A PER CENT FOR new LOAN
McADoo SUBMITS PLANS FOR
NEW ISSUE.
First Iesue of Liberty Loan Bonds to
Be Retired and Subscribers to
Have Benefit of Higher Rate.

Washington, Aug. 20. - The United
States will pay A per cent interest on
its next war loan, it was indicated,
when Secretary of the Treasury Nc
Adoo submitted plans to the House
for a new issue of 1858, 945, 900.
The bonds will be subject only to
income supertaxes, war profits and ex-
cess profits taxes and will provide $4,-
000, 900, 900 for further Allied loans and
$4,000, 000, 900 to retire the nontaxable
ga per cent issue now authorized to
loans to the Allies.
May BE Opposition.
Receipt of the suggestions caused
immediate activity among both Dem
ocrats and Republicans of the House
Ways and Means committee, many of
whom are opposed to details of the
Secretary's plan.
The 4 per cent interest proposed
probably will be accepted by the COM
mittee.
One of the principal arguments adj
vanced for the plan is that it would
protect the small investor. Sur.taxes
would not apply under the revenue bill
now before the Senate on incomes of
less than $4,000.
