Excerpt from Meeting of the Philadelphia Red Cross War Committees: Held at the Hotel Ritz, Philadelphia, Monday Evening, June 18, 1917

But the objectors wholly fail to recognize that the Liberty Loan called for no gift and no sacrifice. Every dollar will be returned with interest. Not a single cent of risk is involved in buying the best investment bond in the world. Every dollar subscribed could have been procured by taxation, but bond issues were fairer and more advantageous. The present appeal is the first call upon the Nation at large - upon every citizen of the Re public voluntarily to make some sacrifice for safeguard ing our own sons and relieving the misery of countless human beings.
