The safekeeping Of Small Bonds.


The safekeeping Of Small Bonds.
Holders Of small denomination liberty
bonds are not justified in selling them
because OF the dimeulty Of keeping them
in safety. It Is true that the $50 bonds
cannot be registered and, therefore, are
the same as cash. so that IL one is lost
or stolen the rfghtful owner has no pro-
lection. But there are certainly ways
OF safeguarding them without going to
the expense of hiring individual boxes
In safe deposit vaults. which would cost
In some cases more than the interest on
the bonds. They. are no less secure than
5ewelry, watches or other articles of
value. They can be kept in strong
boxes. which may be purchased for
small sums. They may be intrusted to
the custody of friends who have safes.
Groups Of bondholders can pool their
interests and hire safe deposit boxes,
thus reducing the cost on each. Per-
sonal care Of the small bond that can
not be registered is as necessary as care
Of any other valuable possessions. The
buyer Of the bond must assume that
risk when subscribing. There is no
greater risk in the case Of a bond than
in the buying Of any other compact
commodity. and the chance of loss
surely does not Justify any one in SELL
ing the bond to be relieved of the re-
sponsibility. If patriotism is the motive
for buying the bond in the first place.
1t should suffice to keep the bond after
ward. For every bond sold by an
original purchaser. especially at dis
count, is a transaction in competition
with the government.

the proposed war finance oorporatioa
bill.
"It IL our duty to the nation to re-
strict the use OF capital to war uses"
Secretary MeAdoo said. 'nThe power
OF license which is given In the bin.
over the issue Of securities, is not in
tended TO be an arbitrary power. 1t IL
not to prevent the use Of capital, but
rather TO give preference In the use
OF capital to war industries"
THE intent 10 to put q restraining
Influence on unnecessary expenditures
OF capital by private interests" Secre-
tary McAdoo said. He declared there
was no intention Of restricting the
issue OF securities by municipalities
and States.
'The supreme need OF the nation Is
to marshal its financial resources to
aid the Government in carrying on
the war;" Secretary. McAdoo declar-
ed. "and the rights OF every one must
be subjugated to this supreme need"
