Treasury Chief Says Forced Savings Needed If Bonds Fail
Secretary Henry Morgenthau Jr. said forced savings will be required to supplement voluntary bond purchases to fund war costs. He warned Congress a future forced savings plan would be pursued if current tax bills do not provide one, criticizing the Senate's victory tax as insufficient to close the 20 to 30 billion dollar annual gap between income and goods. He also noted Treasury spending taxes could have helped, and admitted his view now accepts the failure of the voluntary bond plan.
