HOW TO RESTORE
 LIBERTY BONDS TOPAR


 WASHINGTON.-proposing the se- rial bond plan as the best method of restoring Liberty bonds to par, the Republican Publicity c ia O n, through it's president, Hon. Jonathan Bourne, Jr., issues the following state ment from its Washington headquar- ters:
 CT believe,' said Senator Harding in his speech of acceptance, this gov ernment should make its Liberty and Victory bonds worth all that it's pa- triotic citizens paid in purchasing them There are probably 15,000,O00 bondhOlders in the country, and to then,s Senator Harding's statement brings encouragement that their se- curities will be enhanced in value about $1 800, 1000, 900, restoring the loss sustained through depreciation. The candidate implies that if he is elected he will do his utmost to restore to par the war obligations of the government.
 "And it is no idle reference he has made to the matter in the hope only of catching votes at the election. By the refunding of all the Liberty issues into single serial bond issue, bearing interest at the rate of 5A per cent, the market price would probably go immediately to par, the interest re- turn to bondholders would be increas- ed by from 19 to B per cent, the en- tire amount of the bonds would be re- tired by June 15, 1947, the latest date of any Liberty issue, and the whole transaction would cost the government no more than an adherence to the pres ent sinking fund method.
 "The conspicuous advantages of se- rial bonds over an issue having sin gle maturity date were strikingly set forth by former Senator John w. Weeks, of Massachusetts, in an ad- dress to the senate on September r, 1918, during the discussion of the Fourth Liberty loan act. At that time he demonstrated how billions of dol
