The plan requires 24 percent interest on deposits kept in a designated local bank or surrendered for government bonds in 20 denominations. Bonds redeemable in 1 or 20 years. 65 percent must stay in local banks with President can withdraw for state needs. 30 percent withdrawable by the trustees for bond redemption. 5 percent held as reserve in Washington. The aim is to bring hidden funds out of stockings and avoid taxes.
