McADOO APPEALS TO
FARMERS TO BUY BONDS
Twenty Million Subscribers Needed To
Make Third Liberty Loan
Complete Success
Atlanta.—“ Tho more people who buy
SSO bonds and slofc bonds and S6OO
Loads, the better it is for America
and the more discouraging it is to our
enemies!”
This 1* the message which Secretary
oi the Treasury MoAdoo boro to the
people of tha Sixth Federal Reserve
District in bis tour of the district last
week ia the interest of the thfrd Lib
erty Bond campaign.
Speaking before thousands of people
in six cities of the Southeast, the Sec
retary was cheered to the echo by hla
immense audfenees, as he told of the
needs of the government, the character
of the bonds, and made a starring plea
for every man, woman and child in
the district to get into this war which
in now being waged for their liberties,
if only by the purchase of the smallest
bond.
Mr. MoAdoo made it plain that with
out the aid of the fanners of the
South, of the merchants and profes
sional men and all the laboring classes,
the third loan would be a failure,
which would be worse than a Orman
defeat.
“The banks must perform their nec
essary functions and keep their funds
in liquid form to supply credits to the
industries engaged In the manufacture
of munitions of war and in carrying
on the general business of the country,
and we must not take all the funds out
o: these banks,” he continued.
Want Twenty Million Buyers
“Do you know, it would be a most
impressive thing if we could say to
the Kaiser that not 9,600,000 Ameri
can oltizans, as in the last, loan, had
subscribed, but that this issue was
taken by fifteen or twenty million of
American citizen'!”
In his speech, .hich rang from one
end of the district to the other, the
lead of the treasury traced the part
which America has flayed in her one
year of war; how she was forced into
die struggle against her wish, and
only took up arms after all her sacred
rights had been contravened by the
unprincipled Hun. He told how the
American flag w as ordered off the high
<eas by Berlin, and how the only Amer
ican ships that were allowed to sail
would have had to be painted Tike a
barber pole in order to escape the tor
pedoes of the submarines.
In defense of freedom and the
world’s liberty, America has in one
vhort year marshalled her resources to
a wonderful extent, and now at this
Treat crisis, when the supreme strug
<les are being waged in Picardy and
nir allies are cry ng for more men
and supplies, it is our problem to
mobilize America’s m:*rht for the bat
tlefield as quickly and effectively as
oossible. The only way this can be
lone is through the Liberty Loan;
through the subscriptions which mnst
rente from the rank and file of the
people of America.
Appealed to Women.
Mr. McAuoo spoke of the tine work
that is being done by the women of
the nation, and urged them on to
greater efforts. He stressed the abso
lute necessity for saving, both food
;ind materials of clothing, that our
armies may be fed and our allies sup
plied. He insisted that the people of
ihis country must learn to sacrifice in
order that the war may be won.
"We must realize that we are really
in this war, and that war does mean
sacrifice,’* the secretary emphasized
'We must learn in the second year
of the war that we must not indulge
mrselves to the extent that we have
it; the past. We must purify our souls
nod fortify our souls for this great
ind mighty contest which is now pro
ceeding upon the battlefields of Pi
cardy. And the extent to which we do
that is the extent to which we are go
ing to help ourselves.
“1 have been told by some people
that the rate of interest on Liberty
Bonds is too low, and, therefore, we
could not rely upon the patriotism of
the American people to buy these
bonds. I have been urged to make
the rate of interest higher than it Is
today, in order that the bonds might
sell more readily. I do not believe,
my friends, that it is necessary to
raise the rate of interest on the bonds
in order to sell them. 1 do not believe
that the patriotism of America is ex
pressed in the rate of interest on a
lovernment Bond. I do not believe
that the American dollar is a fugitive
and must be chased by high rates of
interest when the government's credit
is back of them.
"I want to tell you, fellow-citizens,
because this is your problem, as well
as mine, that if we do not all take
an intelligent stand now in favor of
keeping the rate of interest on gov
ernment bonds stabilized at 4V* per
annum, unless we are willing to make
a fight to preserve the Government's
credit upon that basis, then it is go
ing to be the most unfortunate thing
that can possibly,happen, to the Amer
ican people. We have got to make it
clear to every man, t<T every woman,
and to every child who buys a govern
ment bond, that while it may be true
that they could invest their money in
something else that would pay a larger
return, they cau invest their money
in nothing else that is so full of blood
and necessity as a United States Gov
ernment Bond. If wo do the wrong
tiling at tins time, it comes back to
you.”
The response to Secretary McAdoo’s
appeal in this territory has been im
mediate. Wherever he appeared, the
sales have been bop: ted to a wonder
ful extent. It is now the duty of ev
ery man. woman and child in the
Sixth district who e.rds lis words to
make his or her subscription without
delay through the local Liberty Loan
committee.
More than a billion dollars of Amer
ican agricultural extorts were sold to
the European nations at war with Ger
many during 1917 Had this nation
maintained peace at the price of obedi
ence to the German war /.one decree,
this market would have b°-n closed
billion dollars’ worth of agri
cultural products would, most of them,
