Only one In gledlent Is uet'Ctsa r.v, he ulil In effect, mill that In mill-lot bin. lint It Is well to have It stirred by Herman trlghtfiilnex. "The synchronization of Herman fiiaht fulness," lie said, "made the success if the Victory war loan certain." Jul ns Xeppelln attacks on London Matted the first Kteat rindi to the colors, the, German promise of undersea fright ful ness accentuated the greatest niKh to the pocketbook liny country ever caw. So In giving the people of 111 eat Hrltaln most of the credit for their stent financial effort, the Chancellor Insists that some credit he allotted to the promulgator of the right fulness campaign. He wan asked why he hail confidently uu- Ser.taken to raise the desired money with a romlie of a little more than S iter cent Interest when London's greatest financier hail declared It would be necessary to pay 8 per cent. FIOHTlNli IMtOBI.KM 'The banker, a wa natural, looked lit It as a financial problem." he said. "I didn't. I looked nt It a n fighting piohleui a war problem. I considered hat the peo ple, would do a a matter of patriotism, not as, a matter of nuance. Once they were made to see the fighting possibilities of the money we asked I wa sure they would not look twice at the iiiestlon of Intel e.1. Kventsj proved that to be the case." He could have added that the difference In Interest saved the empire more than $.". 000.000 a year. "There weie good reason for not allow ing the Interest rate to exceed 5 per -ent.' he .continued. "Through the necessity of keeping up our exchanges the value of all money on, the 1-dndon market has long been higher than It otherwise would have been Exchequer bond, bearing per cent, and Treasury hill, at fiU. weie issued up to the very day before the Issue of the loan It wa because of this high level of money that many financial men moot competent to Judge warned me that (he loan could not succeed at less than C per cent "It seemed to me. a Chancellor of the Exchequer, that to stereotype Mrltish credit nt a high figure like ti per cent would be h serious misfortune. It would be better even to risk a comparative failure of the loan As a matter of fact, however, I really did rjot cxpcc u failure in any degiee. I was hanking on the people of the country . "And I my belief the success of the loan should not be measured In the amount raised, but In the number of person who participated. Klght million, people hae a part In this, loan."

"What Mr. Wilson I long ing for we are' fighting for." "It Is Impos sible for Herman nature to understand human nature." All in this loan campaign. "How about It?" he wa asked. "Well, perhaps the war has changed me I sometimes" think It has chanced all Kng 1 land." Despite the naturally high Importance which he attaches to the financial aide of ' the war, the 'Chancellor I not convinced that It necessarily Is the controlling factor. CRKD1T XKCKSSAnV TO 1'IHIIT "The Allies, it -goes without saying, have greater financial resources than the Cen tral Power,' he observed. "Uuf a long a a country ha credit It cuu tight. ler many's resources! financial and otherwise, are virtually confined within her own bor ders.
