GOVERNMENT LOTTERY
FOR SALE OF BONDS

New York, March 2l.--A govern
ment lottery for the purchase of lib
Arty bonds is under consideration by
Secretary of the Treasury Clark, ac-
Fcording to a statement made yesterday
hy the originator of the novel plan.
George r. Buchanan. stock exchange
member. The plan provides for the
drawing at stated intervals of bonds OF
the several issues at slight premiums
over their face value--say 101 or 102.
This would check the selling of
bonds by small holders more effective
ly than purchasing them In the mar
ket." said Mr.. Buchanan, 'for the
chance of securing a premium on
bond would keep many people from
selling who are not, compelled to sell
through necessity.
THE money being used by the gov
eminent to buy bonds could be uul-
lied under such a scheme, and II
would stabilize prices by stopping I'M
necessary selling. This is the real ex-
PLANTATION Of the weakness of the
liberty bond issues, and those who
,have watched thte operations OF the
treasury department agree that
quicker results would be obtained
through the lottery method"
There has been considerable cratf-
cism in financial circles over the gov
ernment's inability to stabilize liberty
bond prices through the purchase, at
a marked discount, OF millions OF dol
lars worth in the open market. Yet
no apparent remedy has thus far been
found.

by the people of this community.
With this sale we note the passin z

panese when the ambitions and pur-
poses of the Japanese government arc
so well known. 1t seems especially
strange to me that Californians should
be willing to participate in such a
deal. They ought to know that a
syndicate to buy land on the Ameri-
can continent is not going to be
formed in Japan unless the japanese
government Is behind it.
II am glad to know that the state
department has taken the matter up
and certainly hope that some way
will be found to stop the deal from
going through"
Senator King. OF Utah. said that in
his opinion the Monroe Doctrine
would not prohibit the acquisition OF
land by individuals, but that IL It
were established that any foreign
government was behind the >individ-
uals who made the purchase. the
situation would be different and would
cali for an emphatic protest from this
government. He added:
1T Is clear that If either directly
or indirectly the government OF Japan
is interested in this land deal, or II
the acquisition becomes so large as
to make it appear that colonization
scheme Is contemplated. such a
transaction would be in violation OF
the Monroe Doctrine. 1t seems to
me the onus rests upon American
owners of the land to prove that they
are not parties to q scheme which
would give the Japanese government
the long desired foothold in Mexico
in close proximity to the American
border"
