Want HIGH RATE
Victory Bonds with 434 Pet. In
terest FavOrite Over 334.
Evidence of Wide Distribution
of Bonds, Says Washington.

Washington, April s25.-Eighty per
cent of the victory loan buyers are
taking notes bearing AZ per cent in
terest, according to unofficial esti-
mates at the treasury today. The notes
with an interest rate of 3 y per cent
are finding few purchasers Subscribe
ers for notes of the lower interest rate.
however, a1e- buying large quantities
the figures show.
The war loan officials pointed out
that the tremendous number of sub
scribers for notes of the higher inter-
est rate as compared with buyers OF
3% pei cent notes gave satisfactory
evidence of a wide distribution. Re-
ports from all federal reserve districts
show, officials said, that average sub
scription in the present campaign is
not SO large, comparatively, as in pre-
viouS loans. But they believed the re-
suits shown thus far were more favor
able for the government and the bond
for the notes appears likely.
The lower interest rate makes the
3 q per cent notes distinctly a "ricf
mans" bond. according to Louis B
Franklin. director of the war loan Or
ganization- He declared that unless .

afford to absorb the low interest notes
