PLANNING TO meet
EXPECTED DEMANDS
REGULAR SERIES SHORT TERM
BONDS TO BE ISSUED BY
FINANCE CORPORATION.
FARM and RAILROAD RELIEF
Officials Contend THAI Interest on
the Bonds Will Not Be in Excess
of Five and a Half Per Cent.

Washington. - Issuance of regular
series of War Finance Corporation
short-term bonds may begin in the
near future in the event Of passage
by Congress Of the pending legisla-
ton to broaden that boGys powers to
include the making Of advances for
agricultural and railroad relief, Off
cials said. Methods of financing for
funds to carry out the large demand
likely to be made on the corporation
II the enabling legislation Is enacted,
officials asserted, may follow the gen.
eral policy of the treasury in raising
money for its current needs.
With authority to issue between
$4,000, 100000 and $4,000, 100000 obli-
cations as Congress may finally de-
termine, officials explained, the cor.
poration would probably go about OBJ
tanning funds as their need arose.
Under such policy, officials declar-
ed, the corporation might begin with
the issuance Of between, S50,000,0OO
and $1OO,OO0,OO0 in short-term bonds
maturing in six months or year and
with interest at the most favorable
rate prevailing at the date Of issu-
ance. At present, officials contended,

NO PRELIMINARY GATHERINGS
Whatever Discussion There Is On the
Aaenda or Program of Conference
Must be Available to All.

Washington. - The United States
Government means to deal fairly by
all the powers invited to the disarma-
ment conference ana therefore IS
frowning upon the suggestion OF a
preliminary parley.
Right at the start the American
government has put its foot down
hard on one of the things that brought
such deluge of criticism on the Ver'
sailles conference, namely the prac-
tiee of a few powers getting of to
one side and framing program which
became a source of suspicion on the
part of the other nations who were
not in on the secret preliminaries.
President Harding and Secretary
Hughes are outlining principles OF
procedure which are American rather
than European. Having invited all
the great powers to a conference the
American government would no. feel
that it was exactly fair to have a pre-
liminary gathering OF a few nations
ahead of time. The United States is
anxious to hold the conference at a
time that is convenient to all, but
nothing would be gained by a hurried
meeting early in the fall in which
matters would be hastily discussed.
Whatever discussion there is on the
agenda or program must be available
to all powers. There will be no Sc,
cret understandings, alliances or en-
tentes within the conference.
