GLASS GIVES PLAN
FOR 6 BILLION LOAN
Secretary Proposes Bill Govern
ing Future Liberty Bonds.
EXEMPTION CLAUSE ASKED
Treasury Head Wants Congress to
Give Him Authority to Increase
Interest Rate on Short
Term Securities.

Washington. Feb. 1.-THE Victory
American people in April will be for
approximately S6OO0,0O0,OO0 and will
consist of short-term bonds providing
a comparatively high return to the
investor
These prospects were indicated by
a letter Secretary of the Treasury
Glass addressed to Chairman Kitchin
of the house committee on ways and
means and the draft of bill pro-
:viding for future issues of bonds
which accompanied the letter.
More Loans Predicted.
With Representative Kitchin and
Senator Smoot agreeing that the eX-
penses of the government next year
will be $4,000, 100000, whereas the
tax revenue will be only S4,000,O0O,0OO,
it is apparent that the forthcoming
loan will not end the war borrowing
from the people. While taxes may be
increased it is certain that another
loan will be necessary during the next
fiscal year and nnssibly others there
after.
To make the bonds attractive TO in
.vestors Mr.. Glass proposes that he be
clothed with authority to increase the
interest rate on shOrt-term securities,
pay premiums at maturity, and eX-
.empt future and past bonds from tax
alton.
Proposed Bond Program.
The bill submitted by the secretary
of the treasury proposes:
To increase the authorized issue of
bonds from $2O,OOO,0O0,O00 to $25,000,-
100000.
To remove the limitation as to in
,terest rate so far as regards bonds
maturing not more than ten years
from the date of issue.
To authorize the issue of not to eX-
coed $10,000,000,000 of Understanding,
noncirculating notes having maturi-
ties from one to five years.
To authorize the issue of bonds and
notes payable at a premium.
To exempt war-savings certificates
from income surtaXes.
To confer authority upon the sec
rotary of the treasury to determine
the exemptions from taxation in re-
spect to future issues of bonds and
notes and to enlarge the exemptions
of existing Liberty bonds in the hands
'of subscribers for new bonds and
notes.
Tax Exemption Clause.
To exempt from income surtaXeS
and profits taxes, al issues of Liberty
bonds and bonds of the war finance
corporation held abroad
To extend the period for CONVEX
sion of per cent Liberty bonds.
To create a 21a per cent cumulative
sinking fund for the retirement of the
, war debt.
. To continue the existing authority
! for the purchase of obligations of for
! eign governments after the termina-
tion of the war.
To extend the authority of the war
finance corporation so, as to permit
! it to make loans in aid of our COM
merce, thus supplementing the aid
; which may be given by the treasury
on direct loans to foreign govern
: ments and in a measure relieving the
treasury of demands for such loans.
SAT the moment we are in period
; of reimbursement" the secretary said,
! ''to the slackening of industrial and
! commercial activity incident to the
termination of active warfare has
been added the usual dullness of the
winter season.
