recipe for inlslhg five billion dollar under
certain given circumstances. 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."
Addressing five hlg meeting In various
part of the country, he said. le wa
' astonished at the enthusiasm shown.
KNTIU'SIASM IlA.NlPA.NT
"I never bud seen anything like it. not
at the most enthusiastic party meetings."
he ilcclated, "This spirit of the peoplei
had the. greatest effect on people yf means.
The spontaneity with which the poor people
gave their little would have made It Im
possible for the wealthy to withhold the
needed big contributions, even If they hail
been o minded."
A search .through London newspaper
"morgues" had revealed that 'ills biogra
pher unanimously agreed Law .never had
coined an epigram. , '
Vet he whh the author of the appeal,:
"Are you going to give your sons and not
your money?" "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. But there I no evidence that Her
many ha lost or I likely soon to lose her
'credit with her own people. Her other le
source may give way sooner. Austria Is
less able to support herself alone, hut even
Austria la a country of great productivity.
Tut key nnd Bulgaria, of course. a to being
supported by the other two.
"If it become .solely a question of stay

have the resources."
"Has the effect of America's possible
tltry been considered?"
"Ame'rlcii'M resource are greater than
