No group of men in the United Itates measured up to the test of the Teat war more admirably th?.u did he bankers. The success of the Unitd States Treasury Department in loating over $21,000,000,000 in Libery Bonds and Victory Notes during he last two years was due in no small aeasure to the patriotic co-operati?B Ha rib-a Th?v Mf?lf i mO?t &(* !

In other words, the banks lid everything possible to pVomote the ale and distribution of government ?nnrittes The banker can render an equally ;reat service in reconstruction by coiperating with the government in its aovement to teach the people of the Jnited States the lessons of sound fllance and wis? investment. In pronoting this cause the banker will aid lis institution and the financial sit* lation in general at the same time. Now that the war is over the people should be impressed with the wistorn of holding their government seurities and also of purchasing more, rom time to time. The more gener-j illy the people of the United States ibsorb government securities the greater will be the ability of the comnercial banks to devote practically ill of their resources to furnishing: idequate credit to the commerce ?*nd ndustry of the country. Providing short-time credit to comnerce and industry is their normal { >eace-time function.
