MONEY MARKETS CLOSING
FOR FOREIGN BOND ISSUES
Feature of Program to Aid U. S. to
Maintain Supremacy in World
Finance During War.

The virtual closing of American
money markets to further bond issues
of foreign governments is the most
salient feature of a program to enable
the United States to maintain its pres
emit supremacy in international finance
throughout the war. The entente
powers are understood to be in full &C
cord with the aim and program.
The stabilizing of business conditions,
so far as possible, by the contemplated
international purchasing board, Is an
other part of the plan. The other i'm
portant feature proposes GENERALIZATION
of the national financial system by the
addition to the federal reserve system
of thousands of strong trust companies
and state banks at present non-mem-
bers.
The financing of the allies, the f1ota-
ton of the liberty loan and virtually
all financial arrangements of the gov
eminent, as we'll as efforts to continue
the present national prosperity, are
made with this program in mind.
To the end that the government is TO
remain master of the financial situa-
ton, financiers contemplating the I'M
derwriting of foreign bonds VIII pc
notified of administration disapproval
The investment market is not to De
disturbed, If preventable, by outside
bond issues. The big proportion of the
American savings, it is considered. Will
be required to finance Americas part In
war.
Instead of permitting Cuba to bor-
row $30,000.000 in the open market, II
may be necessary for the United states
to volunteer to provide the loan. All
loans made up to this time have been
by application of foreign governments.
