LARGE CITIES
BEHIND SMALLER
IN LOAN DRIVE
Difficulties of Los Angeles and San
Francisco in Raising Their Quotas
Are Told in a Manifesto by South
ern California Liberty Loan Com
mittee

Inspiring as are the reports of GER
tain communities oversubscribing their
Liberty Loan allotments. on the open
ing day of the drive, these results
should not be confused with the stu
alton obtaining in Los Angeles, San
Francisco, New York, Chicago and
other cities.
Small communities, susceptible to
quick, intensive organization and So
hcitation, can oversubscribe their al
lotments in few hours. For a large
city to have such an early oversub-
scription would be to have few pa
triotic institutions and individuals sub
scribe an amount equal to the total
obligations of over 100000 people.
Many of these 100000, reverting to a
course of pre-war reasoning, would
say:
! LOS Angeles oversubscribed That
excuses U.S."
Your Southern California organiza-
tion confidently looks for large over
subscription. But neither they nor
the Federal Reserve Bank will be sat
isfied with any oversubscription, how
ever large, which does not represent
the heroically sacrificial participation
of the largest possible number of in
dividuals.
We must have breadth of distribu
tion. The totals in dollars and cents
will take care of themselves. Along
this line your organization will pro-
ceed. If it takes four weeks to ac-
'complish the desired result, it means
four weeks. An active, responsive
citizenry alone can make it shorter.
