VICTORY LOAN TO
BE FINAL PUBLIC
CAMPAIGN, CLAIM

Washington, D. c., Jan. 20.-OnIy
one more big war loan drive is
planned by the treasury depart
ment, Secretary Glass said today
This will be the Victory .Liherty
loan, to be floated probably the last
three weeks in April. The amount
will not be more than $4,000 600 :
900, and may be $4,000, 100000
Il expect the Victory Liberty
loan to be the last intensive cam
paign for the sale of government
bonds" said Mr.. Glass. Reports
that there would be two more bond
issues this year, aggregating S12.-
000, 100000, are entirely without
foundation, not only as to amount
but also as regards the number of
campaigns"
More bonds probably will be is
sued by the government, even after
the next campaign, but it is planned
to market these quietly through
banks and other financial institu-
tions without the usual campaign
of advertising and soliciting. The
amount of securities to be sold in
this manner will not be determined
for months, or until the treasury
gets more definite idea of the
volume of expenses growing out of
liquidating of war contracts, the
allies needs for further loans, and
the demands arising from continu-
ing the policy of making loans to
railroads. financing the next wheat
crop, continuing ship buildings, and
other internal obligations.
One result of Secretary Glass an
nouncement is that Liberty loan or
gani1ations throughout the couI-
try will make the final" a big sell
ing point in the campaign.
The misapprehension regarding
the number and amount of remain
ing loans may arise, treasury Off
cials explained today, over the fact
that the treasury had planned to
float two loan issues aggregating
about $4,000, 100000 this fiscal
year. The fiscal year began last
July l, however. and ends next
June so, and the fourth Liberty
loan of nearly $1,000 900, 900 already
has been floated in that period.
Most treasury officials believe
that the terms of the fifth, or Vic
tory loan. will have to be made
more attractive than those of the
past, either by raising the interest
rate above IA per cent or by some
other means.

Mr.. Henderson outlined some Of
the difficulties which he had faced
in bringing about a labor confer
enCe. The conference was first
planned for Paris. co-incident with
the peace conference, but the
French government Nt it be under
stood that this was not acceptable
to them. Laussienne was then
chosen but again came hints from
the Swiss French, thar French
Switzerland was not possible as
the scene of the conference, al
though they did not object to its
being held in German Switzerland.
Berne was then selected as the
meeting place.
Germans and Austrians as well
as Dutch and Swedish labor lead
ers, Mr.. Henderson said, he under
stood, would participate. French
and Italian delegates probably
would attend. The conference
plans to take up labor questions
such as maximum working day,
uniform wage scale and related
matters, and to forward the find
ings to the peace conference in the
hope that they will be incorporated
in the peace treaty. The confer
ence here, if it is held, will be the
first official meeting between allied
and enemy labor leaders since the
beginning of the war.
