Men and Business
By RICHARD SPILLANE.

Representative MaEee, Of New
York, has introduced a resolution
into Congress for an investigation
as to why the market value Of
Liberty bonds is so deprecated. Il
suggests that the committee recon-
mend hNed policy not only for
the protection OF present holders
OF bonds. but in regard TO further
bond issues. and that the question
Of taNstion exemption or increase
in the interest rate be studied.
Mr.. Magee says the government
owes an obligation TO the large
number OF holders who bought lib
erty bonds out OF patriotism and
who cannot understand their de-
basement Definite action by Con-
gress to correct whatever is wrong
or announcement by Congress Of a
definite program as to further is
sues. nc declares. would help to re-
establish public confidence.
1t is strange that some such res
olution was not introduced before
One feature the investigating
committee is likely to criticize
sharply is that OF the government
buying in the open market liberty
government by this action takes
advantage OF the necessities or the
fears of the people who bought
bonds in response to the govern
ment's appeal in war days for
funds.
Such a price as liberty bonds sell
at today would not be possible but
for their wide distribution among
bond and who. in not q few in
stances. have neither patience nor
the habit of thrift This class OF
persons has been preyed upon BY
sharpeTs.
