WILL TRY TO AVOID
INACCURATE REPORT
Estimates Of the Liberty Loan
Subscriptions Will Not Be
Given TO the Public.

WASHINGTON. April io.--Estimates
OF daily Liberty loan subscriptions VIII
not be given out during the campaign
by national. district or local headquar-
ters, under instructions issued by Sec
rotary McAdOo. Instead, the treasury
will gather them from each Federal
Reserve bank figure on subscriptions
actually filed with them. together with
receipts from the initial 5 per cent pay
ment. and a tabulatlon OF these will be
mado public each day.
Local committees may compile sini'
lar reports Of subscriptions turned into
local banks and give out the results.
Inaccurate Estimate Feared.
This method OF supplying informa-
tlon on the day by day progress OF the
loan adopted by the treasury after long
discussion, is intended TO prevent the
publication OF inaccurate estimates,
which might not be borne out by ac-
tual subscriptions. Secretary McAdoo
requested newspapers and Liberty loan
committees TO observe the new rule.
over long distance telephone from
Richmond. Va. where he made his first
Liberty loan speech on a southern tour.
the secretary authorized this state
ment:
No Figures for Some Days.
In order to remove the risk OF in
accurate information and OF over-san-
guine and misleading estimates con-
cerning the amount Of subscriptions to
the third Liberty loan, no figures VIII
be given out for some days. and then
only figures as TO the actual amount OF
subscriptions officially filed with the
Federal Reserve banks. The danger OF
relying upon optimistic estimates and
unofficial subscriptions will thus be
avoided.
This information viii be made public
beginning at an early date, when the
department viii be prepared to give
accurate figures. After the plan has
been developed the Federal Reserve
hanks will report to the treasury de-
partment the amounr OF subscriptions
actually filed and thcse reports will be
given out daily"

Some people pretend that our ma
tional debt is small by comparing II 10

hey say why, that is less than the

As the farmers are fooling them
selves by thinking OF prices and dol
lars instead of bushels and bales. so
industry is fooling itself by looking to
profits and wages instead of produc-
ion and saving.
