The Philosophy Behind Savings Bonds
(Address at Atlantic City, New Jersey, Ootober 7, 19M4)

You may not be aware of It but this meeting
today Is a kind of birthday celebration
a very
Important birthday In my oalendar.
Just about
ten years ago the first United States savings
bonds they used to be called baby bonds In those
days were sold to the American public. And In
Just a few months next March to be precise the
oldest of these bonds will reaoh Its maturity and
be presented to the Treasury of the United States
for redemption.

A birthday Is a family affair.
And I am
especially happy to be able to celebrate this
birthday with members of the Immediate family
that made savings bonds the moat popular and most
widely held form of Investment ever conceived In
the United States.
I think you can be very proud
of your adopted child.
When the history of this
war comes to be written I believe, Indeed, that
the savings bond program will have a highly honored place In It and that the Job which you have
done so generously and so effectively will be recorded as one of the major contributions to our
victory.

Savings bonds designed to
democratize public finance
I should like to go back with you for a few
minutes to those early days, a decade ago, when
war bonds were baby bonds. They were conceived
then with a very definite purpose In view.
That
purpose was, In a phrase, to democratize publlo
finance In the United States.

We In the Treasury wanted to give every
American a direct personal stake In the maintenance of sound Federal finances.
Every man and
woman who owned a Government bond, we believed,
would serve as a bulwark against the oonstant
threats to Uncle Sam's pocketbook from pressure
blocs and special Interest groups.
In short, we
wanted the ownership of America to be In the
hands of the Amerloan people.
We had made only a start In this direction,
you will remember, when war broke out In Europe
and threatened the security of the United States.
But the foundation had been laid for real popular
participation In an Amerloan preparedness program.
Savings bonds became known as defense
bonds.
And, as you all know, they played an Important part In making the Nation ready for the
great crisis which came upon us at the end of
19^1.
They served not only as a vital faotor in
financing the rearmament of our fighting forces
but, what seems to me even more important, they

gave to the average citizen a sense of the war's
meaning and of the urgent nature of the national
danger.

When the enemy struck, the machinery was
ready and In operation for the people's flnanolng
Defense bonds became war bonds and
of the war.
through your efforts they have been put Into the
hands of S5 million individual Americans.
I congratulate you on the accomplishment. Think of ltj
Out of every thirteen men, women, children and
babies In the United States, more than eight have
purchased bonds of their Government. Today there

Savings bonds protected
from market risk
We designed this security in order to protect the small Investor against any possibility
of lose as a result of fluctuations in market
value.
Nonnegotlable securities with guaranteed
redemption values are not subjeot to panicky liquidation which, experience shows, develops among
small holders of marketable securities
in
the
event of a decline In market value. In short, they
are more likely to be retained as Investments.
'

It is worth while to reoall the experience
following World War I when Liberty bonds plunged
down Into the eighties, and frightened buyers,
inexperienced as Investors, unloaded.
They felt
that their trust in their Government had been betrayed.
Later they awoke t'o find that their loss
had been the gain of the speculators and the
wealthy who then owned their bonds at prloes that
brought them truly handsome yields on the safest
securities in the world.

War Finance and Economic Stabilization
(Address at Mew Orleans, Louisiana, Ootober 12. 1944)

The economic problem of war finance
Wars, now as always, are won on battlefields.
But In modern war, whioh Is total war, the Home
Front Is Intimately Involved.

posalble to maintain the vast and complex flow of
supplies neoessary for the men on the fighting
lines.
It has been the task of the Treasury Department to flnanoe the oostllest war In history.
I
should like this afternoon to review with you In
some detail the manner In whioh this task has
been executed.
Our problem has been something
much more dlffloult than the mere raising of vast
sums of money.
The nub of the problem has
been to raise these sums in suoh a way as to
strengthen,
rather than weaken,' the national
eoonomy.

Half of the total resouroes of the United
States are now being devoted to waging war. Sinoe
Pearl Harbor, war expenditures have amounted to
about $208 billions.
During this same period,
non-war expenditures have been kept down to $16
billions, making a total Government outlay for
the course of the war to date of $224 billions.

Where has this tremendous sum come from?
Well, $87 billions, or 39# of the total bill, has
come from revenue.

During the flsoal year Just ended, expenditures were slightly more than $95 billions, and
net reoelpts ollmbed to a little over $44 MilThis means that there has been an
lions, or 46%.
upward trend in our ooverage of war costs through
taxation.
It is a trend which may be surprising
to some and whioh certainly should be encouraging
to all.
I want to put some emphasis on this trend
sinoe there nave been charges of late that the
Treasury has confused the public by persistent
In the year ended
increases in the tax burden.
June 30, 1940, the last flsoal year before the
beginning of the defense program, net Treasury
receipts were slightly less than $5,500 millions.
The $44 billions total which, as I have Just told
you the Government took in during the past year,
was an eightfold lnorease a larger increase than
has taken plaoe In the revenue collection of any
This Is an
other major belligerent of this war.
Important thing to remember In International comparisons beoause the burden of taxation must be
measured not only by its absolute magnitude but
also by its rate of lnorease.

