" 'While our. men were in France fighting to make the world safe for democracy and’ to retain our . country under its own sovereignty, the people were asked to buy government bonds.* They were even urged to buy clear up to the limit. i Campaigns and drives were conducted to induce ghe public to disgorge its savings and deposit them Jm the public hopper. Even the fighting -men tlum- their quota. Americans of every class responded nobly. dreds’ of; thousands denying themselves jn ‘their . patriotic’ endeavors to aid in the. proncnfln of - the war. Our own community contributed liberally, as did every other section of the country.. . The public was allowed to bélieye that their bonds would bethe safest kind of an investment; always at par and possibly soon at a premium.. .- 3 They bought and kept on buymg-g-hoam they Joved their country and had fsith in Hncle Sam. ' But now they are gufllunonpd—@i;tru.ing‘y 80. They find ‘that their’ bonds:‘are not above par, | . that they are not/at par, but have ahrunk in v:lue %o considerably below par.: ” They receive a.low rate o! interest,: and ‘can not dispose of a smgle hand without a financial sacrifice. ' The public in'general is not saying much, but it is doing: & lot. of hard thinking. It is sore and dis- . gusted and does miot disguise the ‘fact. There are even intimations that some ‘day the’ government eult ‘time in finding pnrchuen. The pubhc will not care to be singed twice in the same place. There is, however, a remedy—ll congteu ‘will . apply it } Let these bonds be phced by law ‘on the same hsu & our natignal currency—at par vllde—with the interest retained. Then let it be made a erim- .ina] offense for any person ot ‘corporation to refuse to aecept a bond at ‘par value,. plus the interest. _ that has accrued to date. ' Orin lieu of this, let the " mterest ‘on these bonds be raised by act of con- %‘to six' per cent, thus placing the bonds on : a par vith ‘real estate mortglm and other invsat- ifta cmzen uses the mnls to misrepment a bond o¢ block of stock that he is endeavoring to sell’ he v‘olltes the law and the government sends him q jml =y AXORAWGE TDITOM) WHAT OTHERS SAY ABOUT Us.
