MONEY SITUATION
BECOMING EASIER

Material improvement in the fnan-
cial condition Of the Treasury during
the past month carries additional
confirmation OF the opinion previ-
ously expressed By the Secretary Of
the Treasury that the borrowing op-
erations incident to the financing Of
the war will be carried to completion
without another great funding loan.

That the problem Of reducing the
cost Of living is mainly one OF re-
storing the purchasing power OF the
dollar Is the contention OF the Fed
