Government Appeals to Holi-
day Shoppers to Give Sc
curities as Presents

Governor John U. Calkins of the
Federal Reserve Bank, which is the
financial agent of the United States
Government in the Twelfth Federal
Reserve District, has written a letter
to every bank and trust company in
the district calling upon them to use
every means within their power to
induce the people to buy War Savings
Stamps and Treasury Savings Certifi-
Gates for Christmas presents this year.
1t is the hope of the Governor that
the people of the Twelfth District, In
stead of spending their money for lux
uries to be used as Christmas presents,
will help the Government finance its
war debt of twenty-six billions of dol
lars by sending War Savings Stamps
and Treasury Savings Certificates as
gifts to their friends and loved ones.
Demand for War Savings Stamps
and Treasury Savings Certificates, the
latter in denominations of $100 and
$1,000, set in last month. The Federal
Reserve Bank shipped 10000 worth
of Treasury Savings Certificates to
a
eighteen banks on November 20, this
being the largest days shipment since
the close of the war. The Government
anticipates in the light Of the demand
Of these eighteen banks for these Sc
curities to meet the holiday trade, that
the seventeen hundred banks in the
district will purchase more than a
quarter of a million dollars worth Of
the Governments paper. Increased
call for War Savings Stamps and
Treasury Savings Certificates, and
even Thrift Stamps has come in from
all postoffices in tie west in order
that postmasters may have on hand
sufficient supplies to meet the public
demand.
The Governments holiday slogan
"Give a War Savings Stamp or a
Treasury Savings Certificate for Christ
mas" is elaborated in Governor Calk-
ms letter, which follows:
"The Christmas holidays are almost
upon us. Everything points to a
tremendous outlay of money in the
purchase of holiday gifts, the greater
portion of which l think l am safe in
saying will be luxuries. The present
situation demands not that more
money be spent in the purchase of lux
uries, but that we curtail as much as
possible, with the consequent beneficial
contraction of credit.
Therefore, appeal to you as fell
low banker to do everything within
your power to stimulate the purchase
and giving of War Savings Stamps anc
Treasury Savings Certificates as Christ
mas presents in place Of the usual
needless and expensive gifts. 1t seems
to me that the responsibility of leading
mems minds along the ways Of thrift
and simple living rests to great ex-
| tent upon the bankers Of the country
and in asking you to push the sales of
Treasury securities during the Christ
mas holidays, am asking you only to
take advantage of an opportunity to
meet this responsibility"
In addition, Christmas posters car
rying an appeal to give War Savings
Stamps and Treasury Savings Certifi-
Gates for Christmas presents will be
distributed throughout the Twelfth
Federal Reserve District. and all banks
have been asked to include similar
| appeal In their advertising.
