STATEMENT BY SEC. GLASS
REGARDING LIBERTY BONDS

= Z . = #s 7 +.
My attention has been directed to
the activities of unscrupulous persons
VINO have been operating extensively
throughout the country and who are
sWindling the owners of Liberty Bonds
by purchasing bonds at prices far be-
low their actual worth.
These swindlers get the attention
OF Liberty Bond owners by publish
ing advertisements calculated to make
the unsusPecting Bond owner believe
that the highest market price can be
secured for his bonds through the
agency of the advertiser. Such is
rarely, If ever, the case Records of
transactions of this character, brought
TO the attention of the Department of
Justice and the Treasury Department,
prove conclusively that these swind-
lers take every advantage of Bond
owners who are forced into their
clutches by paying the lowest possi-
Die price which the owner will ac-
cept- and generally far below the
actual value of the bonds.
l regret to observe that many rem
utable newspapers are being victim
lied by accepting the advertisements
of these swindlers, and 1 appeal to
all newspaper publishers to scrutinize
very carefully the character Of indi-
viduals who use their columns to Of
fer to buy Liberty Bonds. AS a news
paper publisher, I believe that it is
the duty of publishers to protect their
readers against unscrupulous adver-
tisers.
Other swindlers endeavor to trade
worthless articles or securities of lit-
tie value for Liberty Bonds, and
appeal to patriotic publishers to as
sist in putting an end to this practice.
The Treasury Department will take
such steps as are possible under the
law to protect the interests of hold
ers of Liberty Bonds, and will use
every means at it's command to bring
to justice all who seek to defraud the
people who have SO patriotically as
sisted in winning the war by invest
and War Savings Stamps.
Owners of Liberty Bonds and War
Savings Stamps should in no circum-
stances part with these securities un-
less necessity compels, and then they
should deal only with reliable banks,
trust companies, banking institutions
and others whose reputation for in
tegrity is beyond question. If it is
necessary to sell Liberty Bonds the
highest market value should be re-
ceived.
The Treasury Department will well
come information concerning the
operations of these swindlers in any
part of the country.
