The United States government has
alnesdy retired one twentieth OF the
entire war bond issue, Treasury De-
partment officials announced today.
Liberty bond holders today were
rsassured that they possess the "ssf-
est investment on earth" in spite OF
low market quotations. Treasury Of
ncials. In survey, designed TO
answer a mood OF inquiries from
anxious holders disturbed by the low
marks at which bonds are being sold
gave encouragement to present hold
ers and 10 prospective investors
The Treasury, II was announced.
has purchased and retired a total OF
81 .05s, 900. 900 OF Liberty and Victory
bonds. The total amount OF all issues,
Including the four Liberty and the
Victory bonds, was $40. .632. 900 900.
There now Is outstanding In Liberty
and Victory bonds. as part OF the
total OF s1o.5T3.61s, 900.
The most optimistic OF officials who
are fully conversant with the situa-
tion would not Venture a guess that
the Government would be able to re-
tire the funded war debt of the
United States in less than twenty
nve years. IL was said not to be
improbable that still greater
amount OF bonds of all issues would
be bought up and retired. II that is
deemed necessary to give better sup
port to the market for these secure
ties.
BIG DEPRECIATION.
On the basis OF present quotations.
IL was freely admitted that of the
total Liberty and Victory bonds now
outstanding, there has been a de-
probation OF a approximately 81 1,500,-
OO0, 900. Some officials believed the
drop below par value might even ex-
ceed that nEure. But this does not
disturb the firm belief OF the Treas
ury that all holders who retain their
bonds will see their securities rise
steadily in value before a very con-
siderable period has elapsed. This
confidence is shared by practically all
of the higher officials in most inti-
mate touch with the country's financ-
ial condition.
WEALTHY MEN BUYING.
Treasury officials were informed
that the bulk of bonds OF various
issues dumped upon the market by
small holders have quickly been
bought up by men of wealth or
corporations, eager to secure posses
sion OF them for their investment
qualities. No fgures are available to
show just what proportion OF the
bonds are now held by the wealthy
