purpose is to meet the situation Gre

failure of Congress to provide funds
for the remainder Of this fiscal year
Support will be furnished by the
committee to the, 1000 branch bu-
reaus for returning soldiers and sail
ors,. now maintained by the war well
fare organizations and local COM
munities, and in addition efforts will
be made to establish such bureaus in
additional cities and towns through
financial aid Cooperation of local

A campaign for the stimulation Of
industry, as means of solving the

how big an appetite for safe investment
this country has attained In its war

the figures referred to follow: r.
A bond market which had less than
900, 900 customers two years ago had
at the close Of 1913 between 10000.
600 and 25,o0o,Oo0 buyers. Tho army

Loans which were -hoated in 1871
these bond buyers disested 9 total q
S1s,974, ,s2s,s5o In Liberty bonds.
This healthy condition q the bond
market is explained, perhaps, BY the
fact that the entire Indebtedness OF
the United States today amounts TO
slightly less than I per cent Of the
estimated national wealth. The M.
tional debt amounts to only about
