"The commission has been
struggling for nine years and
has found this mandate iEnDOssi-
bic Of execution because. under
our COnstitution, the commission,
or Congress itself, has NO power
to make anyone sell anything he
does mot want to sell, or at an

Announcement that the Treasury

go in eM per cent Treasury notes
of the Series A.1930-32 in acquisi-
tton Of funds for the sinking fund
was made today by Secretary An

This makes over 500, 900 900 pur-
chased for the sinking fund 30 far
this fiscal year, whereas during the
1irst Is days Of 1898 no purchases
were made.
Automatically this sum has been
made available to the general money
market. and to that degree oper-
ates to ease credit conditions. The
Treasury apparently has taken this
means OF easing credit and at the
same time taken advantage OF the
situation in the sGovernment bond
market to acquire securities for the
sinking fund and to thereby re-
duce interest charges.
In accordance with the terms Of
the offer payment for the notes ten
