Secretary Glass Abandons Plan
to Fund Allied Obligations
in United States.
REMAIN IN TREASURY
the American Government, Will
Not Be Placed On the,
Open Market.

New York, March New York
bankers have been advised that Sec
rotary of the Treasury Glass has def
nitely abandoned his lplan to fund the
Allied obligations. held by the United
States and sell the securities, bearing
the guarantee of the American govern
ment, in the open market.
The plan has been abandoned by
the treasury, it was learned in Wall
secretary after a careful survey of the
situation that the unloading of such a
huge mass of high interest bearing
securities in the open market would
demoralize the whole investment struc-
ture, resulting in serious depreciation
in the Valuation of investments car
ried by savings banks and other SINH
lar institutions.
interest Rate High.
AS proposed, the plan would entail
the issuance of new foreign govern
ment securities in small denomina-
tions to the amount of the obligations
held in the treasury against the ad-
ances made to the Allied nations.
These securities would bear the guar
antee of the United States, both as to
principal and interest. The rate of
interest on such securities, the bank
ers have said, would have to be more
than 8 per cent, and probably around
5k per cent.
If. as has been proposed, the total
Allied debt to the United States gov
eminent were refunded in this fashion
1t would mean the issuance of approx
mately $S,675, 600, 900 of new securi-
ties. This amount, the bankers have
told the treasury, could not be abb
sorbed by the investment market with
out causing the liquidation of huge
amounts of outstanding corporate Sc
curities held by investors, who would
see the advantage of selling the same
and buying the new foreign securities
bearing the United States guarantee.
Obligations to BE Retained.
Bankers asserted hat the only man.
ner in which a great mass of these
new securities could be sold would be
to extend the distribution over q long
period of years. The abandonment of
the scheme by Secretary Glass, as in
dicated by private advices from Wash
ington, means that the obligations of
the Allied nations will be held in the
treasury as at present, for the time
being at least.

once.
At the same time the board rescind-
ed the regulations by which all appli-
cations for licenses to export these
commodities to European destinations

from the Food administration, show
ing hat the administration had ap-

Allies bought in America were pur-
chased through it.
With removal of pork and pork prod
ucts from the conservation list, the
board announced that these commodi-
ties could be exported freely to the
United Kingdom, France, Italy, Bel
GUM, Japan or Greece or their colo
MES, possessions, or protectorates un-
der the special export license issued
February 26.
Officials Of the Food administration
had expected to reach an agreement
before the first OF the month on the
continuance of the minimum prices for
hogs, but after conferences with the
War Trade board and President VIII
son, 1t was announced no decision
would be possible until the President
could consider the whole matter OF ex-
port embargoes.
Two statements were issued by the
Food administration. One dealt entire
ly with the effort of the War Trade
Boards order. The order said former
Governor Stuart OF Virginia, chair
man Of the National Agricultural Ad-
visory committee has sent to his
committee and to the swine producers
committee a statement Endorsing and
warmly commanding the earnest, but
