during the forthcoming victory LIB
erty Loan campaign is nearly COM
pletcd. Benjamin Strong, chairman of
the Liberty Loan Committee, an
the eighty-four men whom he had in
vited to act as chairman of the sub
committees of the advisory trades
committee had already accepted
The Rainbow Division as the bust
ness committees were popularity known
during the previous drives, reaches
more than 10000 firms, and purposes
in the next campaign to canvass more
than 100000 persons and bring to
them q new message of patriotic duty
Craig Colgate, who during the last
campaign WAS vice-chairman of this
committee, will act as chairman dur
ing the Victory Liberty Loan cam
palgn, which opens on April 21.
and George B. de Greene, formerly
its chairman, is now chairman of the
New York City Liberty Loan Commit
tee, which includes the advisory trades
committee.
In explaining precisely how the bust
ness mems committee fits into the gen.
eral strategy Of the drive, Mr.. de
Greene said:
''There is nothing spectacular in the
work of the advisory trade committee.
Our work is largely q matter of dig
glng-of keeping eternally at it. 1t is
our task to see that every business man
Is approached and solicited to do his
share in raising the money the gov
ernment needs. Previously we have
used the argument that it was his duty
to back up the fighters. This time we
shall endeavor to convince him, as
matter of good business, as we'll as pa
triotsm, that the war bills must be
paid promptly, in order to bring back
normal business conditions at the
earliest date
The plan, it was pointed out, is to
divide the various trades of the city
into classes, according to their re-
sources and potential subscribing
campaigns. To each group a quota is
assigned, based on its share of the de-
sired total. The competitive instinct
is to be called into play by setting one
group off against another. In the
fourth loan campaign the "Rainbow
Division" placed subscriptions amount
ing to $1,O6O,907 ,409 through the work
of its solicitors.
The various trades will be divided
into classes, according to their re-
sources. Glass A will include those
graded at $1O,OO0,O0O and upward;
Glass B those from $1,000, 900 to $10,-
100000; Class those up to $2,000000
Under the chairman of the commit
tee works a group of eight sponsors,
each in charge Of number of trade
groups. In tho Victory Loan these
sponsors will be Arthur B. Holden, of
Hathaway, Smith, Folds &: Company;
Cecil d. Landale; Morris K: Parker,
