billion dollars is the minimum amount which the poople of the United States are asked to subscribe for the fourth Liberty loan, 80- cording to an announcement by William G. McAdoo, Secretary of the Treasury, in a stirring address here to-night outlining the government's plan for the campaign, which starts Saturday.

Interest, will run for twenty years, maturingl Oct. 15, 1938, unless the government should exercise its reserved right to redeem the bonds on or after Oct. 15, 1938. Asserting that, without this vast sum, "we cannot lick the kaiser," the secretary made a special appeal for the subscriptions of corporations and wealthy individuals, as returns from the third Liberty loan indicated that wealthy corportions and persons of large means had not responded "commensurately with their abilities to He pointed out that of the 18,000,000 Americans who subscribed for the last loan, only 23,500, including corporations, bought bonds in excess of $10,000. "It would be preposterous," he said, say that there are only 22,500 men, women and corporations in America able to lend more than $10,000 each to their government on Liberty bonds." Mr.

McAdoo also condemned the practice of "swindlers and unscrupulous and unpatriotic people who, contrary to the urgent request of the Treasury Department, had induced holders of Liberty bonds to exchange them for stocks or investments of doubtful value." He pointed out that these operations forced the Treasury to buy the bonds thus thrown upon the market, in order to protect the market and the credit of the government.
