This is the message which Secrecy
q the Treasury McAdOo bc.e .J t@e
people OF the Sixth Federal x We
DIs lrict in his tour of the district .ast
week in the interest Of the thru Lilo
Crty Bond campaign.
Speaking before thousands Of people
in six cities of the Southeast, jao &c
ra,ary was cheered 70 the echo tE us
immense audiences, as he told @. $50
needs OF the government, the char Z
Of the bonds, and made a stirring lee
for every man, woman and caua III
the district to get into this wan "aich
Is now being waged for their Liberties
i only by the purchase OF the smallest
lond.
Mr. McAdoo made il plain that with
cut the aid of the farmers Of the
South, Of the merchants and PROBES
sional men and all the laboring classes
the third loan wCuIl be failure
which would be worse than German
defeat.
THE banks must perform their nee
essary functions and keep their FUNDS
In liquid form to supply credits to the
industries engaged in the manufacture
of munitions Of war and in carrying
on the general business Of the country
and we must not take all the funds ou'
Of these banks" he continued.
Want Twenty Million Buyers
do you know it would be a mos
impressive thing if we could say to
the Kaiser that not 100000 Ameri
can citizens, as in the last loan, hac
subscribed, but that this issue was
taken by fifteen or twenty million Of
American citizens!"
In his speech, which rang from one
end of the district to the other, the
head Of the treasury traced the pari
which America has played In her one
year Of war; how she was forced into
the struggle against her wish, and
only took up arms after all her sacred
rights had been contravened by the
unprincipled Hun He told how the
American flag was ordered of the high
seas by Berlin, and how the only Amer
lean ships that we're allowed to sal
would have had to be painted like a
barber pole in order to escape the tor
pedoes of the submarines.
In defense OF freedom and the
worlds liberty, America has in ono
short year marshalled her resources t.
a wonderful extent, and now at this
great crisis, when the supreme strug
giles are being waged in Picardy and
our allies are crying for more mer
and supplies, IL is our problem &c
mobilize Americas might for the bat
tlefeld as quickly and effectively as
possible. The only way this can be
done Is through the Liberty Loan
through the subscriptions which mus
come from the rank and nle OF the
people OF America
Appealed to Women.
Mr.. McAdoo spoke of the fine work
that is being done by the women Of
the nation, and urged them on &c
greater efforts. He stressed the abso
lutte necessity for saving. both food
and materials of clothing. that oul
armies may be fed and our allies sup
piled. He insisted that the people OF
this country must learn to sacrifice IN
order that the war may be won.
I'VE mus realize that we are really
In this wal, and that war does mean
sacrifice the secretary emphasized
1--WE must learn in the second veal
of the war that we must not indulge
ourselves to the extent that we have
il: the past. We must purify our souls
and fortify our souls for this great
and mighty contest which is now pro
ceeding upon the battlefelds of Pl
cardy. And the extent TO which We dc
that is the extent to which we are go
Ing to help ourselves.
81 have been told by some people
that the rate OF interest on Liberty
Bonds is too low, and, therefore, we
could not rely upon the patriotism Of
the American people to buy these
bonds | have been urged to make
the rate Of interest higher than il il
today, in order that the bonds might
sell more readily. / do not believe
my friends, that il Is necessary tc
raise the rate OF interest on the bonds
In order to sell them | do not believe
that the patriotism of America is ex
pressed in the rate of interest on
Government Bond. | do not believe
that the American dollar is a fugitive
and must be chased by high rates OF
interest when the governments credit
is back OF them
IL want to tell you, fellowcitiZens
because this is your problem, as vel
as mine, that il we do not all take
an intelligent stand now in favor OF
keeping the rate of interest on gov
eminent bonds stabilized at "A pei
annum, unless we are willing to make
a fight TO preserve the Government
credit upon tina basis, then il Is go
ing to be the most unfortunate thing
that can possibly happen to the Amer
lean people We have got to make Il
clear to every man, 10 every woman
and to every child who buys govern
ment bond, that while il may be true
that they could invest their money in
something else that would pay large'
return, they can invest their money
in nothing else that is so fun OF blood
and necessity as United States Gov
eminent Bond n we do the wrong
thing az this time. il comes back tc
