Having in past loans "given the lie to the sneers and taunts of our adversaries that we are a mere nation of ' money-makers in terested only in profits," .belief was expressed by Secretary .Daniels In an address today before the American Bankers' Association that the Ameri can people in the fourth. Liberty loan will demonstrate again - that "Ameri cans have left" the valley of money getting and have reached the heights of money-giving." In the " light of -the three previous loans Mr. Daniels told the bankers the I nation knows the financial interests need no arousing, o ever greater ef forts in the future," and that again the bankers will "manifest! leadership in' buying' bonds- and organizing vic torious Liberty' loan committees.' 'We are reling with absolute con fidence: which comes from past, exper iences upon you bankers to make it an even .greater, success than those vhich have preceded," ; Secretary Daniels said in. referring to the opening ofv , the fourth loan campaign tomorrow and to the part in it to .be taken by the bankers. "Splendidly have you 'met your calls for aid in the past, even more splendid ly will you meet your call of the pres ent." : : ,i Speaking of Americans turning, aside from money making; the 'secretary said: "Our passion was not money even when -we gave most of our time to getting it and- hoarding, it. Our real passion was achievement and ac complishment. Dollars represented success and progress and national de velopment. .'And underneath: this' am bition for power,' there 'was something deeper and stronger in our national character.-Sometimes ;lt was so sub merged that we even ourselves did: not appreciate 'the truth that as a people it ,is .not dollars but-sentiment that is king and ruler in America: "But one day-there came the possi ble vision ' .of - Amerccan ideals under the heel of German materialism.' It came like a flash and just as suddenly there came a -revelation alike to' the bankers and money . kings . as it came to the man of farm and. in factory." In pointing to-the-; present "prosper ity: of the country v despite -more than a year of war; Mr Daniels said- there was cause, for: gratification; in the 'fact that ' the r bankers ' could ' attend their convention -. with-- no 4 f ear- -of,-i panics at home i with no anxious inquiries after possible ' telegramsi of j financial troubles at. the ; hotel' desk;; with s bal ance, sheets-of actual profits: more sat isfactory than they, have' - ever - been before, .as undisturbed; s as, unafraid as . if. we were in : the middle- of the", "pip ing- times or . peaee.-; SECRETARY TTT1 X T Th TVTT Tt 1TT rxrt wmmsm&m US A NS WER : PEACE EFFORTS Declares Price of Peace Will .
