w AsH Il August 70 ?
W - Before the ways and
means committee OF the house Of
representatives yesterday after
noon, Secretary Of Treasury Nc.
Adoo proposed that in preparing
the War Budget Bill the commit
tee should provide for the issu-
ance Of bonds and certificates of
indebtedness in the amount OF
$ll ,558.945,460 to meet the needs
of the first year of war. f..
aarJ Segregating his figures as to
the specific needs OF the country
Secretary McAdoo said that in
addition"to the 81, 538,945 400 four
per cent taxable bonds which he
had recommended to the commit
tee when he was before it on Fri
day there should be provision for
the issuance of two billion dollars
of certificates OF indebtedness and
two billion dollars of war savings
certificates which should be in
smaller amounts so that they
might be available to the small
investor. The savings certificates,
he said, were planned to provide
for any sudden and unexpected
dcmands.that might be made upon
the treasury.
The bond issue which Secretary
McAdoo had proposed on Friday
and which he again mentioned
yesterday is not designed for di-
rect war expenses. The Liberty
. Loan Bonds would be taken up
from the proceeds OF the new
bonds So that in the amount OF
their principal interest there is
really no increase in the budget
and the other four billions would
be utilized for loans to the Allied
Nations in amounts and at times
needed.
These new bonds, it is pro,
posed will be subject to some, il
not to all taxes, and the provi,
sions for their being made taxa
bic is to bring them into the class
OF securities that will produce rev
enues under the war tax bill.

strong plea for the elimination Of all
waste of wheat and wheat flour and
for more strict economy in their use
Herbert G. Hoover, administrator OF
food control declared last night that
the United States and the allies face
the danger Of defeat for the lack OF
a hundred million bushels Of wheat
Having pointed out the menace that
confronts the nations and the allied
powers he then appealed for greater
conservatism In the use of wheat
flour. This appeal he directed to every
man, woman and child In the land. II
Is possible, he said, for every person
in the United States to save severa
pounds of flour each week, or at least
il can be saved for them. This is what
must be done he insists, and this il
what he urged upon his hearers TO prac
tise and preach at all seasons.
Hoover said further that while Their,
was the great need of wheat TO insur,
victory in the war that to economic,
in its use would work little hardship
upon Americans as there were larg,
crops Of staple vegetables and a larg,
corn crop. People Of the United State
knew the value of corn and corn meal
were familiar with their use and couIC
readily use them as substitutes fo
wheat flour. This was something tn,
European could not do, he pointed out
