( I '
j Washington, D. C., Feb. 14.?Secretary
Glass told the house ways and
I meifns committee that it was appar,
ent "something must be done to
make the bonds or notes of the Vicj.
tory Liberty Loan more attractive
than their predecessors" and asked
* that congress give him authority to
fix interest rates and determine exemptions
from taxation according to
1 financial conditions existing when
the loan is floated in April.
I The head of the nation's financial
r system also urged that authority be
given the war finance corporation to
j make advances to exporters not to
i exceed $1,000,000,000 and that the
purposes for which the treasury may
' * :? ~
t mane lUttllS l/U lUIClgu guicuuueuKi
, be broadened. Mr. Glass said both
provisions were necessary for restor,
ation of the country's foreign trade
and would be mutually helpful to
this government and the allies,
j Mr. Glass told the committee that
. at the rate disbursements were being
r made it was apparent that only a
, radical reduction in the remaining
. month of the fiscal years could bring!
the year's expenditures within the!
$18,000,000,000 which Former Sec-J
retary McAdoo had hoped would
, cover the government's expenses.
Cash disbursements durine the first
ten .days of February showed a
"very gratifying decrease," but Mr.
Glass pointed out that heavy payments
on informal war contracts
were being held in abeyance until
congress acted in pending legislation
affecting them. Under the circumstances
and with a floating debt of
$5,000,000 in treasury certificates increasing
approximately $1,400,000,000
a month he thought the committee
would not be surprised by his
recommendation for authorizations
for an additional $5,000,000 issue of
bonds. There remain unissued under
previous legislation slightly in
excess of $5,000,000,000.
Not Ten Billion.
"It is needless to say that the treasury
does not contemplate the issue
in connection with the Victory Lib-'
erty Loan of any such amount of
bonds as $10,000,000,000," Mr. Glass
said, adding that "it seemed wise to
suggest an increase to a figure which
would seem to represent the maximum
possible amount of .the bonded
debt growing out of the war."
As an alternative to the issue of
bonds, he suggested authorization of
an issue of notes limited to $10,000,000,000
and increase in the maximum
amount of treasury certificates
from $8,000,000,000 to $10,000,000,000,
not that the three items should
e at all cumulative, but that the
treasury should have the power to:
finance the government's operation |
in the most economical way.
It may be desirable to adopt all of
these methods in succession, Mr/
GIa$s said. Conditions in April might,'
be such that it would be wise to issue
a short time note bearing a relative-1
ly high rate of interest and carrying
with it the privilege of conversion
into bonds bearing interest at a lower
rate and having a longqr maturity.
On the other hand it might be desirable
to make an alternative offer ofbonds
and notes leaving the subscriber
a choice between the two.
"I am by no means convinced that
conditions will be such in April as to
necessitate an increase in the inter1
est rate over that provided in existing
law to an important extent, if at
' all, yet if I were obliged to determine
now what is the lowest rate at
which I could undertake with cerainty
to finance the requirements of
the government when the issue is
offered in April I should be obliged
to name a maximum rate much higher
than that which is developments
are as favorable as I expect they
will be in the interval, will I hope
be sufficient to float the loan.
Refunding of Debt.
, "The floating debt, represented
i by treasury certificates now out[
standing and be issued before the
t Victory Liberty Loan is offered,
[ must be refunded, and bonds or
notes must be sold to an amount
pnffl f a ? e\/\r\ Vin mnvnACA
oum^itiLt i/v iiio ^uipuoc.
- To withhold from the secretary of
i the treasury power to issue bonds or
notes bearing such rate of interest
as may be necessary to make this
refunding possible might result in
catastrophe. To specify in the at
the maximum amount of interest t
cover all contingencies would b
costly because the moximum woul
surely be taken by the public as th
minimum."
