Stage Set for Victory Loan

otdSC OCT lOI "lCtOIy Loan
The authorization OF the Victory
Loan by Congress is the first step
in the final and greatest of the
campaigns for finances to pay up
the expenses incurred in winning
the world war. For some days
there was an outward fear that
there might be some hitch over the
passage of the bill. but all of this
was set aside on March 2, when the
Senate, by an overwhelming vote.
passed the measure.
Under the provisions of the bill
the United States Treasury shall
sell $7,0000OO,O00 of new short
term notes and $1.000,000,000 for
advances by the War Finance Cor
poration in extending American
Foreign commerce.
With the passage of the bill by
Congress the necessary machinery
throughout the United States was
inaueurased to make the large loan
the most popular in the world
Previous campaigns for bonds and
notes were for the purpose of buy
ing munitions and supplies. All of
the machinery was going at the
highest rate of efficiency in the his
tory of the world when the Teutonlc
power capitulated in a decided de.
feat.
The present campaign for the
| sale of short term notes is to bring
home the boys. and otherwise
straighten out the tremendous fin
ancisl responsibilities that have
been incurred in winning the war
The President and other governmen,
officials have called for the fund:
not only to meet obligations which
must be met, but also to demons

A very considerable amount of
abuse is being heaped upon some
people nowadays because they do
not happen to agree with certain
other people. This intolerant spirit.
it occurs to US. is very much out Of
place in free country.
Can you imagine free, enlieht-
ened and progressive country where
the people are all of one mind? Con-
slider the inert masses of China, or
the slumbering populations of In
dia. What kind of country would
this be. if no man would differ from
another? A people of one mind
would soon become a people of no
mind. A man with no mind of his
own is upon a level with the man
who has no mind at all.
We remember that, in great
speech of Erskine's. he likened the,
freedom of public discussion to-
those storms of nature. without
which the lazy elements would stag
nate into pestilence"
The man of learning who honest
ly speaks his own mind should re-
ceive praise rather than blame
What would you think of Presi-
dent of the United States who had
no opinion and no mind of his own
until he had first heard from the.
United States Senate? What would
be the use of Senate that had no
opinion and no mind until il first
heard from the President? A Ger
man statesman once said: Ger
many is not a national debating
society like the United States" He
was right. Germany was a one
man, one mind nation. And we
know what happened to Germany.
| What's the good of brains, if you
i don't use them? Why possess
knowledge which cannot be ex-
pressed? If there is no freedom Of
debate. how can truth be vindicat-
ed? You strike the shackles from
, every wrong when you put pad
, locks on the lips of truth When
!, you stifie speech you stifie reason
itself. and the rule of right and
. reason must then come quickly to
