propose to use strong ann methods later 10 force the
bonds out Of the hands of the people" II that sort
of declaration had been made. buyers of bonds would
have no reason to complain The Board cannot plead
ignorance of the effects of its action, for it said in
its report for 1920 that It has never failed to take
account of the consequences of its discount policies"
ard later that it was prepared, as soon as the Treas
ury exigeneies permitted. to resort to the wellknown
method of advancing the rate Of discount"
The inquiry as 10 whether any one is giving SYM
pathetic thought to victims of the strong arm meth
DDS, is easily answered. During the campaign of 1920
Mr.. Harding promised that in case of his election,
he would do an in his power to bring Liberty bonds
back to par. His first step in that direction was the
of Andrew W. Mellon as Secretary of
the Treasury. Mr.. Mellon is the direct opposite of
MeAdoo in almost every respect McAdoo was al
ways trying to get into the lme-light; Mellon is
quiet and retiring. McAdoo wanted his name printed
on every document or bulletin or menu or poster is
sued by any bureau or board with which ne was con-
nected. Mr.. Mellon cares not a whit for publicity.
Mr.. McAdoo knew little about finance; Mr.. Mellon
is one of the ablest financiers in the world. Every
act Of the Mellon administration of the Treasury De-
partment has helped to bring Liberty bonds back to
par. Besides putting an able man at the head of the
Treasury Department Harding has helped restore
bonds to par by helping reduce government expendi-
lures steering clear Of socialistic activities, and keep
ing the nation out of foreign entangiements. Every
member of the Republican administration has had a
sympathetic thought for the victims of the strong
srm methods of the Democratic regime.

! More Coperrpnenh O,pnership

CHAIRMAN LASKER of the Shipping Board, in a
" recent statement, made emphatic two points. The
United States is operating its merchant ships at a loss;
and by competing with privately owned merchant
ships the government is delaying the establishment
of an adequate privately owned merchant marine.
In his statement Mr.. Lasker says:
I'VE find ourselves today with the government
owning Lap steel ships aggregating 7.0oo,0oo gross
tons, operating 421 Of these ships at an estimated
cost TO the treasury the coming year of $50, o0o, 900,
with 992 ships tied up; we find private operations as
well being conducted at startling losses.
'The purpose of government operation, as defined
by law. was to build up trade routes in order that the
government ships might thus be sold with established
good will to private owners. The very method chosen
has worked to defeat its own purpose for in the up
building of those routes the government has operated
ships and in the operation of ships has driven its po-
tential customers largely off the seas.
"A method must be devised whereby the govern
ment shall end its operation and at the same time
insure carriage of American goods under the American
flag through private ownership as contemplated by
the Jones act.
Europe owes us, governmentally and privately
some fifteen billion dollars. To pay in gold is i'm
possible. The only way Europe can pay Ito such
extent as she may pay) will be in goods. In turn.
we must find new markets. These newer markets lie
across the ocean; to the south in the Western Henri
sphere; to the east. in China and Siberia. 1t is the
very neeo of trade in these markets that is the in

Burglary Insurance

THE C. DEPARTMENT of the United States
l. says the court dockets show that the American
people were swindled out of $140.000.0o0 last year
by sale of bogus securities.
Attorney General Daugherty says it would take
ore judge a million years to hear the cases and in the
meantime a million new suckers cases would be filed
for stock swindles each year.
This type of swindler is called a stock burglar,
selling questionable securities, getting money out of
people by so-caIled promotion enterprises, and even
bond sales.
A very simple remedy for ignorance of values of
stocks, bonds, gold notes. etc. would be to have a talk
with a banker in whom you have confidence and who
is naturally conservative.
If a banker were not conservative about such mat
tiers he would not remain very long in the banking
business, and he is the only policeman against the
financial burglar.

Strong Arm Stuff

ONE OF n FLoSSY Democratic political writer's
" asks, SIS anyone giving a sympathetic thought to
those unfortunate patriots who. in the hard pinched
hours of the depression that accompanied the strong
arm methods of deflation imposed upon US by our
financial mentors were forced to sacrifice their
bonds at the distressing depths of their depreciation?
our surprise. the only comment that can be made is
what an amazing question for a Democrat to raise
in view of the common knowledge as to the identity
of the financial mentors" who used the "stron arm
methods"
The Federal Reserve Board under Democratic
administration, exercised the strong arm and admits
it. On page ~ of its report for 1920, the Board says:
"The Board was prepared. as soon as Treasury ex-
igencies permitted. to resort to the well known
method of advancing the rate of discount" The
Board calls it the "wel-known" method, while the
Democratic spokesman calls it the "strong arm"
method. The Board had previously admitted that It
helped the Treasury Department float the Liberty
bonds at a low rate of interest, for it said: From
the outset, it (the Board) recognized its duty to CO.
operate unreservedly with the government to provide
funds needed for the war and freely conceded that
the great national emergency made 1t necessary to
suspend the application of wellrecognized principles
of economics and finance which usually govern bank
ing operations in times of peace"
There was probably nothing Improper in thus
helping the treasury sell Liberty bonds, hut the Board
should have been fair enough to advise the public
that it was only temporarily suspending application
of welrecognized principles. The Board should have
said plainly: 1--WE are using legerdemain methods
now to put bonds in the hands of the people but we

 In the four cylinder type there are five models which include the two passenger roadster, five passenger touring car. a three passenger coupe. the five passenger sedan. and the new five passenger touring sedan
 In all of the new six cylinder closed models, the Buick engineers have built appearance, comfort and smooth running into the car and every effort has been made to do away with noises so common to enclosed types. \ new low body suspension has been achieg- cal. together with 4 roof so construct ei that t presents a straight line view 10 The eye and has q new covering when is designed to prevent noise.
