NEWARK ELECTRIC LIGHT PLANT
INSTALLED AND BEGINS SERVICE
WHAT DO YOU MEAN,
CAN'T AFFORD IT?
TERMS OF yICTRoY LOAN PAY
MENTS SO EASY THAT ALL
CAN RESPOND

The story has been carefully spread
by enemies of the Liberty Loan that
the terms of the Fifty or Victory
Loan will be very different and much
harder to meet than those of the 9TH
er loans. Secretary Glass has made
the following official announcement
as 20 the terms:
Ten per cent must be paid with the
application.
Ten per cent must be paid on July
Is.
Twenty per cent must be paid on
August IL.
Twenty per cent on Sept. 9.
And the last payment, 20 per cent
must be made on November Il.
Does that sound very drastic and
unreasonable? And with the last
payment made of course all the ac-
crued interest, is due, just as it has
been with other loans Payment can
be completed at any time on the in
stallment dates with the payment OF
accrued interest to the date on which
the payment is made. There is very
little difference in the character Of
the issues. Technically the Fifth
bonds are not bonds but notes, but
they are both long term promises of
the United States of America to pay
certain sum of money with interest
at a certain date. In brief, the bonds
may run for a period of 10 years or
more, while the notes will run five
years.
AS to affording the money for the
bond payments, well that is an indi-
vidual matter and each American will
have to fight that out with his own
conscience. For it becomes matter
of conscience, this question as to
whether a man shall or shall not sup
port his government when that gov
eminent calls upon him. The terms
are made such that no man can con-
scientiously point to them and say
that they debar him from putting his
