< ,. * Encouraging Outlook For Victory Loan

WHlLE the Secretary .! of the
 w Treasury has fixed upon April 21 as the date for inaugurating the Victory Liberty Loan-"Vic" Loan for short-the amount sought has not yet been announced. It will be in the neighborhood of six billion dollars, however, and the outlook for a 100 per cent achievement is bright.
 The last offering of six hundred million dollars of government certifi- cates of indebtedness was oversub- scribed by upwards of twenty million dollars. There were iptions in the New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, St. Louis, Minneapolis and Cleveland districts, but the Boston, San Fran cisco, Richmond, Atlanta, Kansas City and Dallas districts failed to reach their quotas.
 The treasury department now has sold nearly four billion dollars of cer- tificates to be released out of pay ments from the Victory Loan. With a new issue of five hundred million dollars announced yesterday and ad ditional issues of that amount every two weeks, the total will be more than six billions by May 1, when the first payments from the Victory Loan will be received.
 The banks and the corporations will do their part in making the Loan an ! over-the-top success, but individuals from one end of the country to the ether must be aroused to the import ance of the forthcoming campaign and subscribe on the same generous scale that made the previous Loans seem easy.
 The war is over, but there is inn perative need for all that the treas ury department calls for to meet the obligations incurred in winning the war. The people were keyed up to the highest pitch of patriotism while the war was in progress. It should be so in April.
