NEXT LIBERTY LOAN
IS THREE BILLIONS
THE INTEREST RATE WILL BE
-FOUR AND A QUARTER
PER CENT.
TO Be NON-CONvERTARLE
Secretary McAdoo Announces That
Expenditures Of America and the A.
lies Are Much Below Estimates.

Washington.-Secre McAdoo an
nounced that the amount of the third
liberty loan would be three billion dol
lars at four and one-quarter per cent
and that all over-subscriptions would
be accepted.
The new bonds will be non-convert-
ible but bonds of the first and second
liberty loans may be convertible into
the new 4 IA per cent securities.
Mr.. McAdoo said expenditures of
the United States and the allied gov
eminent had been much below esti-
mates, and that consequently it was
not necessary to make the loan larger
than three billion dollars.
Congress will be asked for authority
to make additional loans to the allies
during the coming summer. The de-
cision to make the new bonds incon-
vertible, the secretary announced, was
reached in order to put an end to the
expectation of higher interest rates.
Secretary McAdoo issued this state,

allied governments having been much
less than had been indicated by the
estimates, the amount of the next loan
will be only 5000, 100000, the right be-
ing reserved to allot over-subscrip-

from congress to issue bonds bearing

States inheritance taxes and having

purpose of ascertaining whether he was
responsive to Senator Wharton's com
mittee Of conference resolution. The

nothing about the resolution until it was
introduced, but he was in thorough sym
pathy with it, and thought the entire
membership of both houses should unite
in doing the right thing. He did not con-
ccal the fact that he resented what he
considered outside interference when he
made frank statement OF his views Of the
