PAGE FOUR BRITAIN STARTED WAR STAMP IDEA Interesting Comparisons Between Systems in America and England. -~ BRITISH PRICE ALWAYS SAME Stamp Is Dated' When Purchased and fs Due Exactly Five Years From Date—War Savings Socleties $ Are Popular. ‘Washington.—An interesting com- parison between the systems of War Savings stamps in Great Britaln and America is made by the savings divi- sion of the United States treasury. England had been selling War Sav:| ings certificates for more than a year before this attractive form of invest- ment was offered to the people of the United States. This country has had: the advantage of the Britons' experi- ence in this field, and while the two savings stamps are alike in most re- spects, there are a few Interesting dif- ferences. The British War Savings stamp Is dated when purchased and Is due ex-'} actly five years from that date. This enables them to sell the certificates al- _.~ways for the same—15s. 6d. ($8.83). " The American War Savings stamps are issued in annual sermes, and each serles has a uniform date of issuance and of maturity. The present rate is kept uniform by increasing the pur- | chase price one cent each month. This means that all of the 1919 War Savings stamps will mature in January, 1924, | while in three or four years British War Savings stamps will begin coming | up for redemption in varylng amounts each day. The British System. The British have devolved the sys- tem of purchasing the regular sixpence postage stamps, which are pasted on a card until 31 are obtained. Then the card 18 exchanged for a War Savings certificate. Americans, on the other hand, can purchase a 23-cent Thrift stamp, and thus gradually accumulate the required 16 stamps necessary to purchase 2 War Savings stamp, add- ing, of cburse, the necessary amount according to the month, namely, 12 cents for January or 23 cents for De- cember, War Savings socleties, or associa- tlons as the British term them, are very numerous- in the British Isles.

Whenever the secretary finds. 15s. 6d. or more in the treasury he immediately purchases one or more War Savings certificates for his soclety, so that the certificates be- gin to draw interest. As soon as a number of persons have 'completed their payments 1t is customary té draw lots for the advantage of the earliest dated certificates In the association treasury. Thus, the lucky person' may obtain a certificate which has' been uccumnlatlng interest for weeks pos- sibly, while'the last stamp drawn will, of course, be only a few days old. These associations, which are estab- lished in churches, schools, shops and factories, give interest and a bit of competition to saving while the week- ly drawings add a touch of cxdt& ment. Exempt From Taxation. Both British Savings certificates and American War Savings stamps are ex- empt from taxation, and for this and ‘other reasons there ts a lmitation to the amount that may be held by ode individual. In the early war days in Englsnd persons with income exceed- ing $1,600 were not permitted to buy Savings stamps. This condition was later changed so that anyone may hold Savings certificates up to about $2,500 maturlty value. In the United States one individual may not hold more than $1,000 of any one series. In both countries there is no limitation preventing each member of & family from holding the prescribed limit.
