McADOO AGAIN REFUTED

Complete refutation of many of the assertions of W.
G. cAdoo concerning operation of the railroads while
he was Director demonstrates that he knows little about

Now let's see what later done in the way OF

been going Europe for nearly three years. the United
States entered conflict sold it's first bond issue of
nearly $2OOOOOOOOO at 9 cent The greater part of
the $2300000000O of bonds sold at an
average than Az cent at time when all the
world was bidding for money.
It may said that these bonds sold under the
appeal to patriotism and not their merits securities
It may admitted that considerable part of the
purchases the bonds inspired by patriotism, but
sale their merits investments to the amount of more
than double that proposed for highway inn
