"In addition Cue Department has
strongly endorsed the action of the
Investment Bankers' Association of
America, which recently adopted a
resolution prohibiting its members
from conducting campaigns for the
trailing oat of Liberty Bonds, Vic
tory Notes and War Savings Certifi
cates into other securities,” added
Mr. Prescott, who received today the
government's endorsement and ap
proval of the Assoe.iation's action.
The president asserts that the pres
ent redemption of Victory Notes and
War Savings Certificates, amounting
i the Dir-d esse to a total of $700,
000.000 and in the other to the sum
of $625,000,000, lends a fertile field
to the activities of stu b unscrupulous
stock promoters.
‘ These maturing government se
curities are held by a large number
of people who invested In them dur
ing the war from patriotic motives
but who never before had made any
investments and who therefore have
little or no experience in such mat
ters,” soys President Prescott,
is this class of men anil women
ate being imposed upon by the
m iters of fraudulent securities.
' To protect people who apply to
them for advice in the matter, many
bankers arc strongly recommending
the reinvestment of such funds in
other government securities or other
sound invest meats of proven worth.
“The resolution I > I by the
Investment Bank rs’ A - itikin ...
