guidance and placement for women
is the action taken by large organ
izations of women in support of the
United States Employment Service.
The Council of National Defense,
represented by over 1900 local or

field division, which directs all state
work, has written

THE FIFTH LIBERTY LOAN

Charles H. Sehweppe, federal re-
serve director Of the Seventh dis

cago. has issued the following state
ment regarding the Fifth Liberty
loan, which viii be fioated in the
spring. Mr.. Schweppe judging the
matter in the light of very wide expe-
rienee in the investment affairs, and
as a Liberty loan executive in pre-
vious successful campaigns, believes
that the fifth loan will be ioated
without difficulty II tn. public cal
be made 70 understand that the gov
eminent must have large amounts of
money to pay the victory bills. bring
the conquering American troops, and
clean up the tremendous job of saw
ing freedom for the world. The of
fetal statement follows:
''The next loan, which think will
be the last, should be called the
Fifth Liberty loan, as the advertis-
ing value of the term Liberty loan is
great and should not be discarded.
/ feel an intensive campaign in the
spring will bring better results in
the Seventh federal reserve district
than selling bonds over the counter.
In the Seventh district We will
probably use the same organization
as before, and / think we can count
on each and every Liberty loan work
er to help out. When the Fourth Lib
erty loan campaign was over it was
not right for US to feel that our jobs
were over. The governor of our
federal reserve bank has sent out
word that he wished US to continue
in Office.
Il doubt if the Fifth Liberty loan
will be as hard to place as some an
ticipate. The money viii be used
to finance the task of bringing our
men home from France and TO pay
war bills, and l cannot believe that
there is a single representative of
the Liberty loan organization in the
Seventh district who viii not be ready
to do his or her full share.
"As to the kind of bond that may
be issued. feel a short term bond,
say five years, at a high rate of in
terest, exempt only from the normal
income tax, would be more attractive
than one with a lower rate of inter
est exempt from all federal taxes.
Such bond would nave more appeal
and should be more popular.
Il do not advocate having the
banks throughout the country under

I am confident that the method used
in the previous campaigns can again
be used, provided the Treasury de-
partment puts out a bond with at
tractive investment features.

STEEL NEWS
JOLTS MARKET
Government Control Ter
inmates December 81,
Causing Declines.

New York, Dec. 1l.-Stocks were al
most buoyant today and new high
prices fors the movement had been
made in several issues when an
nouncement came from Washington
that a 81 reduction in steel prices had
been ordered and that government
control would terminate on December
81. This made it impossible for the
optimistic plan Of the steel producers,
which provided gradual reduction in
prices to be put into effect. The Sher-
man law forbids any such combination
of private individuals as would be
necessary.
Thus the hope of business men that
the Sherman law had perished proves
vain. 1t was this. realization as much
as anything else that started selling in
the stock market and caused a scaling
down of prices running from l to )
per cent.
Early advances had been so great
that even after the declines many net
gains were left. These gains were
particularly noticeable in the petro-
leum issues. In some specialties, such
as, for instance, Cotton Oil, Sumatra
preferred, Tobacco Products preferred
and American Ice, prices were ad-
there was a special reason.
Liberty bonds are a center of ac-
tivity again, with a declining tendency
after early strength.
Cotton broke from "a to 1l5 points on
announcement OF a government crop
estimate better than the trade had ex-
pected.
A committee was announced to study
the problem of liberty bond prices.
There are several reasons for this de
cline that ought to be stated. but
which cannot be stated at a time
when public sentiment is liable to be
supeTheated because of the war.
/ There are so many holy hypocrites
in the financial world that one takes
chance these days in discussing eco
nomic problems in plain language. But
if the investigating committee will
look back over the history of govern
ment bonds one feature of this discus
sion will be made unnecessary.
Then IL the committee will read the
ruling of the money committee which
fOrbids the public buying stocks free
ly. but permits underwriting syndi-
Gates to borrow all the money wanted
on stock camouflaged as bonds and
notes, it will have more light on the
selling Of liberty bonds.
Liberty bonds are absolutely safe as
/ to principal and interest and always
will be. but other things are as safe
| now that the war is won.

Because the influx OF Christmas mail
is already showing the effects OF poor
wrapping and poor materials. the post
office authorities urge that particular
pains be taken to wrap the packages
securely as possible before they are
dropped in the mail box. Great care
should be taken to write the name Of
the addressee in ink and very dis
tinctly.
That WashinEtonians are mailing

Furthermore, 1t Is his opinion that

some of the other leaders of industry

been strongly advocated by the Baron
