Government WILL
REFUND Millions
Victory Notes, Savings
Stamps and Short
Issues Mature in 1928.
BY L. A. FLEMING.

Senate financial authorities now adj
nit that the government will Eave to
refund the outstanding victory notes
and war savings stamps, together with
the three-year notes recently issued
by the Treasury Department in lieu
: of certificates. and also some short
term certificates.
This means that in addition to the
heavy taxes that must be collected 10
keep the machinery of government
moving the people Of the United states
= will be asked to provide between
1900 .OOO and sS.0O0,000 for this re-
funding operation.
Efforts were made to avoid TINS
burden. through making some coiiec-
tions from our debtor nations put
this plan was abandoned when 1t be-
came evident that partial payments
ON account of interest were conSid-
cred impossible.
Holders of victory notes will be
asked to consider taking new securi-
ties, and as these notes are selling IN
the open market not far from their
par value-from s9s.72 to $sS.94-it
will not be severe loss to the gov
ernment as a result of the operation
to sell in the open market.
AS for the war savings stamps and
other maturing paper. it VIII be neces-
Senator Smoot is reported as say
ing: There is absolutely no way
around this. We will be lucky if we
get enough revenue to meet current
expenses and obligations. We must
refund the 1923 obligations. There
will not be enough taxes to touch it.
even if We keep the heavy burden on
the American people that they are now
laying.
It might be well for corporations
hsving financing to do in 1928 to re-
member that the government must be
supplied. when ready to ask assist
ance from the people. and to advance
their own corporate financing year
AT least in order not to come into
competition with the government.
/ 1t is understood the Potomac Elec-
trio Company and the Washington
Railway and Electric. Company con-
template to advance their refunding
operations to the Immediate future to
avoid this competition.
Moreover. the money market at this
time is decidedly easy and may be
even more so after the crop move
~ment.
Ii business improvement has really
tulYed the corner and is scheduled
fo- continued betterment. as many
believe, there will be small chance for
row current.
The present ease is due in large
part to the disposition of bankers to
prevent speculation and hasty ex-
pansion.

Lake Traffic Present Year
35 Per Cent of 1920 Fiqures

DETROIT. September (SpeciaD.-
Lake traffic for this year, it is esti-
mated, will show only about IS per
cent as much tonnage moved as in
1920. Idle freighters are SO numer-
Gus at present that tying up slips
at lake ports are at q premium.
There are nine boats tied up at
Toledo. some of them forced into
slips SO short and shallow that the
boats extend many feet into the.
channel of the Maumee river. At St.
Clair, Mich, idle boats have been
packed as far as they would go into
a small creek. 1t is estimated that
shipments from the Lake Superior
district, which includes Escanaba,
Duluth and Ashland, UP to the end
of August were just about half those
for 1920. The normal tonnage for the
district is sixty million tons.
