If you were in Mr.. Humphreys
office today and if you asked him
how he felt about this, he would
say to you, in effect:
Its not pleasant for us, nat

essential because it's our major
weapon against price rises. Ar
increasing interest burden is q

Admittedly, the climbing debt
cost could be a comparatively
cheap price to pay-if the money
squeeze really does control the
price-wage spiral.
But it's still a price and it's
price millions of us are paying
out of own own pockets. AnC

YOUR
MONEYS WORTH
u. S. Extends an !. 0. u.
BY SYLVIA PORTER

The United States Govern
ment has a big loan coming due
December /. Secretary of the
Treasury Humphrey hasn't any
thing near the cash on hand to
pay it off-so, just as any private
citizen would do, on Monday Mr..
Humphrey went to the investors
who hold the Governments
IOUs and asked them to extend
the loan for six to nine months.
Most of the investors will have
agreed to do so by midnight.
But to get them to agree, the
Treasury had to offer to pay
them interest at the rate of 3i4
per cent!
Now, mind you, this is no ordi-
nary borrower. This is the Gov
.ernment itself.
Yet, Mr. Humphrey had to offer
314 per cent to get a loan ex-
tended until next June or Oc-
tober. And the reason he had to
do so is that today every type of
borrower = from the Treasury
downs scrambling for loans,
and credit is being rationed. The
Treasury isn't being protected
against the competition as it
was during World War II and
the early postwar years. What's
more it's not asking for protec-
ton.
Pressure Cited
If Mr.. Humphrey hadn't paid
the interest rate dictated by the
market, the investors who hold
the December I. o. Us. simply
would have shrugged, told the
Treasury "give us our cash."
And that would have set off a
chain reaction so weird I shudder
even to contemplate it.
''All this is very interesting, -
say you at this point, "but what
does it mean to me?" It means
plenty.
For every fraction of a per cent
increase in the interest rate
the Treasury pays for the money
it must borrow adds millions of
dollars to the cost of carrying
the national debt.
You and I pay this extra cost
The cost of carrying the ma
tional debt is key factor in the
swelling national budget. AS ar
illustration:
In the past IL months, the
Understanding debt of our
Government has remained i'm
IpreSsively stable. In mid-1955
the debt was just under $271
billion. Today, it's just under
$273 billion.
