W HAT WAS DONE WITH
THE MONEY
The following is an extract!
from a letter written as a pre-j
liminary to the Fourth Liberty'
Loan Campaign by Antoinette
Funk. Director Propaganda and
Speakers Department National j
Woman’s Liberty LoanCommitee j
Treasury Department Washing
ton, D.C.
The money we pay out and j
what we get for it is a fair state* j
merit of our war program and
of our national achievement so!
far, what we have done so far
point s to what is before us - -
what we must do week by week
till the war is won.
Our Allies, owing to their lack
of preparation had to come into
the markets of the United States
for most of their war necessities
and in one year of our neutralit
y their account with us was
.nearly ten billion dollars.
In the fiscal years of 1917 &
1918 we lent them $5,6211,000,000
You will be interested in
knowing some of the things our
Allies really did with the sums
we lent them.
First they used $150,000,000 for
relief in Belgium and Servia. The
Belgians call it “blessed money”
Besides the enormous expendit
ures embraced in the term “ mu
nitions of war” they have spent
with us eight hundred million
dollars for meat and other foods
$600,000,000 for cotton and $600,
000,000 for cereals.”
