IT IS The PEOPLES JOB
Reasons Why We Must Fully Sub
scribe to Victory Liberty Loan.
II Left to Banks Alone They Could
Not Meet Commercial Needs
of Country.

MONEY ALREADY SPENT. To
pay it's bills, fulfill it's contracts, bring
home our boys and otherwise finish
the job, the United States Government
MUST have billions of dollars more
than can be realized from taxation,
By April LIST it will have spent prac
tically $6,0O0,OOO,OO0, borrowed on
short-time certificates of Indebtedness
in anticipation of the Victory Loan.
POPULAR LOAN THE ONLY WAY.
There is just one way in which the
treasury department can get this great
sum of money. That is by borrowing
it from the people of this country. I'm
thinking or disloyal people have said
that the banks were going to subscribe
this loan. Stop and think what that
would mean. If the banks could and
did loan the Government $4,000, 000,-
600, it would require the investment
Tin nOn-negotiable securities) Of every
cent of money at their command. Re-
sult-They would have no money to
loan to commercial customers. How
long could the business of the country
be conducted without borrowed CAPT
tai? If the banks took the Victory
Loan, business would be stagnated.
Failures and all the suffering and ca
tastrophies of a panic would follow
No. The Victory Liberty Loan MUST
be subscribed by the VERY GREAT.
EST POSSIBLE NUMBER OF PEG.
PILE from their savings.
A GOOD INVESTMENT. The Vic.
tory Liberty Loan will furnish another
fine investment opportunity to the pep.
pie. Uncle Sam isn't asking us to give
him anything. He Is only asking us to
invest in the worlds safest securities,
and for the use of the money he is
preparing to pay us the most liberal
interest consistent with good bust
ness. The non-investing classes have
never before had so remarkable a
chance to proftably and safely invest
their money.
PATRIOTISM DEMANDS VICTORY
LIBERTY LOAN SUBSCRIPTIONS
Loyalty to America demands that
every man, woman or child who is able
buy Victory Liberty Loan securities
TO THE LIMIT.
The victorious Fifth" will test the
peace-time patriotism of America.
Is the patriotism, which so largely
entered into the remarkable oversu1
scriptions of the four previous loans
a garment our people put on for eigh
teen months and then cast aside?
We have unshakable faith that pa
triotism is an abiding force in everJ
American heart. We predict that il
will prompt the same generous, sacri
ficing efforts that gave our people pre-
eminence during the days of fighting
The war was job wished" on US by

Quiet Hours In
Hungary

n EPoRTs received during the
past two weeks indicate
IA " that the Soviet Republic
Of Hungary is on the verge
of collapse. On the other hand,
there were dispatches telling of the
increasing strength of Bella Kun s
government. OF the conflicting
evidence it is rather hard to ferret
out the truth. This account given
Of Hungarian conditions in the new
republic by H. n Brailsford, the
we'll known English journalist and
expert on Near Eastern questions,
is on the whole not unfavorable to
the Communist regime. Again, the
correspondent Of 1.-THE London
Daily Telegraph paints the situa-
ton in the gloomiest colors, indi-
rectly supporting the diagnoses of
earlier date of the correspondents
Of "The London Times" and the
Berlin "Vosslsche Zeitung."
In his article Brailsford empha-
sizes his impression that the domi-
nant note in Bolshevik Budapest
is not anarchy, but the opposite,
exaggerated order. There is in
Europe to-day no city more mo-
notonously orderly than Budapest"
he writes, "and the stranger who ex-
pected confusion energies in the
end little stihed by the oppressive
order. He continues:
"The amazing thing is that this new
dictatorship, scattering orders so nu-
merous that memory cannot cope with
them, is everywhere obeyed. 1t has
ruthlessly carried out its principles.
Private property in all but the smaller
forms of capital vanished in q night.
1t mattered little that the internal
state debt, above a minimum figure,
was epudiated-its owners did not
exaggerate the value Of their scrip.
Nor was the appropriation of indus
trial capital a catastrophe measure.
for there are no old industrial families
in Hungary, and no numerous master
class. The Jewish middle class-a
Magyar middle class hardly exists
is very new, and so given to speculation
that the sudden shocks seemed to it no
worse than a gamblers losses.

