WILL REFUND
HALF BILLION

day to refund $460,099 900 of matur-
ing q per cent short term certifi-
Gates of indebtedness with longer
term year per cent notes as a
part of Secretary of Treasury Henry

099,000 of q per cent month GER
tificateS. These securities will be ac-
cepted for subscription to the new
securities.
The relatively high interest rate
en- the refunding issues is accounted
for by their longer maturity and
theiSsue was considered in some
quarters as a test" of the ability of
the government to borrow large ad-
ditional sums at relatively long ma
turtles.
The March financing did not pro-
vide for theborroWing of any new

pite the huge $5,O00,0 100000 cash

pected that still more money would
