STILL WANTS LOAN
DRIVE DUR|NGAPR|L:

Though short time notes may be
issued in lieu ,of bonds the Government
is planning for fifth loan drive just
the same. Following the decision to
use short time notes. Secretary Glass
issued the following statement:
"The Victory Liberty loan campaign
will b gin not later than April II.
The requirements of the treasury are
imperative and cannot be financed
without such campaign. The form
and terms of the securities to be issued
remain to be determined. Whether
they be bonds or notes, it is absolutely
essential that the widest possible mea-
suresof distribution be realized. This
will necessitate a campaign of the
same character as that conducted in
the past through the existing Liberty
loan organizations. They have pledged
again their united support in order
that the Victory Liberty loan bonds
or notes may be distributed as widely
oas possible among the American peo-
pie.
