VICTORY LIBERTY LOAN OPENS
APRIL Fl, LASTING WEEKS

The Victory Liberty loan campaign
will open Monday, April 81. and close
three weeks Saturday, May 10.
Secretary Glass, of the Treasury De-
partment announced the dates last
week, together that short term notes.
maturing in not over five years would
/ 9 issued instead of longer term bonds
The amount of notes to be offered was
not disclosed, but it has been generally
understood the loan would be for a
minimum of s5,O00,O 100000. with the
Treasury reserving the right to accept
all over subscriptions.
Mr.. Glass said the interest rate on
the notes and the amounts to- be ex-
empted from taxation would not be
determined until a week OF two be-
fore the campaign. as they would be
based upon financial conditions at that
time It was intimated, however that
the notes might bear AZ per cent, the
interest rate on the third and fourth
loans
After studying financial conditions
in all parts of the country said Mr.
Glass, 81 have determined that the in
terests of the United States will best
be served at this time by the issuance
of short term notes rather than Of
longer term bonds which would have
TO bear the limited rate of interest of
Az per Sent.
"The Victory Liberty Loan will.
therefore take the form of notes of
the United States maturing in not over
five years from date of issue. These
notes will be. as were the Liberty
Loan bonds, the direct promise to pay
of the United States. will be issued
both in registered and coupon form.
and the coupon notes will be in final
form and will have attached the inter
est coupons covering the entire life
of the notes. am hopeful that the
notes in final engraved form will be
ready for delivery by the opening of
the campaign on April 81.
Il am led to adopt the plan of issu-
ing short term notes rather than long
term bonds largely because of the
fact that | believe n short term issue
will maintain a price at about par
after the campaign is concluded, far
more readily than would a longer
term issue.
II take this opportunity to repeat
that II is the intention of the Treas
ury Department to carry on the same
kind Of intensive campaign for distri-
button as heretofore.
