APP0RTI0NMENT OF THE
THIRD LIBERTY LOAN

Bank resources, more than any
other standard, represent the liquid
wealth Of a community, and since
the overwhelming volume Of Liberty
Loan subscriptions is made by
means Of the transfer Of credit
through banks, bank resources form
the most reasonable basis for an es-
innate Of the mipiu i'm amount Of
subscriptions 70 Liberty Loan 70 be
expected from a community. There
are many other factors worthy to be
taken into consideration, but bank
resources form the most available
standard II must be taken into &C.
count by the people Of every com
munity that when an apportion-
ment is made TO bank in any case.
II means that the amount apportion-
ed is the amount which the people
Of that community or the patrons Of
that bank are expected 70 subscribe
for through the bank. and not the
amount which the bank is expected
TO subscribe for i y own account.
The banks have lnbscribed most
literally, and may E relied upon to
continue to do The public
should, however, ,derstand that IL
a bank is to maintain It's greatest
usefulness to a community, its re-.
sources must not be too heavily in
vested in government bonds or
bonds Of any description. The
banks therefore are chiefly the finan-
DIAL agencies for receiving and
gathering in subscriptions TO Liber-
ty Bonds. 1t is the war of the peo-
pie and the people should buy the
bonds.
