Peace Will Require Another War Loan In Spring
Washington reports that peace will not quickly ease the government's finances. Treasury says monthly expenses of about 4.5 billion dollars will persist through winter, with another war loan in the spring. Ally loans continue, and future offerings may be labeled victory peace or rebuilding loans. Senate leaders debate whether the big revenue bill should be cut, with taxes near 6.25 billion dollars.
