NOT ASHAME ifiisrs IM'iIm ^Between Twenty and Twenty Five Million Bond Buyers Take Billions !n Short Pe "A Pessimists who shake their head! '-mnd join the chorus of "I dunno" boyi at the prospect of floating a fifth Lib ?rtjr Loan in April are administered { 'knock-out by figures which have re "cently been compiled by officials o ^Uia Treasury Department at Wash "Ui(^kVU. The figures gir? an idea of jus how biy an appetite for safe investmen v "this countiy has attained in its war year. Some of the more striking o the figures referred to follow: A bond market which had less thai 300,000 customers two years ago hac the close of 1918 between 20,000, 000 and 25.000.000 buyers. The armj of buyers absorbed $11,156 #So.85( worth of bonds^in Liberty sonas aiont in 1918. J In the two years of the war?count ins the first and second Libert} Loans which were floated in 1917? ! these bond buyers digested a total oj ' $16,974,329,850 in Liberty bonds. This healthy condition of the bone " market is explained, perhaps, by th< fact that the entire indebtedness ol the United States today amounts t< slightly less than 7 per cent of th" * ixt mi _ estimated national weaun. iue n<t ttosa! debt amounts to only aboul i 4170 per capita. Some of the national debts are: <Jreat Britain, 44.3 per cent cent, ol National wealth or $360 peV capita; .Prance, 41.25 per cent of nationa! ' irealth or $296.90 per capita; Austria S43>5 per cent of national wealth oi $242.90 per capita ;and Germany, 38.1 per cent of national wealth or $505.9( per capita. These figures on Germany are ex 1 elusive of the nirth war loan, accu " Tate returns of which never were had and tn the cases of both Austria anc Germany no account is taken of anj indemnities which those nations wil -have to pay.
