TREASURY FINANCE
PLAN IS EXPLAINED
Discounted Bill System Has
Been Used by Britain for
Many Years.
BY CHARLES F. SPEARE.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, December 5.-The por-
tons of the annual report of Secretary
of the Treasury Mellon yesterday which
most interested bankers and dealers in
Government securities were those de-
voted to an exposition Of the proposed
new method of Treasury financing with
discounted bills.
Mr.. Mellon reviews in his report the
development Of Short-tcrm Government
financing through the issue of certifi-
Gates of indebtedness This medium
was put in use extensively for the first
time during the war. 1t was found
accessory to issue certificates in large
quantities in anticipation of loans and
Uf tax receipts. The banks throughout
the country were encouraged to sub
scribe to them. Subscribing institutions
made payments for the certificates al
lotted to them not in cash but in book
credits, which was a convenience to the
Government.
After-War Practice.
At the end of the war the certificate
Of indebtedness continued as a means
of taking care of current Government
requirements, and it was put to an
equally important use in the refunding
of Liberty bonds. Maturities of the
different series of certificates were made
TO coincide with tax dates and also with
the amount of anticipated tax receipts.
During the years of easy money the
Treasury was able to reduce Govern
ment interest charges by retiring ma
turing certificates with new series at
a lower coupon rate. In the past year
and a half it has been compelled on
several occasions to advance the rate
of interest on new certificates over that
of long-term loans, which were being
taken up in part with the proceeds OF
these certificates. In general, however,
the certificate of indebtedness has been
of advantage in reducing total interest
requirements. Secretary Melons re-
port indicates that between August 81,
1919, when the peak of the war deb:
was reached-at $26,594 ,267, 878-to Au-
gust 81. 1929, when it was down to
SI6,905, 433,17l, the annual interest
charge declined Al per cent, while the
Understanding debt was reduced
trif1e over 81 per cent, or, in round
figures, approximately $4,000 100000.
The purpose of inaugurating a new
kind of Government issue is reviewed
at some length in the Treasury report
The differences between financing with
Treasury bills instead of certificates are
mainly those by which the proceeds of
the sale are received in cash instead
Of in deposit credits at depository banks,
the payments of discount in advance
rather than of interest at regular in
tervals and the fixing of price and
of a discount rate by competitive bid
ding instead of the sale of certificates
at par with the interest rate fixed by
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1929-12-05
the Government in line with current
market conditions.
Advantages Of Method.

The advantages of the new method,
according to Secretary Mellon, are
manifold Among them are the ability
of the Treasury. out of competitive bid
ding for bills, to realize the lowest dis
count rates consistent with market con-
ditionS and the sale of bills to coincide
exactly with the need for funds, and
in this way save interest on money
borrowed before it is required. Other
benefits are in timing maturities to the
actual collection of income taxes and
to take advantage of periods of seasonal
use for short-term borrowing instead of
offering large issues of securities during
a period of temporary money stringency.
One of the troubles of the Treasury
Department in its financing operations
the past year has been the difficulty
of holding new issues at their original
price. Several of them dropped we'll
below par shortly after they were put
out, to the embarrassment of the Gov
eminent. Secretary Mellon believes that
this will be obviated under the new
arrangement since the discount rate is
fixed by the market and the bills are
bought for cash by those who mean
either to hold them as investments or
for secondary distribution.
Finally, an advantage is to be found
in that "the banks and the investing
public will be furnished with a new
instrument for the investing of tempo
rary surplus funds with frequent and
convenient maturities."
