The truth is that these bonds were purchased IS

The Governments conservation program makes it
necessary to suspend the beverage business of the An

operate with the Government in making it's program
effective and to comply with every request and sug-
gestion of the Government to the end that German
armies may be more quickly defeated and German
autocracy overthrown-to the end that an enduring
peace may be established that will insure justice and
protection to all nations and all peoples and make fu

The bonds were sold by the same institutions that
sold French English Italian and other war bonds They
were sold at "a cents the dollar and recommended
by fnancers as good investments, paying return of
nearly 7 per cent.
Some professional agitators have undertaken to
make it appear that Mr.. Busch bought the German
bonds to aid Germany in making war on the United
States When these bonds sold it was publicly
nounced that the funds to be used to establish COM

The fact that this transaction In October 1916 and
that the United States did not declare Germany until
