MASSES SHOULD SUPPORT LOAN

By HARRY PRATT JUDSON,

President, University of Chicago. I trust that this loan will meet a very wide subscription In small amounts. One of the fundamental elements In the stability of the financial condition of the French Republic Is the fact that the national loans are taken up In small amounts by persons who are able In that way to put away their savings with a sense of entire security. Such a policy adopted here In the first place would make It possible for government loans to be placed rapidly and effectively. In the second place, it would be a distinct encouragement to thrift, providing a ready and safe investment for small savings. In the next place, It stabilizes the entire condition of the republic. Every investor in the national securities Is thereby a financial partner In the national prosperity. I believe that few things, therefore, could be more effective for the benefit of the nation than the rapid placing of this second Liberty loan among the masses of the people in small amounts.
