Bonds on the Installment Plan

MO person who is able to make a first nav
ment upon Liberty bond should hest
tate to make subscription. Nor should he
assume that he is going into debt when he
oollsates himself to buy securities OF this
sort on partial payment basis. There are
many people who feel natural reluctance
to purchase anything that they are unable
70 pay cash for. This in ordinary transac-
tions' Is praiseworthy method of doing
business. The man or woman who adheres
to 1t is always solvent. There are never any
bills to be met or debts to shrink from.
But no debt is actually contracted when
bond is subscribed for on the installmcnt
plan. The subscriber may not be able to pay
more than SO down upon 500 bond
This will leave him noninally in debt TO
his bank to the extent OF $50, sum which
ne pledges himself TO pay. In his accounts
he reckons this 500 as a debt, but as a
matter OF fact, 1t is not debt at ALL He
should remember, in making his calculations,
that whereas he may owe his bank 500 his
government owes him 500
1t Is fortunate that partial payments may
be made upon Liberty bonds For example,
1t would be impossible as we'll as unwise to
undertake the floating OF $4,000. 600
bond Issue on strictly cash basis In the
hrst place, there is not s6.000,000,000 in
actual cash or currency in America The
total is slightly above the 100000, 900
marx. II the government should demand
100 per cent cash payments on its bonds
all the silver. gold and paper money in the
country would be needed to make the pur-
chase and then some. In the next place
1t would be disastrous to take even $4,000
100000 from circulation at one time.
The installment plan is both necessity
ana convenience. Without It, loans on
large scale could not be absorbed The coup-
try would have to make It's bond oflerg in
smaller sums and much o,tcner. Nor copId
individuals make large subscriptions. Few
or them have great deal OF ready money.
Most persons find Themselves in the same DO
sitlon as the President. who paid cash for
$4,000 worth OF bonds and then asked his
bank to carry him for $4,000 on a PARTIAL
payment basis