4 Bad Crossing

"Then it was that she spoke most
wildly Of the life she had left behind

she had gone by herself apart to live
in mountain cottage in the South of
Russia. A very old peasant and his

so much the more does Shantung,

Her friends told her that Petro-

and that in any case it was impossible
for her to travel SO far through Russia
alone. But she had been determined

journey, had crossed the full length Of

She told me much of that journey.

The President and Congress.

The Presidents first address to the
Sixtvsixth Congress, whether deliver
ed in the spring or a year hence, should
be very interesting. 1t should embody
his views about the more pressing
points of reconstruction. Congress and
the country viii expect him to outline
the policies he thinks the occasion calls
for. Then Congress can accept, or
amend, or reject his recommendation,
as it thinks best.
The country, it is true, has called
the republicans back to power on Capt.
toll Hill, and the democratic power
there ends March 4. But the Presi-
dent Will hold on at his end of the
Avenue at least until March 4, 1921; ;
and until that time he must exercise
his power after the constitutional pre-
scription. He must give to the repub-
lican Congress, as he has done to the
democratic Congress, information of
the state of the Union, and recommend
to their consideration such measures
as he shall judge necessary and ex-
pedieut7
The Presidents views as to recon-
struction are not known. Neither are
those of the Sixty-sixth Congress. But
as he is democrat and the complexion
OF that Congress republican, it is as
sumed that differences as to recon
struction measures will show as be-
tween the executive and the legisla-
ture.
We are entering upon a period of
vigorous politics; and nobody should

the better. There is much to be done,
imposed on us by the war. Both for
eign and domestic affairs will occupy
attention. But it viii be domestic at
fairs that viii cause our sharpest po-
litical divisions.
The domestic issues are numerous,

isfaetory action possible.

thing seems to assure humming cam

An American Merchant Marine.

This IS taken from news story:
Chairman Hurley of the Shipping
! Board announced Hast night that he
had arranged with the United States
: Chamber OF Commerce to get an ex-
preston Of opinion from business,
civic, industrial and labor organiza-
tons of the United States upon the
policy that should be adopted by the
government toward the merchant ma
rine. He said Il series of questions
would be tclegraphed Immediately to
secure opinions on ship construction
government or private ownership and
operation and all other questions bear
ing on the situation"
The question of merchant marine,
adequate for all our purposes, con
Germs every American who has stake
in the country and hopes for the
c0untry's advancement. AS we all
know, largely increased foreign trade
is a very prominent feature in our cal
euiations for the future. We must do
more business with other nations, sup
ply more of their wants, if we are to
prosper under the new world arrange
ments. And in order that we may rise
TO the occasion and the opportunity
we must become an ocean carrying
nation.
We should never have fallen behind
in this important matter if the deyel-
opment of our land transportation,
which began to occupy attention at
the close of the civil war, had not
proved so colossal and remunerative.
This led US to forget or neglect the
sea, until our flag on merchant vessels
became a rarity there. It was seldom
seen in any busy foreign port.
Now and then complaint about the
situation has been made, but has usual
ly been silenced by objections to the
means necessary to rehabiitate our
selves on the water. With all the
ocean carriers substituting their mer-
chant fleets, we were warned against
PVAiNN do iei anu the ndfA-
ing prevailed. At the very time we
were encouraging American industries
on land by successful protective tar
if, we were refusing to grant aid
which would have secured American
bottoms for the transportation over
seas of American made goods.
As a result-a perfectly just and
logical result--we had dawdled and
drifted into state of helplessness
until the war came and woke US up.
At last there are American merchant
ships; and more are to follow. They
are government built and owned. How
should they be operated7 BY the gov
ernmentl or by individuals under gov
eminent lease! Or should they be
sold, and pass to private ownership
outright, for use as good business
judgment and experience may suggest
The new Congress will take up this
question and the better it is informed
as to the sentiment of the business
world, the better should be its de-
cision. Mr.. Hurley's action is praise
worthy.

Some country is almost sure to arise
in the near future and move to amend
the constitution of the league of ma
tons. The amendment is rapidly be-
coming the feature that preserves a
great document to current interest.
