War FUNDS NEEDED.
THERE WILL BIZ THREE LfBER-
tt LOANS DURING YEAR.
Sixteen Billion Dollars Needed to
Finance War Operations During
Year in Addition to Eight Billion
Dollars Gained Through New Rev
cIlue Bill.

Washington, Aug. 11.--Tentativ
plans OF the treasury provide 70
three big Liberty loan campaign
within the next year, each to raise So,
000,000,00 Or more, it was learned
today. The first will be from Septem
Der 2S to October 19 as has been an
nounced, the next Tor January o.
February and the third in May o
! June. This program Will be neces
sary it is explained, to provide III;
SIC, ,00O, 100000 which officials esti
mate will be required to finance wal
operations during the year. in add
ton to the $4,000, 100000 which
may be provided by the new reve
nue bill now being drafted.
II government expenditures ane
loans to allies fall much below th<
$4,000, 100000 estimate the govern.
nnent is expected to try TO combine
two loans into one, being the larges1
single credit ever sought by any ma
ton.
Such a campaign would be set fol
some time in the late winter.
Money needs between loan periods
will be financed by sale of short tern
certificates Of Indebtedness, as in the
past. IN addition, the treasury looks
for a steady inflow of money from tan
certificates which banks and corpora
tons probably will buy in billion dol
lar quantities as a means of virtually
paving their taxes in advance.
Every effort will be made by the
treasury to make the number of loans
as few and the time Of rest between
the campaigns as long as possible.
Officials would much rather have only
enc more big solicitation in addition
to the fourth campaign to start late
next month, than two before the enc
of the fiscal year next June 80.
One particular season in which the
treasury wishes to aFoid floating pop
ular loans is the Christmas holidays
and the following weeks of compara-
tive commercial inactivity when there
is danger also of curtailed industrial
activity on account Of bad weather.
Another Dad time for loans is the
spring planting season when farmers
are busy and business men have less
tine than the usual to devote to cam
paigning. The third period to be
avoided is June, when huge war taxes
will have to be paid.
no plans for future Liberty loans
can be formulated definitely many
weeks in advance, owing to the uncer-
tainty OF the volume Of government
expenditures Consequently the pro-
gram now in the minds of treasury Of
fcials is highly tentative. An exam
pie of the fluctuations Of eXpendi-
lures is the fact that with August
more than half gone the allies have
called for only s71,000,000 loan pay
naents, a little more than one-third
the usual rate of borrowing.