—

Now, I do not think there has been anything
oonfuslng about this.
The American people, reoognlzlng the need for greatly inoreased Government revenues, have submitted to the highest
taxes In the nation's history with remarkably
good graoe and good oheer. A sharp rise In taxes
was absolutely neoessary for the maintenance of
eoonomlo stability.

But

even

after

these

record

oolleotions

there remained the giant sum of $137 billions,
expended during the last three years, that had to
be raised through some other means than taxation.

Savings bonds chief means
of mass borrowing
This money had to be raised by borrowing.
It would have been relatively easy, of course, to
raise It by borrowing from the banks. But In order to avoid inflation, It was essential that a
major part of the Increased debt be borrowed outside of the banking system that Is from the gen-

—

eral public
In selecting the Series E bonds as our primary vehicle for mass borrowing, we had In mind
first of all the protection of the Interests of
the small Investor.
The Treasury Department has
considered Itself a trustee for the men and women
who purchased Government securities primarily to
help their country In time of stress.
Such investors plaoe their faith In their Government.
We wanted, therefore, to protect them, through a
nonnegotlable bond, against the kind of liquidation which,
experience shows, develops among
small holders of securities in the event of a decline in market value.

After World War I, Liberty bonds dropped In
value down Into the elghtlee, and many persons
who had bought them during the war became frightened and sold them.
They discovered later that
their loss had been the gain of the speculators
and the wealthy who then owned their bonds and
gleaned from them truly handsome dividends on the
safest seourlty In the world. It is not unnatural
that they should have felt that their trust In
their Government had been betrayed.
The Series E bonds have another virtue which
will be of benefit not only to those who have
purchased them but to the entire national economy.
When the war is over they will provide an
Invaluable baoklog of purchasing power.
I don't think that these bonds are going to
be redeemed in a sudden deluge immediately after
V-Day.
On the oontrary, I feel confident that
most of those who bought them will make every
effort to hold them to maturity.
But possession
of the bonds will give to these people a sense of
seourlty about the future which will permit them
to spend their ourrent Incomes more freely than
would otherwise be possible.
We shall find this
purchasing power Immensely helpful during the reconversion period.
It will prove, I am oertaln,
a vital asset In warding off the sort of deflation which struck this Nation so disastrously In
1920 and 1921 when we turned from war to peaoe
production.

Success of stabilization program
Our fis'oal polloy of siphoning off excess
buying power by taxing and borrowing from the
general public has been one of two buttresses
supporting the structure of eoonomlo stabilization.

Interest Rates and Postwar Debt Management
(Address at Los Angeles, California, October 1^. 19^)

For the last week I have been addressing a

Thursday, addressing a gathering similar to

war finance has played In eoonomlo stabilization.
The heavy tax burdens whloh the Amerloan people,
generally speaking, have aooepted with extraordinarily good graoe and the large proportion of
the Increase In the public debt whloh has been
absorbed by the men and women of this oountry,
have played a very Important part In holding Inflation In oheok. The OPA has estimated that if

World War I, there would have been approximately

Personally, I do not anticipate a rise in

Savings are abundant and promise to be adequate to
meet all likely demands.
We believe, therefore,
that we shall be able to refund our obligations,

now prevailing.
Thus, the saving to the Treasury
will continue over a long period of years.

Sixth

Major emphasis on Individuals
In announcing the drive, Seoretary Morgenthau
stated that the major emphasis throughout the
Loan will be placed on the quota of $5 billions
for Individuals. Although subscriptions will be
received from all nonbank Investors during the
entire period, only sales to Individuals will be
reported by the Treasury during the period from
November 20 to December 1. Commencing on December 1, the campaign to sell securities to Individuals will be supplemented by an Intensive campaign for subscriptions from all other investors
except commercial bariks.

Subscriptions for savings bonds as well as
savings notes processed by the Federal Reserve
Banks and by the Treasury Department during the
months of November and December will be credited
to the drive.
This will enable millions of persons employed In industry and trade to participate in the drive through the purchase of bonds
by weekly or semi-monthly deductions from their
pay during this period.

Securities offered
Eight seourltles will be offered in the
Sixth War Loan,
four non-marketable and four
marketable Issues.
The four non-marketable securities are unohanged from offerings in the
Fifth War Loan, and consist of Series E, F, and &
savings bonds and Series C savings notes.
The
four marketable seourltles are new Issues but are
similar to the marketable Issues offered during
the Fifth War Loan.
They consist of one-year
7/8% certificates; 1-1/4% notes due September 15,
19*+7; 2% bonds due December 15, 1954, callable on
or after December 15, 1952; and 2-1/2$ bonds due
Maroh 15, 1971i oallable on or after March 15,
1966.

