the interest rate Of the new issue
would not greatly exceed per cent,
and that they should be spread over

done, says he, war bonds would be on

the huge amount now held by the

100000 of our citizens, it is appar-
nt,that any suggestion to restore the

lost through depreciation Of the mar
ket command the immediate attention
of vast number Of people.
Zone Of the most recent authorities
TO discuss the matter is Mr.. II. n.
Lawrie, an economist of Washington.
He declares that at the present time
some 5000, 100000 Of war bonds are
lying idle in the banks Of the country.
They represent bonds placed upon the
market and not actually sold to in
vestors, but which the banks were
forced to absorb. Mr.. Lawrie estimates
that the retention of such large vol
ume Of undigested war paper in the
banks is consuming fifty per cent Of
the normal potential banking re-
sources Of the country He contends
that the reason why the bonds have
not been taken up by the public is
that they carry an interest rate that
is not competitive with other inves-
ments in the bond market, and that

1T has been demonstrated by cx-

by far the most economical from the
standpoint Of the issuing authority.
The State Of Massachusetts has passed
"a law that all municipal indebtedness
in the future shall take the form Of
serial issues, and other States and
some cities in Canada have adopted
similar policies During the debate on
the Fourth Liberty Bond Act in the

Massachusetts urged the serial meth
cd, demonstrating by comparative
tables the economies Of the serial over
the antiquated sinking fund system.

II is apparent that the means are at
hand for him to carry out the sugges-
tion in his speech of acceptance. A

is valuable in calling the peoples at
