Zl jMaimgcrs and Every One Connected With Selling Force Determined to Make Last Issue Most Widely Distributed Gossip r Street mill: Victory Loan campalsn xxlll begin not later than April II next. no matter xxhat may be said to the contrary." was the answer of .lolm H. Mason, piesldent of tho Commercial Trust Company nnd dhector of the xxnr-loati orRanlzatlon of the Third federal Reserve District, to n riuestlon put to him yesterday mornlnp. Mr. Mnson hail no liesltnllon In snxInB that the campaign would besln on schedule time, but lie could not say what the terms of tho loan uouM be; In fact, lie Intimated that no one at present knew xvhether bonds or short-term notes xxotild be offered to the public, but be Intimated that In nil probability It xxoirld be the latter. He also said those. who concluded thnt the Ways nnd Means Committee hod turned down tbe proposals of Secretary of the Treasury Glass xvcie mistaken. He said exery account he had' seen shoxxed that tho Secretary had all along: fax'ored a short-term loan, nnd that being so,, the commltteo had shown that they were In accord with him. When Mr. Mason xvns told that many financiers In this city had said the public would not be Interested In a short-term cuvcrnment se curity lie said: "Supposing certain concessions nnd exemptions xvete n, part of the terms of such n loan, my Impression Is that they would gladly welcome such a clinnge from the former loans." Ho did not specify just what concessions nnd exemptions might be made but he xas most emphatic In stating Hint the campaign managers and every one connected with the campaign xxere determined to make the Victor' Loan the most widely distributed of all the loans which had preceded It. Loan in No Sense a Banking Proposition When It was suggested that the general Impression among financial men was that If short-ternr notes, aftv from one to flx'e years, xvere to be sold, the proper xxay xxould be-to dispose of them through the banks, Mr. Mnson said the Victory Loan xxas in no sense a banking proposition. The banks will have their share in taking care of the Issues of certifi cates of deposit from time to lime, he remarked. On this point he ad vanced the Information that his own trust companyr-tho Commercial had disposed of $16,000,000 of these certificates over the counter. It is Kurprislns, ho said, the number of people who come in every day to buy, them as tho result of signs on the outsldo of the offices, offering them In denominations from (100 up, As Mr. Mason Is in n. position to know, any discussion as to whether there is to be a Victory Loan campaign or not Is superfluous. Ways and Means Committee Decides on Short-Term Notes A dispatch from Washington says that final decision for tho sale in the Victory Liberty Loan In April of short-term notes, maturing In one to five jcars. Instead ot bonds, was reached by the House Ways and Means Committee yesterday. It also stated that Assistant Secretary Ledlngxxell, of the Treasury, told tho commltteo that the plan was ac ceptable to Secretary Glass. The measuro is expected to pass the Houso next xxeek. The maximum authorization of the notes was fixed at $7,000,000,000. xvlth authoilty glxen to Secretary Glass to fix the rates of fnlerest on the four types of notes to be sold. i I Expect Good Remits From War ' . . Many bankers and brokers expect committee uppolntea liy the sovPfiors of 'he Philadelphia Stork E chiuise for the purpose of rtimneT to cover the fako promoters who are leaping a harvest from the small holders, ot Liberty- Bonds, and the pro teitlon as far as possible of this big army of new lnestors, as well as offerhiK them encouragement to continue savins and Investing their money In absolutely safe securities. A well-known financier when discussing the matter yesterday said he understood It is the Intention of tho committee here to affiliate with the committee appointed by the New York Stock "Kxchange for the same purpose, lie remarked that -New York and Philadelphia are the hot beds for the propagation of these shyster promoters, because virtually all the bordering stutes have either1 blue laws or something equivalent which has driven them out, and they hae found a1 refuge where up to the piesent they hae worked unmolested In New York and Pennsylvania. He said he did not believe the New York and Philadelphia com mittees favored blue laws, as while they kept out the fakers, they usually Interfere with the honest investment banker by imposing heavy taxation, and In some cases lend themselves us a cover for grafting officials. He said the committee proposes a campaign of education to advise the holders of Liberty Bonds not to sell, or if they must, then not to bell fqr one cent less than tho market price. They also expect the co operation of the papers In refusing the advertisements of fake promoters, as well as the co-opcratlon ot the owners of buildings where they have their offices. No one. he remarked, who has a legitimate proposition to offer will have anything to fear from, the committee's activities. The one Important point in this connection, lie said, is that the committee has got to work alread ; it Isn't something that is "going to be," like many teforms iu this eltj ; it la. Evolving a Definite, Workable Railroad Plan Speaking yesterday of the railroad situation, a prominent banker said it would be an everlasting shame if out of the multitude ot coun telors some definite, workable plan, which will satisfy the majority In terested, cannot bv evolved without "leaving It to the President," as indi cations now point to as the llnal resort. We have had the opinions of lailroad experts, of lawyers teprescnt lng the ralhoad security owners, of state and Interstate commissions, ot the labor element at large and railroad workers In particular, of com mittees of shippers, of House nnd Senate committees, of Individual bank crs nnd now, latest of all, of bankers In the mass he referred to the committee uppolnted on Wednesday last by the Investment Bankers' , Association, headed by Allen' B. Forbes, of Harris, Forbes & Co. In common with all, or nearly all, of the different elements men tioned, he remarked, this last committee has as Its first article of faith opposition to permanent ownership and operation of the tallroads by the government, and its second article demands a return of the roads to pri vate ownership und operation as soon as possible after the necessary constructive legislation has been agreed upon by Congress. - This banker said If this committee could only get the railroad ex perts together who hae lecently been airing their views, many of which are contradictory, and do. the same with the bankers who have formu lated plans, and place some definite program before Congress, he believed more could be accomplished In a shorttlme than by the present method of desultory airing of plans many of them excellent, but lost In the general discussion which seems to lead nowhere. Advances Made in Short-Term Notes ' Short-term notes were strong throughout yesterdaj'- session, .with a substantial turnover being reported, some Issues showing fairly good advances. This was particularly true as regnrds the Interborough notes, although only a. small amount changed hands. Some of the foreign gov ernment short-term notes were In active demand, prominent among which were ,the French 5Hs of April, 1919, which were 105 3-16 and interest bid. Bock Island 6s of February 1, J922, were 98 and Interest bid. Moderate offerings of arlous Issues were in evidence, but none was placed on the market with any concessions from previous quotations, Thel Tobacco notes were firm, Liggett & Myers 6s being quoted at from 1O0 to 100U. rnoToriATS T H E A T R E S QVSSKB AJ.TJ MANAGED nr HKUBKBS OF THE UNITED EXHIBITORS ASSOCIATION BELMONT WD ABOVE UAHKI5T rVTtr fiffWKTT In "HAPPT tiiou'oh MAnHIEP" CEDAR 60TU CEDAR AVKNUB WILLIAM FAVEnSlfAM In 'THE SILVER KIXU" "-1 led INI MARKET BETWEEN COLISEUM MTU AND 00TII WILLIAM PAVERSHAM In THE SILVER KINO" ri -ki A 1 Otn. ft Mtplawood Ai COLONIAL Sllli and SU5 V.
