"Worthless r-ccuritics arc being offered in exchange for liberty Bonds by certain questionable companies whose activities have reached such a point as to receive partk-ular attention from the Liberty Loan organizations and Federal Reserve Banks. The efforts of certain stock salesmen and promoters to float issues of stock by taking in exchange Liberty Bonds may result disastrously for Liberty Bond holders whoso financial knowledge is not sufficient to protect them from fallacious arguments of salesmen who advocate the promotion of new companies to "'stimulate production." 1 The practice of exchanging stocks for Liberty Bonds is specifically disapproved by the Treasury Department, both because of the dancer to the small bond holder and the conversion of Liberty Bonds into a paper currency. The Treasury Department is compelled to characterize any continuance of it as an act unfriendly to the government. If any such cases come to your notice, please advise promptly, giving name of company issuing the stock which is being offered, its address, name of the salesman, and of the officers of the company, if you can get them. Better wire your report so further activity may be quickly stopped. ' ... liammond Clearing; House Association
