ONLY ONE MORE
LIBERTY LOAN
WILDE FLOATED
Secretary of Treasury Glass
viii Make f'Victory Loan"
Campaign to Raise Five or
Six Billion Dollars

Only. one more big loan drive is
planned by the treasury department,
Secretary Glass announced IN Wash
ington this week. This will be the
Victory Loan, to be foated probably
the last three weeks in April. The
amount will not be more than S.
000,000,000 and may be $4,000, 100000.
"I expect the Victory Liberty Loan
to be the last intensive campaign for
the sale of government bonds" said
Mr.. Glass. Reports that there would
be two more bond issues this year
aggregating $4,000, 900, OO0a are en-
tirely without foundation, rot only
as to amount, but also as regards
the number of campaigns"
More bonds probably will be issued
by the government, even after the
next campaign, but it is planned to
market these quietly through banks
and other financial institutions, with
out the usual campaign of advertise
ing and soliciting. The amount of
securities to be sold in this manner
will not be determined for months,
until the treasury gets a more def
mite idea of the volume of expenses
growing out of liquidating of war
contracts, the allies needs for fu-
ture loans, and the demands arising
from continuing the policy of max
ing loans to railroads, financing the
next wheat crop, continuing ship
building and other internal obIiga-
lions.
The misapprehension regarding
the number and amount of remain
ing loans may have arisen, treasury
officials explained today, over the
fact that the reasury had planned
to float two loan issues aggregating
about $4,000, 100000 this fiscal year
The fiscal year began last July /,
however, and ends next June 80,
and the fourth Liberty loan of nearly
$1,000 100000 already has been float
ed in that period.

ENGLAND WATCHES
DRY IN
UNITED STATES

England is watching the result
Of the ratification Of the constitu-
tional amendment to make the Unit
ed States dry and prominent news
papers in London have made inter-
esting comments upon the success
Of the dry movement.
The London Daily Chronicle said
this week:
THE American decision that the
whole of the United States shall
from January IS, 1920, go dry, is in
deed a potent for US all. In Great
Britain it cannot but be sympathet-
ically and anXiously watched, and
all parties will realize that, in the
long run, it's success or failure Will
decide not only the American policy
on this subject, but also the Anglo
Saxon" The Daily Express says
that the whole business of prohibi-
ton is IAN experiment which the
world will watch with interest
Inquiries are being made in Lon
don by several American whisky
manufacturers regarding the posi-
bility of disposal on the British
markets of large quantities of bond
ed American whisky. Import re,
strictions, high import duties and
opposition from British interests, it
is believed, will make such a plan
impossible. What is worrying the
British LIQUOR distillers with long
range minds is the possibility Of the
American dry example taking effect
here.
