[Liberty Loan Drive]
Czechoslovak Review, June, 1919
It would be interesting if the foreign language branch of the Liberty Loan organization of the Treasury Department could give figures showing how well the different foreign speaking groups in the United States did their duty in the last loan campaign. The Czechoslovaks felt confident that their race would come out as well as it did in Chicago, where there was keen rivalry between the various groups.
The results are as follows:-
Number in Chicago | Total Subscribed | |
Czechoslovaks | 102,749 | $1,328,200.00 |
Poles | 231,346 | 1,040,550.00 |
Germans | 399,977 | 602,050.00 |
Greeks | 8,621 | 584,200.00 |
Italians | 108,160 | 425,850.00 |
Swedes | 118,533 | 302,700.00 |
