Dear Sir:
In .Mr. Strong's absence, I am taking the liberty f replying to your letter of necember 1st.
Upon inquiry I find that the information desired by you
could only be obtained through the Treasury Department in Washing-
ton and the Department would in turn have to make a special request
of the Trenton banks before it would be posSible to obtain such records.
It is my understanding that such information is held by the
banks as confidential and owing to the difficulty of securing it,
assume that you will not care to pursue the matter further even though
your patriotic zeal might impel you to de so.
Your letter will be held pending Mr. Strong's return and
will be called to his attention at that time.
Very truly yours,
Secretary to Mr. Strong.

Dear Er. Strong:
'
At the meeting of the Committee on Friday last, a
memorandum was presented of certain expenses, amounting to ,1404.75,
incurred during the last campaign by the Publicity Department. This
amount represented cigars and cigarettes used in the entertainment
of the "Blue Devils", Pershing's i_en and newspaper reporters at
Liberty Land, the luncheon at the Plaza Hotel, etc.; flowers sent
to the funeral of Mrs. Mullally; part of the expenses of a trip to
Colonel Roosevelt's home at Oyster Bay by the Liberty Loan Workers
etc.
As this expense is not chargeable against the Government
and as the item is a small one, it was decided to divide this sum
equally among the members of the Committee, making the amount due
from each member 26.98, for which you may send me your check in
care of the Guaranty Trust Company, 140 Broadway, NOW York City.
Very truly yours,
Assistant Secret

Dear Sir:

check for t26.93 as his pro rata share of the expenses Inourred by the Publicity Department of the Liberty Loan Committee.

Dear Emerson -
I have been seeking the right time to send you a
few lines about the loan; and this is the first spare moment.
No one could take greater pride and satisfaction
in having a part in a great tas1; than I do in my association
with you and the Liberty Loan Staff.
Work for one's Country is
usually impersonal, - and too often perfunctory.
For me this
is a work of real blood affection, - of course on account of that
boy of mine - and I feel that you are all striving with me, to
insure his safe and speedy return.
There are no reservations or doubts in my mind as
to the spirit, ability or affection of the organization, - it is
a very great thing that it is doing, - but the credit for the results
belongs to you and the others, - and of that I get much too large
a share.
I am writing to congratulate you and express my admiration
itif your ability, patriotism and of the success which thosetwo
always insure.
Yours,
BENJ. STRONG

Dear Mr. Pritchard:
I am attaching hereto a copy of a letter received from Governor
Strong which concerns the work that the Publicity Department did in the
Third Liberty Loan and it is, therefore, directed to you.
We are not
doing this work for any recognition, direct or indirect, but it is pleas-
ant to feelthat this Department has the backing of the man at the head
of it.
I feel sure that you realize fully that in everything you have
done you have had the complete backing of the head of theDepartment
as well as the head of the Liberty Loan Committee.
This backing has
been evidenced by giving you as far as possible a clear hand in develo p-
ing your on organization and relying upon your unquestioned loyalty
to do everything exactly in the manner that you would do it if you knew
that Mr. Strong were always at your hand.
During the next loan the
same policy will be in effect as far as possible and I believe that
difficult as it may be the next loan will be more of a success than the
third.
- 2 -
You haft doubtless seen the statement of the President's message to Congress of may 28, 1918, in which he stated that "In the
autumn a much larger sale of long time bonds must be effected than
has yet been attempted".
No one
knows how much this means in dollars.
It seems probable, however, that it means not less than five billion.
It may mean six or seven.
What this means in our work is obvious.
I am back at my desk ready to take up any problems you may
have.
I feel that the time between now and the beginning of the next
loan is not too long to accomplish the work which we have before us.
Thanking you again for your tireless and helpful work in the
past,
Sincerely yours,
/s/

reply indicating his willingness to dine with the Ben Club at such

meet with the favor of the members. The exact time and place will be
settled when we ascertain whether the majority can attend.

