LIBERTY BONDS
ARE VALUABLE
AT MATURITY
♦ SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 17.—“Daily
quotations on Liberty bonds, which at
present show them below par, have
nothing to do with the maturity value
of the bonds, and are of no interest
to the ordinary bondholder,” declared
* Governor John U. Calkins of the San
Francisco Federal Reserve bank to
day. “The United States government
will redeem every Liberty bond at
its maturity date at face value plus
accrued interest.”
The reason for the decline in the
price of the government securities is
that speculators, anxious to win
higher returns on riskier investments,
*have thrown their Liberty bonds on
the market, while subscribers who in
some cases have found difficulty in
completing their payments have let
go of large blocks of the bonds. The
daily quotations on Liberty bonds re-|
fleet the action of these forces, which
fix market values. Market values,
however, have nothing to do with real
■values.
The San Francisco Chronicle, in the
leading article on its financial page re
i^oently, said:
^ It lo W CII M1U YV Li Hid L ldlgC
amounts of Liberty's were offered as
collateral for margin accounts by spec
mlators. Many of these accounts were
forced to liquidate their collaterals in
the recent break in the stock market.
“The exchange of Liberty bonds for
‘wildcat stocks’ has taken place on so
gfeat a scale as to cause thousands of
complaints to the authorities. It is
safe to say that the persons receiving
these bonds have sold them.
“The Christmas custom of exchang
ing gifts may to some extent be called
& contributing factor. Never were
prices so high and never was the de
sire to purchase expensive gifts more
prevalent. People reason with them
selves that there is now no patriotic
necessity for keeping their Liberty
bonds, so they sell their bonds to buy
silks and jewels.”
Liquidation of Liberty bonds by
holders of small amounts for the pur
chase of luxuries has virtually thrown
these bond^ ._L>our currency system,
^>wing to their negotiability. This has
expanded our currency, cheapening
the dollar and contributing effectively
to raise prices generally.
The man who sells his Liberty bond
now loses money. It is good business
to buy more at the present market
values rather than to sell what you
have.
