viii tho Government Keep Faith2

WITHOUT impeaching the loyalty OF the
w American public il may be asked: TX
the United States were plunged suddenly
into war with frst-class power, where
would ii get the money to insure its sue
cessfu prosecution? Would the American
people absorb gigantic bond issue as they
did when the various issues of Liberty and
Victory bonds were placed before them
with pleas that they dig deep down into
their pockets and reap the profits OF the
"soundcst investment on carth?'
Liberty and Victory bonds still arc the
"soundcst investment on GARTH Let no
one question that. but who is rcaping the
profits? Not tho tens of thousands OF
confding men and women and children of
limited means who took the government at
its word and exhausted their savings and
then borrowed more from lenient and
obliging banks that they might help their
warning nation. No. il Is the men OF
wealth. to whom few thousands or even
hundreds of thousands of dollars, makes
little difference. and tho great corporations
which are picking up these bonds. forced
from the hands of the original holders, for
comparative song. and can afford to hold
them until the market rises or until ma
turity, that are reaping the rich rewards.
Under the spccious guisc of checking in
fation the Federal Reserve Board has
raised the bars against commercial paper
secured by Liberty and Victory bonds, and
the banks have been compelled to dony &C
commocations to customers. Again the dis
count rate has been raised and II now flood
OF bonds may have TO be sacrificed by
holders who have their daily expenses TO
meet. and they, too, will he gobbled up
by rich investors.
y checking of imitation IS wise and neces-
sary, but the government, If il would not
lie longer under the charge Of betraying the
public trust, must find where to draw the
line between checking speculation and rob-
bling tho holders of bonds who may find
1t Imperative to have money for legitimate
purposes. The Federal reserve banks. in
stead of arbitrarily raising the bars in
large measure could we'll leave the matter
of loans secured by Liberty bonds 10 the
member banks with tho ndmonition that n
proper discretion be observed. The mod
ern banker knows his customers, he knows
local conditions and in ninety-nine cases
out of 100 he could be depended on to
guide funds loaned by his bank into legiti-
mate constructive channels. In the mean
time, tho governments failure to control
the market is destroying confidence. and
impeding progress 1T Is making the rich
richer and tho poor poorer.

SO urgent was tho need for rapid production
