New York Banker Opposes Massive Government Bond Issue
J Herbert Case of the New York Federal Reserve told the House Ways and Means Committee that issuing 2.5 billion in government bonds to fund cash bonuses for World War veterans would cut market value of existing bonds by about 1 billion and delay postwar recovery by limiting financing for municipalities and industry. He warned the bonds could not be sold at favorable rates and would raise credit risk, noting 65 to 70 percent of bonds are held by banks and corporations already strained by bank failures.
