New Defense
Securities
_ i
(Cincinnati Enquirer)
The Treasury Department’s de
cision to offer for sale new de
fense securities graded in denom
inations from 10 cents to $10,003
is calculated to meet an unavoid
able financial problem, and to
meet it in a way that will be
socially and psychologically
sound.
That the Treasury means to
conduct a selling campaign rival
ing Liberty Bond drives of World
War days is apparent from re
ports that 500,000 persons will b
enrolled for the task, and that
solicitors will canvass not only
individuals but large-scale em
ployers, labor unions, schools,
and a host of other groups and
organizations.
0 This means of selling the new
securities will insure broad pub
lic participation. From a psycho
logical point of view such an ex-!
tensive basis of support is desir
Ebl:. It will bring home to every
one that the defense effort de
pends upon him personally. It
will make for a sense of sharing
that will add vitality to this tre
mendous enterprise.
The program also will have de
sirable social consequences. By
inducing people to save instead
of spned to the hilt, it will pro
vide a brake against inflation.
Further, direct sales to individ
ual investors will drain off extra
money put into circulation by
Federal spending, helping *to
keep this n w income out of mar
kets that compete with the arm
ament program.
Treasury officials are represent
cd as believing that from $3,000.
000.000 to almost $5,000,000,000
worth of the new defense secur-•
iti s can be sold within the first
14 months of their issue. Consid
ering the astrcmonical cost of tire
armament effort which the Unit
ed States has urftertaken, this
will not be, relatively, a larg'
sum. But it will obviate to some
extent the dang rs inherent in
other forms of borrowing ,aod
will ease in part of burden of
taxation.
Current Comments
From Washington
c
Acting upon the theory that
Congress carries out the will of
the electorate, the people must
be behind the British aid appro
priation. The vote stood 336 for,
and 55 against. Party lines do not
seem to hav had much to do
with the result ,the Democratic
pell being 231 to 6, and the Re
publican poll 104 to 45, the
Farmer - Labor , American-Labor
and Progressive representatives
being divided in opinion. Op
nosition included more than a
dozen proposed amendments,
upon which the axe descend
ed so abruptly that the out
come -could be prophesied to
a practical certainty. It is ex
pected that Senate endorsement
of the House action will b rea
sonably prompt, though land-life
approval end lack of dissenting
voices are not looked for as char
acteristics of the action in the
upper legislative body.
Seven billion dollars is a large
sum of money. The list of ear
markings is too Ion’ t be quoted
but there seems to be many dir
•etions in which the expenditur
es may be directed legitimately.
Some surprise will be caused by
the fact that the sum set aside
for ordnance, ammunition and ar
mor is slightly less than that for
agricultural, industrial and other
commoditi s. Yet a s'Idier with
a bare bark and an mptv ste
nch is not much good, and it is
wise to supply beans and socks,
a, well as bullets and ships.
The Scripture is au hori‘y Li
the statement that affliction com
eth not forth from the uu-L nei
ther doth trouble spring out of
the ground. Likewise, it is not
n - ble to plant nickels in the
spring, and harv si dollars in the
fall. So it happens that the Trea
sury Department has been cast
■ '% about for an effect.ve means
to get cash that will be necessary
in connection with the defense
system and th seven billion aid
for England. The undertaking is
the greatest of its kind since
World War times. Fifteen billion

in fifteen months is the goal that
has been set.
The so-called Baby Bonds will
be supplanted by oth rs of three
different sorts, all subject to tax
ation.by the Federal Govern
ment, and not capable of being
•i ghiated. There will be Savings
Ronds, sold at par and yielding a
return to 2]> perc nt. Another
form of Savings Bond will be
offered, to be sold for 74 percent
of maturity value a"d running
for 12 years, without interest.
This issue is intended primarily
f " the small investor. The third
i’ s is made up of the D fense
Savings Bonds, due in ten years,
off• rod a: 75 percent of matur
ity value, and to be adeemed
■ maturity at a value which will

than a dime can do his part*The
post offices will sell savings

d:mc to five dollars, a full stamp

for a bond of corresponding val
ue.
After talking for years abou*
the matter, the United States
and Canada have reached the con
elusion that the deepening of the
Sk Lawrence Riv r, to provide a
v i.v from the Great Lakes to the
sea, must proceed at once. Al
though intended primarily as an
aid to commerce, the trend of
current though requires that a
waterway to the Gr at Lakes,
having t!ie proportions of (he Pan
a ia Canal, should be viewed in
its military and naval aspects a
wall. If an American warship
can be built in the inland seeur
ty of Duluth aid be floa.ed to
he sea, it is true offhand that
