Secretary of the Treasury Mellon
has made every possible effort to call
the attention of holders of Victory
bonds to the fact that certain bonds
were called and were payable Deem
Der Is, after which date interest
ceased. Nevertheless there are mil
lions of dollars of the bonds that have
not been presented for payment, pre-
sumably through oversight. If you
don't need the money Uncle Sam will
be glad to keep it for you, but he
would be glad to exchange a called
bond for another that will bear in
terest. And in most cases the interest
would probably not come in amiss.

Judging from Governor Moore's
initial moves, be is going to be pretty
much his own governor. There is
little doubt that he will find plenty
of advice available. Some of it will
come from ultra-conservatives and
some from progressives. Some of it
will ge good and some of it bad, and
some of it just simply worthless. The
governor will probably be able to dis
cern the good from the bad and the
practical from the impractical. We
take it that he is a man of pretty
fair judgment and that he will not be
stampeded by any alleged bosses or
others.
Henry Ford's idea is to extend his
activities until there are jobs for
everybody. The idea ought to work
out all right. With a job for every
man, every man ought to be able to
buy a Ford and the Fords will go
Into the discard from time to time
and new ones be necessary, SO that
the performance should be a continu-
GUS one. ~ : \
