Advertise the Victory Loan

From LeSlle s.
 The cost of floating about S1s,000,- 900, 900 of Liberty Bonds so far issued reaches the large aggregate of $30,OO0,- 900. Of this sum, only relatively small proportion was spent for en- graving, paper and print. The chlet expense was due to the official schemes for advertising the loans. No money for this purpose was paid to the newspapers and other periodicals. Ihey periodically devoted countless pages of valuable space to pushing the loans, and made no charge. The government could have saved the main part of the outlay in promoting the loans. It could have followed the example of shrewd and successful business men in Can ada, where the war loans were ad- vertised lin the columns of reputable publications at regular rates and easily subscribed.
 Evcen though it had paid at a liberal rate for such advertisements these would have proved less costly and more effective than the multifarious expedi- ents which were resorted to. Among these were posters. pamphlets, folders, handbills cards, auto markers, placards, pastors, Liberty Bell hangers. inserts, lantern slides, motion pictures, novel, ties. rub ber stamps. Kaiser collars, armbands, billboard signs, foreign lan- guage appeals, electric signs, tickers, theatre programmes, transparency cov- CTS, window hangers and window dis plays. The fuss and litter. connected with all this were immense. Could a great nation have done anything more undignified than, to stoop to these catch dollar devices which were an ex- travagapce and a waste? Moreover, the appeals were so numerous and sur feiting that their effect was largely deadened 1E

TO ARRIVE SATURDAY
By Associated Press

Rerlin Thursday, March 27.-The Ger man financial commission will leave Weimar for Versailles tomarrow at noon. equipped with the fullest instructions and powers It hopes to arrive Saturday at noon.
 Versailles is believed to have been chosen for the place of meeting with the allied financial experts because the mem bers there will escape any unpleasant ness they might be subjected to in Paris. Part of the German press, however. con- siders the choice of Versailles as an in dication that the delegates will not be allowed to participate as equal negotla- tors. Some of the papers maintain, on the otlfer hand, that the entente has no such intention, since such move would up- set things from the start. These journals point out that the economic councn re- peatedly has met at Versailles.
 The press in part is convinced by the tone of the entente invitation that the German financial commission will be given questions of considerable impor- tance to work upon and that it will be regarded as a regular and permanent financial and political connecting link between the economic council and the German peace delegation.
 It is anticipated that important finan- cial and economic questions which will start immediately on the arrival Of the commission will lead directly to genu- iney political negotiations with which the peace commission will deal.
