MILLS DISCUSSES
NEW U.S.F|NANC|NG
Treasury Bill Plan Described
as Beneficial to Gov
eminent.

Before record attendance OF Wash
ington Chapter, American Institute of
Banking, at the Raleigh last night.
Undersecretary of the Treasury Ogden
L. Mills gave the views of the highest
authorities in the Treasury on the pro-
posed new methods of Government
financing by the use of Treasury bills.
The idea Is similar to the plan employed
with brilliant success in Great Britain.
While Mr.. Mills does not consider it
revolutionary, yet 1t Is most important
innovation and has already been pre-
sented to Congress.
The speaker was presented by Presi-
dent Robert v. Fleming of the District
Bankers Association and I. j. Roberts,
chairman of the institutes forum COM
mittee, presided. Mr.. Mills was &C
corded an ovation following his address.
He said, in part:
lone of the primary duties of the
Treasury Department is to see that the
Government always has on hand
sufficient funds to meet its obligations,
including public debt maturities. and
to do so in such way as to effect a
minimum disturbance to money and
business conditions. If taxes and
receipts flowed uniformly throughout
the year, and expenditures ran an even
course month by month, there would be
no real financing problem, but this is
true neither Of receipts nor Of expendi-
lures.
New Plan Described.
"Our present method of financing was
developed during the war. 1t was well
adapted to meet emergency war con-
ditions, and, generally speaking, has
continued to function effectively and
smoothly during the postwar period,
which has witnessed Government
financing of a magnitude second only
to that of the war period. Certain
defects have. however, developed, and
the Treasury Department feels that
they can be remedied and, in addition,
that the Treasury will be in a position
to conduct financing with greater
economy and flexibility If it Is au-
thorized to issue new form of Govern
ment security-that is. Treasury bill,
sold on a discount basis.
THE bill introduced by Senator
Smoot and Representative Hawley would
authorize the Secretary of the Treasury
to issue from time to time Treasury bills
on a discount basis, with a maturity not
exceeding IL months, to be sold for
cash, under competitive conditions, at
the lowest rates bid by prospective pur-
chasers. 1t should be pointed out that,
while this would be a new type of

United States Government security,
there is nothing novel In the form, in
that it would correspond closely to ono
Of the Oldest and best established types
Of commercial paper, the bankers bill
The Treasury bill has been used for
many years by the British Treasury as
most convenient and economical
medium to obtain funds to meet current
needs. They have so, developed the
system of financing by means OF Treas"
ury bills that, with weekly offerings,
daily issues and daily maturities, they
have obtained a degree Of fieXibility
that enables the Treasury to adjust Its
cash positions practically from day to
day. In London the weekly issues aver
age about f50,000,000, and as the bills
are all issued for three months
ing is very large, averaging about $780,
100000. Tt isn't our purpose to proceed
on anything like the British scale, but
we believe that a monthly offering OF
a comparatively small amount of 90
day Treasury bills would offer number
of very definite advantages:
I'm the first place, competitive bid
ding for these bills should enable the
Treasury to get the lowest discount rates
consistent with current market condi-
tions, rather than to be obliged to make
it's best estimate of what rate should
be.
Secondly, certainly as to part of the
expenditures that have to be met during
each quarterly period-and, notably, in
terest payments in April and October
the sale of the Treasury bills could be
SO adjusted as to avoid the borrowing of
funds in advance of requirements, with
a consequent heavy interest cost. More
over, there are periods when 1t is ex-
tremely difficult to estimate with ac-
curacy Government receipts. Under
the new system, should Government re-
ceipts exceed estimates, the cash posi-
ton could be promptly adjusted by per-
hitting Treasury bills to run of with
out new issues; and, conversely II re-
ceiptS fell below estimates, the cash re-
quirements could be met promptly,
without the necessity Of excessive bor-
rowing in advance to provide margin
Of safety.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1929-04-25

"In the third place, these bills could
be made to mature on the actual, ra-
ther than the nominal, dates of tax col
lection.
I'm the fourth place, the discount
rate having been fixed by the market
itself, the securities having been bought
for cash by those who mean either to
hold them as an investment or for
secondary distribution, they would not
be subjected to the same pressure as
ou- present certificates, which, being
paid for by deposit credit, itself an in
ducement to subscribe, are frequently
Immediately resold at less than par,
with damage to the Government credit.
Fifth, ordinarily it would not be
necessary to sell any considerable
amount of bills at times of temporary
stringency and high money rates, such,
for instance, as prevailed In March Of
this wear; and the Treasury would, on
the other hand, be in a position to take
full advantage of periods Of ease.
And, finally. the Government would,
I think, get the full benefit to be de-
rived from furnishing to the public a

