Remaining 4th Liberties Called1
Washington. Secretary of the
Treasury Morgenthau has called as of
next October 16th,' $1,250,000,000 of
the Fourth Liberty Loan bonds," the
last outstanding of this issue. With
the completion of ' this move, more
than six billion dollars of war finan
cing has been retired or refunded, re-,
ducing the carrying charges to the
Government to slightly under 3 per
cent from a level heretofore well in
excess of 4 Jer cent. The Treasury
estimates that this gigantic refund
ing operation has saved Uncle Sam
1100,000,000 in interest charges; also
declares that "the financial log-jam
has been broken, and there, is no
longer any reason why capital should
not now nomally into the arteries of
business."
Cheap Hospitalization
xxew xore javer since tie an
nouncement of its plan, the Associat
ed Hospital Service has been swamp
ed with inquiries about its new
scheme of "hospitalization without red
tape." The 'plan is like insurance; a
group of ten or more agree to pay
$10 each per year, or 3 cents a day.
The fund thus created pays the hos
pital bill when required. Half jf any
group must be employed; all must be
in good health, under 65 years and
living within 50 miles of New York.
Similar units are in operation in 30
other American cities; 4,000,000 par
ticipate in the plan in the British
Isles. The association
