ment on Proposal.
CAMPAIGN STARTS APRIL q
Glass Announces Popular
Canvass to Be Conducted;
Preparing Bill.

WASHINGTON. Feb. lS.- Short
term notes, maturing In from one 10
i've years, would be offered IN the
forthcoming Victory Liberty loan
campaign instead OF long term notes,
under tentative agreement reached
today by the house ways and means
committee 10 fix the terms OF the
loan by legislation rather than 10
xye 10 Secretary Glass wide dis
creiionary powers 10 determine them
as he had asked.
A, the same time Secretary Glass
ina statement explained that Nhe in
tensiye popular campaign wAIld hc
conducted az planned. regardless OF
the terms arranged by congress and
that 1T would start not later than
kprll 81. The secretary had asked
congress for authority To issue either
bonds or notes as market conditions
al the time might warrant. but mcm-
bers OF the committee concluded that
new loan issue would necessarily
carry with II such IA high rate of IN
terest that financial markets might
be adversely affected for some time.
To Choose From Notcs.
Under the tentative agreement OF
the committee, reached in eNecu-
tive session at which Assistant Sec
r.tary Leffingweilr OF the treasury
was t3esent, secretary Glass would
. be given discretion OF issuing any one
or several OF four kinds of notes TO
be prescribed by tho legislation. The
Quantity of these negotiable sccuri-
ties would be limited TO probably
1900. 900, 900 OF which the treasury
now plans 10 issue only about
5000, 900, 900.
The principal features of each of
the four kinds OF notes proposed
would be as follows:
One class would be at a low rate
Of interest. possibly per cent, and
Iemp, from all federal taxation. one
would be at comparatively hign
rate. possibly per cent. and sub
ject 20 all federal taxes; u third
, would bear a moderate rate OF IN
terest-tA per cent was suggested
and be exempt from normal income
lax levies: the fourth would be eN-
smpt from taxation up TO n certain
amount.
Notes More Attractive.
These terms have not been defined
but treasury officials said the pro-
posed alternatives would satisfy the
treasury department. They cover al
possible terms which the treasury
might choose. 1t was explained. In
denomination the notes probably
would correspond with past Liberty
loans Members OF the committee
felt this would permit OF az wide a
scale as in previous campaigns as the
short term notes would prove more
attractive TO the small investors.
The ways and means committee
also decided tentatively not to in.
