The Liberty Bond
AS An Investment

Last week we considered bond
investments from the standpoin,
of the necessity of the times, re.
quisite in the protection Of our
homes and the government in
which we live-that democracy
and freedom should not perish
from the earth.
That was the first considera.
tion of the bond problem as an
insurance proposition, the which
we wish to continue this week by
making some comparisons-as tc
similarities and differences.
The similarity is that in both
cases you are taking out insur.
ance against certain pos sible con.
tingencies that would adversely
affect your temporal affairs.
As az instance, the money you
invest in bonds is the premium
you pay for the protection Of
your homeland all other homes
in the United States, and thu
government itself, against all
possible contingencies of Hun in.
vasion and depredations mention:
ed last week as what might fol-
low, and probably would follow
as result of the defeat of the
allies in Europe.
There are several ditferencies.
One is, that in the case of tie
bond premium, the money is paid
to prevent the catastrophy fear
ed, while in commercial insur-
ances the premium is paid for the
remuneration of the loss incur
red, the event of which is impos
sible of prevention.
Another is, that in the case of
the bond premium, if the thing
feared as a possible catastrophy

don't believe the unquenchables
