HINANCIERS DISCUSS
FIFTH LIBERTY LOAN


Discussion of the Forthcoming gov
eminent loan is active in the banking
and brokerage houses of Washington.
In no quarter is there any doubt that
the people of the District of Colum i
bia win subscribe their quota and
more. no matter in what way the gov
eminent may decide to float the loan
or what the terms may be. The new
loan cannot long be delayed because
the funds obtained under the previous
loans. have been spent and the gov
eminent is now being financed by
funds obtained by the sale of Treas
ury certificates of Indebtedness. These,
of course. are to be taken up with
proceeds of the fifth liberty loan or
the victory loan.

The prediction of a post-bellum
boom set forth in public statement
by Ernest Hamill president of the
Com Exchange National Bank of
Chicago, was favorably discussed to-
day - by number of Washington
bankers. Mr.. Hamill has the reputa-
ton In banking circles of being
good prophet. He has foreseen things
on many other occasions and his. pres
ent prediction of an approaching
boom is taken seriously. His proph-
ecy carries with tia qualification. He
says that if the government fails to
meet the patriotic corporations of the
country half way then my prediction
as to the beg inning of prosperity is
annulled." He says that steel. iron
and other mills periodically turned
their works into munition plants and
their owners and managers spared
nothing to help win the war. Fac
tories were enlarged, machinery
changed and time and energy given
unstintedly to the work in hand. Mr..
Hamill says that this devotion and
these sacrifices merit fair dealing on
the part of the governments repre-
sentatives."
He predicts that the industrial
boom will start in about September
and that for about three years there
will be great rush of business. He
| says that the method of adjustment
must determine the date of the be-
ginning of the boom.

Makes Financiers Cheerful.

The HamiH forecast coming so soon
after that made by j. Leonard Rep
logic increases the cheerful attitude
of financiers toward the future.
Mr. Replogle, who acted for the
United States government and the al
lies in the purchase OF steel during the
war, has been quoted as saying that
he believes a buying movement in
pig iron and semi-flnished steel will
develop within three months. He be-
lieves that a heavy demand for Ameri-
can steel products will set in from
Europe, South America and the orient
and he thinks that Italy and Japan
will be especially large buyers of
American steel. He predicted that the
American demand will be the heaviest
in the history of the United States.
He believes that those persons who
are expecting much lower prices than
those prevailing in the basic industry
are guessing wrong. He said that the
thigh cost of living, high wages and

me war is Won, and many people are
now becoming critical OF the bill of

may be summed up in the way that
Ilews & Co. put the case. They
say. Many unnecessary govern
hteht activities are still maintained:
many unnecessary bureaus are enday-
or1ng to make themselves perma-
hent: many constructive works that
sEould be stopped are still going,
while hundreds of millions, if not
billions. could be saved during the
current year if there was only suffi-
cient effort in that direction. The
government has done much toward
such economy. but not enough. main
