Remarks:
|
The Third Liberty Loan was part of the larger effort by the U.S. government to sell war bonds (also known as Liberty Bonds) during World War I to defray the expense of war. These bonds were issued by the U.S. Treasury. The Third Liberty Bond Act was passed by Congress on April 4, 1918, and the bonds began issuance shortly thereafter.
