The government has already put over a special “liberty loan” for the banks—treasury certifi- cates—which have been taken up exclusively by financial in- stitutions. $5,230,000,000, or over a bil- lion more than the entire Victory Loan, has been taken up in this way by the banks, and the final billion within the last 40 days! If banks invest now in order that the country may be saved the shame of having lain down, where will the money with which to carry on legitimate business come from? The banks cannot lend money if they use it to take up the lag- ging loan! PUT YOUR OWN LOAN OVER!
