tional direction. II was evident that
the campaign for the sale of these
smaller securities had been a sort Of
hit or miss affair, good, bad. or indif-
ferent, depending on the efficiency and
enthusiasm of local organizations.
Several months ago it was decided to
put the sales organization of War
savings Stamps in the hands of L..
B. Franklin, national director of four
successful Liberty Loan drives. His
official title thereupon became Direct
or Of the War Loan Organization and
he was given national charge of the
placing of the forms of Government
securities mentioned above.
The Treasury Department delegated
to each Of the twelve governors of
the Federal Reresrve banks the re-
sponsibility Of building and putting in
to working order the necessary ma
Chinery for the sale of all Government
securities in his district. The method
of appointing these forces and of or
ganiziEg them most efficiently was
left TO the judgment of each bank gov
ernor.
Governor Theodore Void of the
Ninth Federal Reserve District has in
turn delegated the work of organizing
and directing the Government securi-
ties sales forces to the Central Com
mittee of the Ninth District of which
A. R. Rogers of Minneapolis is the
executive head. This is the committee
which has been so eminently sue
cessful during the last three Liberty
Loan drives and has placed the Ninth
District in an enviable position of
leadership.
Two Distinct Organizations.
Mr.. Rogers announces that the-old
Liberty Loan organization, including
state. district, county and local chair
men and workers which numbers
nearly 100000 individuals will be kept
intact to prepare and carry through
the Fifth Liberty Loan drive which
will be made some time in April. Dis
tinct from this organization. yet a
part Of it as far as district direction
Is concerned will be the old Wal Saw
tngs Stamp state organizations Of
Montana, Minnesota. North Dakota,
South Dakota, Northern Wisconsin
and Northern Michigan. These state
organizations will also be kept intact
as far as possible and will form the
nucleus of the Government Savings
Stamp Division of the Ninth District
War Loan Organization.
The personnel of the Ninth District
War Loan Organization that will have
supervision over the sale of these
Government securities during 1919 Ia
as follows:
A. R.. Rogers, Chairman Central
Committee; Homer P. Clark, Vice
Chairman Central Committee; BENZ