GOV. STRONG DINED BY LOAN WORKERS
EX-SEC'Y M'ADOO PRAISES THE FEDERAL RESERVE
HEAD.
Many Bankers Present at Victory Dinner
In the Waldorf-Astoria Secretary Glass Unable to Attend
Members of the Liberty Loan Organization gave a dinner in honor of Governor
Benjamin Strong of the Second Federal Reserve District and the General Liberty
Loan Committee at the Waldorf-Astoria last night. The dinner was held in recognition of Governor Strong's services during the war loans, and he was given an
enthusiastic reception.
Secretary of the Treasury Carter Glass, who was to have been one of the speakers, was unable to attend, and he was represented by Assistant Secretary of the
Treasury Russell Leffingwell. The guests were Shepard Margan, James N. Wallace,
Pierre Jay, Albert H. Wiggin, Mrs. John T. Pratt, Seward Prosser, Guy gmerson,
George Foster Peabody, James S. Alexander, A. M. Anderson, who WAS toastmaster;
William G. McAdoo, Allen B. Forbes, George W. Hodges, Jacob H. Schiff, Mrs.
Courtlandt D. Barnes, Charles H. Sabine, Gates W. McGarragh, Frank R. Wilson,
Walter E. Frew and Martin Vogel.
After the dinner there was an entertainment on a platform that had been
improvised, and the diners were particularly pleased with the work of Miss
Cecil Arden, of the Metropolitan Opera Company.
The principal address of the evening was made by ex-Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo, who not only complimented the Liberty Loan workers whom he commanded
during four campaigns, but paid high tribute to Governor Strong. He said
New York had been called on to raise the largest amount of any locality because
of its large population and vast financial resources.
Mr. Mckdoo said that the occasion brought to his mind the recollection of the
manner in which the idea of financing the war was conceived.
He said that it was
due to the fact that at one time he read a history of this country very carefully.
"When I read of the Civil War period, I was particularly interested in the way
that the war was financed, and while I do not wish to criticise Mr. Chase, who
was Secretary of the Treasury under President Lincoln, yet I always felt that he
could have been more successful in financing the cause of the North, if he had made
his appeal direct to the people.
"So when it appeared that war between this country and Germany was inevitable,
I thought of what I had read in that history, and we decided to go to the
people to raise the monebr that was to go toward equipping and maintaining the
armies to fight the Kaiser.
History will show that we were successful, and at
this time I want to pay a tribute to the small investor and to the men and women
who had to draw on their hard earnest savings in order to loan the funds to their
Government."
-2 Mr. Leffingwell praised the work of Governor Strong as well as the
members of the cominittee.
Gov. Strong in responding referred to the co-operation
that had been given to him by all the volunteer workers.

Dear Mr. Pritchard:
The successful conclusion of the Fifth Liberty Loan, more
successful in this district than in any other, means the disbanding of our
great Liberty Loan
Organization.
There are certain members of the organi-
zation to whom I am addressing this personal letter, although unable to do
so to all of them, as I would most prefer.
The work which you and your associates have performed has been
an accomplishment of the very first order in finance and in patriotism.
The
pride which I have personally felt in this organization is justified by the
character of the men and women in it even more than by the results which
they have accomplished.
I know how difficult some of the work has been
what a tremendous strain it has imposed upon all the members of the organization; and what sacrifices in many cases the work has required, and by
men and women who were little able to afford them.
This letter is to express to you my gratitude for the loyalty
which you have all shown to me as the nominal head of the organization, and
particularly for your loyalty to a great undertaking, as that Was chiefly
responsible for an equally great success.
With many good wishes, I am,
Faithfully yours,

