announced that the Fourth Liberty

that the Government interest rate
should be stabilized at ~ per cent.
lie points out that raise In the rate
OF interest Of only one.fourth Of 1 per
cent on 10000, 100000 Of Government
bonds would mean an annual increase
Of t2b, 900, ,ocd In interest charges. and
that thi. money woa,d have TO be
raised BY increased taxation and paid
by the seoplc OF the country, n
would not be paid by one class only.
because there are consumption az
we'll as other kinds OF taxes, and the
consumption tsxSs reach every class
OF people,
"As an intelligent people," said SEQ.

eYal months ago as necessary to q
speedy allied control of the situation