DOMESTIC BONDS
CONTINUE STEADY
Foreign Issues Hold Firm
Despite Disturbances in
European Countries.
BY CHARLES F. SPEARE.

epecial Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, April demonstrating
the sharp advance in the discount rate
of the Bank of Germany today and the
political disturbances abroad due to the
Spring elections, the foreign bond mar
ket gave good account OF itself.
German issues, which would be eX-
pected to reflect the European financial
and political development more than
others, were steady. The government
rs actually sold at higher figure than
In several weeks, crossing 106. Some OF
the provincial and municipal bonds
were fractionally lower, and there was a
small decline IN the Central Bank for
Agriculture IS, with which the Ameri-
can market has been most literally sup
piled in the past two years.
Hungarian and Austrian municipalS
reflected the advance in the rediscount
rates in those countries. French and
Belgians were steady. Bolivian Is adj
vanced about point, while the Irish
SIS rose even more to the highest price
of the year in anticipation of another
loan to be negotiated in New York.
There were several significant move
ments in the speculative industrials.
The report of the receivers Of the Wick
wire Spencer Co.. for 1928 made good
comparative showing and permitted the
z per cent bonds to recover all of the
loss of the last two sessions. Cuba Cane
Sugar Is and IS rallied to a level about
points above their low. of the month.
1t is fully expected that the July cou-
pom will be paid. Eastern Cuba Sugar
7l2s were also strong.
Dodge 6s dropped about point at
the opening and then held fractionally
under yesterdays closing. There was
not a great deal of change in the ac-
tive convertihleS, whose trend was low
er most of the day. in sympathy with
the market for stocks.
The strongest junior rails were st.
Paul adjustment 5s and the gold IS,
and Rock Island 41as. Seaboard Air
Line IS were fractionally lower, Mis-
souri, Pacific As dropped a point and
New Haven and Frisco 4;as were
somewhat lower. Chesapeake & Ohio
new Alps have recovered nearly the
full amount of the 5-point break that
followed the dissolution of the syndi-
cate. One of the strong legals today
was Great Northern 412s, rallying a
point.
There were slight concessions in the
U. S. Government list, especially in the
Liberty 3l2s and 4l4s.
The Big Four Railroad is asking au-
thority of the Interstate Commerce
Commission to issue $24,000,000 Az per
cent refunding bonds to retire the SIS
100000 IS due July and for additions
and bettermentS.

 MT. Reed went from here about two months ago to take the place of MT. Stivers, who after becoming i'll, was confined to the Stewart hospital. He failed to respond to the treatment and went to southern California, where he has been under specialists care since. His illness was an extreme case of flu.

many were under misapprehension concerning the purpose of the bill. It sponsors explained to Coolidge that while many persistent violat-
 ors of the Volstead act were for
 eigners, there was nothing in the statutes enabling immigration
 authorities to deport them. By in-
 creasing the maximum penalty and
 making violations felony, the im- migration authorities have power to deport alien violators.

COLD STORAGE
 PLANT MAY BE
 ENLARGED NOW
President George to Place Proposition Before
 Stockholders

Wallis George, President of the Juneau Cold Storage, this morning announced that a program for pro- posed enlargement of the Toe a l plant was to be presented to the stockholders of the company at a special meeting called for next Tuesday night Though no definite statement was forthcoming from MT. George, this announcement, following his return from a six weeks business trip, carried the conviction that, now more than ever, due largely to the condition of the eastern market, there is a clear future for the local plant.
 Mir. George returned to Juneau on the steamer Alameda. When south he travelled as far east as Chicago and there made survey of the halibut market situation and a thorough study of new outlets.
 Market Promising
 "The halibut market situation is this year, more promising than in the past. This is not a little due to the small amount of fish that was on hand at the opening of the season." said MT. George. Last year there was on hand at the opening of the season, in the major eastern markets, 6,000,000 pounds of frozen halibut. This year there was virtually none at any price"
 MT. George explained that due to advertising, the Alaska deep sea food fish are ever increasing in popularity. Halibut takes first place on the list of consumers of the Alaskan deep sea fish, with cod and other varieties following. There products are fast forging in- to the market, that was until few years ago, filled almost entirely by the offshore New England fish.
 People in Chicago and oher east ern cities seemed puzzled when MT. 
 George commented on the severe cold that was prevailing when he was there. They seemed perplexed that being from the Territory of Alaska he should complain of a moderately normal eastern winter. While in Chicago, MT. George said it was below zero, and at several places in Montana it was 25 degrees below" and that was cold, be- lieve me"
 On his return to Seattle from Chicago, MT. George spent about three weeks conferring with off cials of various firms and steam ship lines in connection with the seasons activities for the plan here.
 The trip as a whole, said MT. George, was complete success, and the Juneau Cold Storage will grow and assume greater propor- tions in the future than was antici- pated when the plant was con- structed.
