next LOAN CAMPAIGN
WILL BEGIN APRIL q
Treasury Department Decides to
Change Date, Avoiding Start in
Lenten Season.

1t is tentatively planned by the
Treasury Department to open the
next liberty loan campaign on April
II instead of April g. as was original
ly intended. This change is being
made because of the undesirability of
starting upon the big drive during
the Lenten season. A definite an
nouncement will be made later.
No attempt has been made as yet
by Secretary Glass or his advisers
TO settle on the interest rate or other
terms of the loan. it was stated of
ficially today. Whatever the terms
may be, they will accord with the
principle of maintaining the market
price of preceding issues. officials de-
clared This is one factor tending
to induce the Treasury to keep the
interest rate on the fifth loan as low
as possible. since it is felt a rate
as high as > per cent would work
out as a depreciating influence on
preceding issues.
Further tax exemptions on bonds
already outstanding. acceptance of
them in payment of certain forms of
taxes in future years. or conversion of
them into securities bearing higher
interest rates. are means which might
be taken to maintain the prices of
outstanding bonds