The three Issues of savings bonds and the
Series C savings notes will be dated the first of
the month in whloh purchased.
The marketable
Issues will be dated December 1, but the Treasury
Is requesting that there be no trading in these
seourltles, and no purchases of such securities
other than on dlreot subscription, until after
the drive.
The 2-1/2% Treasury bonds of 1966-71
cannot be held by commercial banks prior to December 1, 195^» except when acquired for the limited investment of time deposits as discussed below.

The table which follows presents the chief
characteristics of the seourltles to be offered
during the Sixth War Loan.

In order to avoid unnecessary transfers of
funds from one locality to another during the
Sixth War Loan, the Treasury has again requested
that all subscriptions by corporations and firms
be entered and paid for through the banking Institutions where the funds are looated.
This request Is made to prevent disturbance to the money
market and the banking situation.
The Treasury
will undertake to see that statistical credit for
subscriptions is given to any localities whloh
the purchaser may request, except that subscriptions from Insurance companies will be credited
to the State of the home office as In the past.

Deferred payments
Life Insurance oompanles, savings InstituStates, municipalities, political subdivisions and similar public corporations, and agenoles thereof, will be permitted to defer payment
in whole or In part on their subscriptions to
the 2-1/2% bonds of 1966-71 and the 2% bonds of
1952-5M-.
Securities purchased on the deferred
payment plan may be paid for at par and accrued
Interest at any time or times but full payment
must be completed on or before February 28, 194-5.
tions,

Speculative purchases discouraged
In order to help in achieving Its objeotlve
of selling as many securities as possible outside
of the banking system, the Treasury has asked the
cooperation of all banks in declining to make
speculative loans for the purchase of Government
securities in the Sixth War Loan.
This policy,
however, is not Intended to imply any disapproval
of loans to enable Investors to purchase securities in anticipation of Income, provided that the
loans are on a short-term or amortization basis
and are fully repaid within six months.
This Is
consistent with the requirements set forth in the
Joint statement by National and State bank supervisory authorities on November 23, 1942, (reprinted in the "Treasury Bulletin" for Maroh 1944,
page A-3).
The Treasury has also requested that
commercial banks not make loans for the purpose
of acquiring the drive securities later for their
own account.

Concurrent Investment of time deposits
Concurrently with the Sixth War Loan, 00mmerolal banks, which are defined for this purpose
as banks accepting demand deposits, will be permitted to subscribe In limited amounts to the 2%
and 2-1/2% bonds, and to Series F and Series
savings bonds.
The limit on such purchases will
be 10% of the combined amount of time certificates of deposit of Individuals and nonprofit
corporations or associations and of savings deposits, but not more than $500,000, for any one
bank.
Purchases of the Series F and a savings
bonds are further restricted by the regular annual limit of $100,000 Issue price per subscriber
for both Issues combined.
Subscriptions by commercial banks for the limited investment of time
deposits will not be considered as part of the
Sixth War Loan and will not be credited to drive
quotas.

Assets and Liabilities of All Active Banke in the United States
December 31, 1030 Through June 30, 1044
Early In October, the Comptroller of the
Currency released the semiannual report of assets
and liabilities of all aotlve banks In the United
States and possessions as of June 3°i 19**4. These
data were compiled from call reports of national
banks and from Information provided by State bank
supervisors.
Comparable figures from previous
reports have been used In the preparation of the
accompanying tables and oharts ooverlng the period December 31, 1539 through June 30, 19*14.

Assets
Assets of all aotlve banks lnoreased from
#77.6 billions on December 31, 1939 to $139.6
billions on June 30, 1944 (Table 1 and the accompanying ohart). This was an Increase of $62.0

Total loans and discounts rose from $22.4
billions to $25.5 billions fram December 1939
through June 1944, an lnoreaae of $3.1 billions.
In relation to total assets, however, loans and
discounts declined from 29% to 18% during the
period. Bank holdings of State and local, corporate, and other securities showed a steady decline from $9.4 billions In December 1939 to $7.6
billions In June 1944.

Liabilities and Capital Accounts
On the liability

balance sheet

(Table 1 and the accompanying chart) the Increase
of $62.0 billions from December 1939 through June
1944 was concentrated In the growth of deposits.

and corporations increased from $28.2 billions at
the end of 1939 to $59.4 billions by December 31,
1943 and then declined to $5S.4 billions by June

At the end of Deoember 1943, it had been two and

on June 30 of this year, the Fifth War Loan was
in progress and deposits of individuals, partnerships, and corporations had already been drawn

Here again the timing of the war loans was significant.
United States Government deposits were
unusually high on June 30, 1944 as the result of
security sales during the Fifth War Loan.
Capital accounts of all banks lnoreased from
