Show ANOTHER LIBERTY LOAN COMING Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo has announced that, no matter what the results of the pending overtures 'for peace may be, there will be another an-other Liberty loan. To use his expression, ex-pression, "We are going to have to finance peace for a while just as we have had to finance war." There are over 2,000,000 United States soldiers abroad. If we trans, port these men back to the United States at the rate of 300,000 a month it will be over half a year before they are all returned. Our Army therefore, must be maintained, victualed, vic-tualed, and clothed for many months after peace is an actuality. The American people,- therefore, having supported the Liberty loan with a patriotism that future historians histor-ians will love to extol, will have an opportunity to show the same patriotism patriot-ism in financing the iust and conclu sive victorious peace whenever it comes. Not for a moment, however, is the Treasury acting on any assumption that peace is to come sooin. Until peace is actually assured the attitude of 'the Treasury and the attitude of .the whole United States Government Govern-ment is for the most vigorous prosecution pro-secution of the war, and the motto of force against Germany without stint or limit will be acted up to until peace is an absolute accomplished accomplish-ed fact. One more Liberty loan, at least, is certain. The fourth loan was popularly popu-larly called the "Fighting Loan"; the next loan may be a fighting loan, too, or it may be a peace loan. Whatever the conditions, the loan must be prepared pre-pared for and its success rendered certain and absolute. Begin now to prepare to support it. W.S.S. |
