MORGAN & co. ARE NOTIFIED
Declare Project Was Designed TO
Facilitate Credit Transactions
and Prevent Heavy Drains
After War.

New York, Dec. 4.-The firm of ). L.
Morgan & Co. has Withdrawn the pro-
posed sale of $50000,0OO of British ana
French treasury bills, according to IN
structicns received from abroad.
The announcement was contained IN
the following statement:
1--WE have been instructed by the
British and French governments to
withdraw their treasury bills t"9m sale.
We have accordingly expresses 10
those institutions and investors when
had already placed orders with us LOT
these securities the wish 20 be released
from the obligations to deliver ana
they have been good enough to acceue'
This action is because, rs explained
by the British chancellor OF the eN-
chequer and by the French minister Oh
finance. these governments desire TO
show every regard to the federal re-
serve board, a governmental bouy Oh
which the secretary of the treasury
and the comptroller of currency are
ex officio members.
I'VE may add that the sale In nm
tied amount Of these treasury bills-pay-
able in dollars in New York has never
been an essential part of the allied gov
ernments' financial plans, but have Tor
some time been under consideration
with view TO furnishing n credit
medium that would accommodate the
American banking demands for an IN
strument Of short maturity and OF such
limited volume that the government
could always undertake to lay down
gold in New York sufficient to meet the
matured bills.
at was believed further that these
bills would have furnished at the END
of the war an excellent measure OF
protection TO the American financial
situation inasmuch as these steadily
maturing obligations of the foregn
governments would have tended TO
prevent heavy drafts Of gold from this
market"
An informal statement was maze by
n member Of the Morgan house that no
other financial plans have been foTmu-
lated in place Of the ones abandoned.

mands that steps be taken to check
