How to Borrow Seven Billions
The article explains that the seven billion dollar borrowing will occur in portions over time rather than a single lump sum. After borrowing, funds are spent then loaned onward, with examples like a shoe merchant named Mr. Smith who lends $500 to Uncle Sam.

A June issue explains how a five hundred dollar bill can be used repeatedly to back multiple loans. Uncle Bam borrows from Mr. Smith, uses the money to buy goods, and repays with the same bill. If he keeps borrowing, the same note can finance much larger sums.