MEMORANDUM
June 13, 1919
To: Governor Strong
From:
Mr. Emerson
I should like to leave with you a few suggestions in
regard to the New York sttuation.
In the first place, let me state that the existing War
Sav:ngs Organization in New York was built up partly to continue
the existing War Savings Societies and similar work, which has been
started furing the past year and a half.
It was also intended to meet the directions contained in
a letter from Mr. Leffingwell received about six weeks ago, which was
transmitted to me by Mr. Sailer, which directed that a nucleus of a
continuous sales force be established in anticipation of a possible
future plan of the Treasury Department.
It should also be noted that a considerable amount of the
War Savings work, which has been done since the first of January, has
been carried by bureaus of the Liberty Loan Committee and that with
the disbanding of that organization it was necessary to place essential
men on the War Savings pay roll.
Ovbiously, we are now spending too much money in New York
on War Savings alone in proportion to sales. Following the remarks
of Mr. Leffingwell in the meeting yesterday, the War Savings Conference
directed itself to this problem and it became obvious that there were
only two ways to meet this situation, either by reducing expenses or
by increasing sales.
It is, of course, easy to make some cuts in the present pay
roll and thus reduce expenses, but with the present security I do not
believe that a reduction of the working force will result in a proportionate and relative increase in sales.
In other words, if nothing is to be available except the
War Savings Stamps I think it is very doubtful if we can ever meet
the very reasonable requirement of the Treasury Department to the
effect that expenses should be in a very modest ratio to sales.
It seems to me, however, that thrift applies to the whole
body of our people and not simply to those of small means. We have
a very real responsibility toward those people to whom we have sold
Government bonds during the past two years and Mr. Leffingwell stated
this morning that he considered it part of his responsibility to keep
in touch with these people, not only as future buyers of Government
securities, but also from the standpoint of protecting the interests
of those who came to the aid of the Government in its time of need.
He stated this morning to a Committee of the Xar Savings
Organization, of which I was a member, in a conference lasting about
an hour, that if the organization could be worked out with you so as to
be considered a unit, with its publicity directed not only to thrift
propaganda amongst possible War Savings Stamp buyers, but, also, to
thrift propaganda to people of larger means leading to the purchase of
new Treasury securities and the purchase of outstanding securities on
the market and tending also to reduce the activities of swindlers, that
he would feel that the Treasury money was being properly expended even
though it was out of proportion to the actual sale of War Savings Stamps.
I know this idea has occurred to you and I think it may be a
solution of our local problem if properly supplemented by a very careful
re-consideration of our present salary roll and of expenditures which
are in contemplation for the plans of this year.
One of my principal reasons for leaving this memorandum with
you is to call attention to the fact that if anything at all is to be
done it must be done with enthusiasm. Otherwise, we cannot maintain
any organization in New York which will live up to the traditions of
Government financing under your supervision. If the organization is
cut down so low as to be really insignificant it will make no impression
on the situation in the Second Federal Reserve District and might as well
be disbanded entirely.
We cannot hold men who have gone through the
enthusiasm of liberty loan campaigns with their tradition of success
unless we give them a job that they consider worth fighting for and a
job which they realize is considered vital not only by the Treasury
Department but by you personally who are their Chief.
I am willing to state without qualification that I believe
there is a big job to be done in our District and that we have an organization which can do this job without undue expense.
I do not believe that they have had a fair chance to demonstrate
a sales ability up to this time.
The first half of the year has been
heavily loaded with expenses that will not be repeated during the balance
of the year and all sales activities have been restricted because of the
Victory Loan.
I sincerely hope that sGme plan will be worked out which meets
the necessary condition of thriftiness in our own organization which at
the same time will not abandon the tremendously important steps in popular
financing and in national thrift wnich have been started during the past
two years.

ALL ABOUT LIBERTY BONDS
Liberty Bonds are engraved certificates bearing the guarantee of the Government and People of the United States
to repay in gold the full amount loaned, with interest.
Liberty Bonds are as safe as the United States.
WHY
Should I
Buy Them?
Because we are at war. Because we must have dollars
as well as men in the fight for freedom. Because they
are the safest investment in the world today.
Each $100 bond has 60 coupons attached. You can cut
off one of these every six months and get $1.75 in cash
at any bank, without expense.
HOW
For each $50 subscribed pay:
$10 on July 30, 1917
$1 down
$9 on June 28, 1917 $15 on August 15, 1917
$15 on August 30, 1917
Pay in cash if you prefer.
You don't need a bank account to buy a Liberty Bond.

without losing a single life. The German trench was demolished.
Not a German soldier in it was left alive.
These are simple facts. Yet they are facts which go straight
to the hearts of the men and women of the United States whose
boys are going into the trenches during the next few months.
These facts do not constitute an appeal. They simply
express the deepest, strongest, most lasting emotion of the
human heartthe love of Eons and husbands and brothers.
The bravery of men, the offer of their livesis the great
drop of blood to be shed by our boys in Francewhen it is

Every hand in the land stretched out

is the only way she can win it.
Third Liberty Loan
We are fighting a united German people.
Until every American is backing the boys in
the trenches, until every hand in the land is
stretched out to help, we cannot expect our
fr V
army to defeat the German armies strenghtened
by the toil and sacrifice of the one hundred and
fifty million people of Germany and her allies.
This is a war of national resources, and
everyone must add his share to America's fighting strength if we are to make our superior resources count. Every hand in the land must
be stretched out to help our boys if we would
send them over the top to early and certain
VICTORY.
Save for the Third Liberty Loan. Invest in the Third

E
Liberty Loan. That is the way to lend a hand. That is
the way to make a nation invincible for freedom and justice.
Every bond bought now is a direct fighting aid to this boy in the trenches in France.
