For the Nation’s Honor, Don’t Let the [non Foil, .
Secretary Glass Urges, Admitting Apprehension
‘
VI'ASHING’I‘ON. D.'C.. May5.~—I would be‘ lacking in frankness
if I did not tell you that the Treasury Department is apprehensive
cconcerning the Victory Liberty Loan. In view of this serious situa-
tion. as Secretary of the Treasury and as a, fellow newspaper pub-
lisher, l appeal to you to help impress upon your readers the ur-
gency of subscribing to this loan by publishing in your editions of
Monday in a first page box, if possible. the following message:
The Victory Liberty Loan campaign is twothirds over. but sub-
scriptions have been reported for little more than one-third of the.
loan. .
is it conceivable that the American people. who with heart and
soul staged the fight for freedom. will permit this loan of Victory :
and thanksgiving to .lall?
Our sons gave of their health. of their strength. and of their
lives that freedom might not perish. There are one and a. half mil-
lion American boys in Franco and Germany. Now that the wor is end-
mld bees reasonable for them to dishonor the notion hm de-
sertiug the flag as for the notion to dishonor itself by decoding
them. Is it a large thingr that We are now asked to lend our money
to pay the cost of victory ? ls American money less willing than A.-
erican manhood? ‘ V"
Let every one of the millions who have bought Liberty bonds
buy Victory notes .and success is sure.
CARTER GLASS. Secretary of the Treasury.
