Favorable Action Probable on Potter Bond Refunding Bill
Washington March 5 The House Ways and Means Committee has shown strong support for Representative Potter New Yorks plan to refund United States bonded debt at two and one half percent interest to ease currency and banking conditions. The measure exchanges three percent bonds for two and a half percent bonds with tax relief for circulating notes and aims to reduce overall interest costs while preserving debt payment schedules. The bill also covers exchanges for four and a half percent bonds and allows present worth calculations to time repayments, with banks benefiting from shifting currency provisions. A duplicate copyright bill by Senator Sherman would grant newspapers exclusive rights to print and sell content for eight hours, with remedies for infringements.
