McAdoo Announces
Plans for Financing
Nation for ) Months

WASHINGTON. Nov. 29.-Secre-
tary McAdoo today announced plans
Tor one more great popular campaign
Tor the sale of bonds"
In a letter to all banks. made pub
lie by the treasury, Secretary Nlc-
Adoo outlined the treasury's policy
for the next five months embrace
ing a series OF bi-wcekly treasury
certificate issues in anticipation of
the fifth loan.
Cessation OF hostilities, the letter
said, has by no means brought 10 an
end the heavy war cost. Govern
ment expenditures for the month OF
November will exceed $2,OOO,OOO,Oo1,
and establishes a new record Tor
monthly war cost. The letter eN-
planned that there can be no definite
forecast of disbursements Tor the
next five months, because of uncer-
tamties of pending revenue legisla-
ton.
1T Is. therefore, necessary that
rational program for government
financing shall be followed" the let
ter continued.
The policy adopted by the treas
ury OF laying before the bankers
OF the nation the nature OF the treas
ury requirements is being followed
now.
II am writing you to inform YOU
of the program for the ensuing five
months in order that every bank ana
trust company may be able to pre-
pare itself TO meet patriotically the
requirements of the government
Secretary McAdoo drew attention
to the gigantic expense of maintain
ing our army of occupation in Eu-
rope and to the other war bills which
must be met. These bills cannot be
paid. he declared, unless the treasury
continues TO have adequate support
from the naOnln home
THE expenditures of the govern
ment." the letter read. beginning
July 1, 1918, to November %, a pc
riod of less than five months.
amounted to SS,213,07O,OOO. Such eX-
Denditures, during the current month
20 the Esd, amounted to $1,577, 00C,-
GOO, or at the rate of S2,O00,000,O0O
for the month"
Secretary McAdoo explained to ths
bankers that the fifth loan should
be of bonds with short maturity
term. He said it would be difficult
TO set in motion any plan for the con-
tinued sale of government bonds dur
ing the period of readjustment. Cur
rent requirements, he said, would be
taken care of by the issues of treas
ury certificates of Indebtedness.
The first issue of these certificates
will be dated December 5, 1918, bear
( IL per cent interest and mature
May 8, 1919.
Evidently some time must pass
before the readjustme from a war
to a peace basis can reflect itself in
material diminution of the daily cash
outgo from the treasury" the letter
said. Indeed. the wise policy of
prompt liquidation of contracts might
actually result for a time in the ac-
celeration OF demands upon the
trea sury."
Treasury disbursements during the
last four months have averaged
about S1,650O00,0
