Most nations making ready for war nrsi moDuize tneir man-power. usual order by first mobilizing its money-power. The reasons for this reversal are self evident. This coun try, not being a military power, did not have Its men ready for Immediate fighting. But, being the richest na tion in me worm, its wealth was ready for action. So, in its anxiety to make its might Immediately felt in the greatest war of all times, It be gan by marshalling its dollars. The Liberty Loan means Just what Its title Implies. It is our first bit add ed to the joint activitels of liberty loving nations to crush German auto cracy and all that it stands for. It Is our immediate substitute for an army. It Is our offering to renew the credit of the fighting allies so they may not be hampered in their grim task, until we shall be able to place our army alongside theirs In the tren ches. The Liberty Loan was authorized by Congress within three weeks of the date of our recognition of a state of war with Germany. It outlined the greatest financial program ever un dertaken by any nation on earth. It Authorized the .Secretary of the Treas t.ry to use Ihe credit of the nation to the extent of seven billions of dol lars five blllltus to be borrowed by the sale of bonds, and two billions of dollars of this money should be lonned to our European allies with out profit to the United States. It fix ed the interest rate at not to exceed .1 1-2 per cent and provided that If. ut iiny time during the war, the Uni ted States issued other loans at a higher rate, these bonds would be convertible at the higher rate. Secretary of the Treasury William G M-iAdoo immediately began to make available to the allies a portion of the credit repreqt-nted by the cer tificates of indebtedness. Through the machinery of the Federal Reserve System banks were asked to subscribe two hundred million dollars of this amount. The response was over whelming and the offering was al most Immediately repeated with the same result. Secretary McAdoo made immediate loans to the allies as fol lows: Great Britian $325,000,000; France f 100,000,000 and Italy f 100, 000,000. A program was outlined to extend additional credit at the rate of a hundred millon dollars a week. , This move Tor temporary relief completed, the Secretary of the Treas TORNADO TAKES .

It was the plan of Secretary McAdoo to ' make this loan representative of the spirit 1 of the people and to that end he de creed that the bonds should be Issued in as small as $50 denominations so that the laborer, the man in the street and the shop girl might participate In It along with the banker, the broker and the merchant. In this particular , it was kept true to its name a loan in which all the lovers of liberty could participate. v .. . Offers to buy bonds did not consti tute the only. evidence of the nation's . enthusiasm an,d loyalty. The offers to perform active service In making the " loan a success were overwhelmlng.The law creating this loan provided that no commissions for the sale of bonds should be paid; but this restriction was superfluous. Bond brokers, bank- ers, Investment" houses, merchants, " express companies and others volun- iteered to buy. the. bonds outright and let their employees repurchase them, on the Instalment plan. To further, exemplify the' popular character of -the loan, Secretary McAdoo created ft woman's committee to assist In the ' sale and distribution of the bonds.
