Reducing the surplus The Administration Satisfied with the Result

Washington May 5. Bond purchases by the Treasury have raised total buys in two weeks to 10 495 400, including 6 305 450 of 4 per cent bonds due 1907 and 4 189 950 of 4 per cent bonds due 1891. If kept, yearly buys could exceed 250 million, wiping out the surplus twice over, though future offerings likely slow. The plan helps prevent contraction of money and avoids a tax reform substitute. Republicans blame Democrats, while some praise the system as saving money compared with interest and maturity redemptions.
