Morrison proposes using Treasury surplus to pay public debt
The author argues Treasury surplus above 100 million should be lawfully applied to the public debt immediately. He cites a Treasury balance near 287 million and 144 million in callable 3 percent bonds, with weekly interest of about 87 thousand, urging the public to act to halt the supposed betrayal of public trust.
