IN COMPLICATED CASE
WASHINGTON, l). C.. September 10-
Secretary McAdoo of the treasury de
partment, has issued a statement that
the campaign to sell the second issue
of Liberty bonds will close on the
first of November, 1917, and the active
campaign will begin October 1st.
The secretary explains that details
ot the second loan cannot be given out
until final action has been taekn by
congress upon the war bond bill now
pending, but announces that as soon as
e new law has been passed the de
tails will be given out.
The secretary txpresses the hope
that all existing Liberty loan commit
tees will perfect their organizations
and new organizations be effected in
readiness for the next campaign.
As in the first campaign the cam-*
paign in each federal reserve district
will be under the supervision of the
federal reserve board, which will act
a3 the fiscal agent of the government.
The question of whether the United
States government should engage in a
policy of paying for advertisement in
the newspapers has been much agitat
ed of late, especially in regard to the
selling of Liberty Loan bonds.* This
cia „ throughout me being a strictly money matter, the
“ all importations ot question comes up more squarely In
r, reaching the Unit- connection with it than with registra-
tion, food conservation or other gov
ernmental publicity.
Secretary McAdoo has issued a state
ment dealing with this matter. After

vertising patriotically given to the Lib
erty loan bonds in the first campaign

tie attributes in a very great degree to
the voluntary and patriotic work and
advertising space patriotically given
free to the government.
While acknowledging the tremendous
value of advertising tho secretary
points out that the relation of tho gov.
eminent to the press and to tho pub
lic generally is such that the question
of paid advertising by it presents
problem very much more complex than
k would he to a private enterprise.
The government cannot use the same
thorough discrimination as to the med

would exceed the appropriation avail
able under the existing law.

Mr. Pickett states that on account ot
business reasons ho iinds it impractica

politics, and for that reason he does
not consider it at all likely that he will
