Debt Falls by 705.6 Million in March Report
Washington April 3 The treasury reported a $705.6 million drop in the national debt for March, bringing the total to $24.698 billion. Officials said the figure is not a basis for forecasting monthly declines but shows progress in postwar financing as government expenditures remain high. March mainly retired certificates from tax anticipation, with previous monthly reductions listed from October to February. Future declines depend on new appropriations and tax legislation, with sinking fund effects expected to grow. The current debt composition includes $15.6168 billion in liberty bonds, $4.4227 billion in victory notes, and $2.6672 billion in prior bonds.
