on condition that it be assigned con-

Senator'S Approve
Lifting Of Limit
On u. ). Bonds
Mor9enthou Testifies in
Favor Of Removing
80 Billions Top
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Senate Finance Committee
approved today legislation eliminat.
ing the $4,000 100000 top limit on
the amount Of Federal bonds which
may be outstanding.
Committee action on the House
approved measure was unanimous
after Secretary of the Treasury
Morgenthau had testified in its
favor.
Under present law the Govern
ment may have a total indebted
ness of $4,000, 100000, but only
$50 ,000, 100000 of that amount may
be in bonds.
Secretary Morgenthau also re-
neWed before the committee his
recommendation that existing tax
exemptions on Federal and State
securities be eliminated.
He told the Senators the Treas
ury already was within 81 1,697 ,00O,-
600 of the bond limit.
Limit O. X. for Fiscal Year.
The Secretary reiterated that the
$45 900, 100000 limit for all kinds of
Treasury debt would be sufficient
for the next fiscal year and said
the Treasury was not asking any
modification of that at this time.
Now at record high of s40,240,- =
436, 500, the debt is expected to rise
about another $1,000 900, 900 in the
fiscal year beginning July /, because
Of another large deficit.
Using public debt figures as of
April 30," Secretary Morgenthau
said, "the Treasury could issue S.
043 ,000, 900 face amount of additional
public debt obligations under au-
thoritv of the Second Liberty Bond
Act.
"On the basis of the latest budget
estimates, this balance appears
to be sufficient to carry the Treasury
well into 1910 (the fiscal year 1910
which ends June 80, 1940. I do not
believe, therefore, that it is neces-
sary to request at this time an in
crease in the limitation on the total
debt that may be issued and out
standing.
Within 81 1897 ,000, 900.
THE limitation of $4,000, 900 900
on outstanding bonds presents,
however, different problem. The
additional amount of bonds which
the Treasury can issue under this
authority and within this limita-
ton is $l,697 100000.
Taking into consideration our
cash requirements between now and
June 30, 1910, the monthly issuance
of United States Savings CBaby)
bonds and the refunding operations
which the Treasury will have to
conduct within the next IL months,
it seems quite clear that the bal
ance of $1,697 100000 will not be
sufficient to give the Treasury that
latitude required in its financial
operations up to June 30, 194O."

LONDON, May 26.-Great Britain
today sent to Soviet Russia her
detailed formula for a British
French-Russian mutual assistance
pact and invited Marshal Klementi
E. Voroshiloff, Soviet Commissar
of War, to attend British army
maneuvers.
France arranged to hand the text
of the proposed pact to Jakob
Surits, Soviet Ambassador to Paris,
at pm, the same time set for
delivery of the British copy in Mos
cow to Premier and Foreign Com
missar Vyacheslaff Molotoff.
The invitation to Voroshiloff
came as surprise and was seen
as move timed to strengthen the
British-French front by indicating
the friendliness between Britain
and Russia.
Formula Sent to Seeds.
The mutual assistance formula,
which followed a preliminary note
to Moscow yesterday, was dis
patched to Sir William Seeds, Brit
ish Ambassador to Moscow, for
delivery.
Since the proposals were worked
out after conferences in Geneva
among Foreign Secretary Viscount
Halifax, French Foreign Minister
Georges Bonnet and Ivan Maisky,
Soviet Ambassador to London, Brit
ish officials believed it would meet
with Russia's approval at least on
main points.
Hope was expressed in official
circles for a definite agreement
within a week or ten days which
would add Russia to the British
French front.
Informed sources said Poland, the
United States and other countries
which had been keeping in close
touch with Britain were told of the
contents of the note.
Reported Points in Plan.
The new proposals were reported
to include:
/. A mutual assistance pact which
would come into operation in the
event of direct aggression upon the
European territory of any one of
the three signatories. A conflict be-
tween Russia and Japan would be
outside the scope of such a pact.
2. Provision for consultation in
the event of direct aggression upon
territories of any state guaranteed
by the three signatories.
3. Consultations among the gen.
eral staffs of the three powers to
insure efficient collaboration if they
were called into action.
