Victory Loan Passage Sparks Senate Action on Bonds
The Senate early Sunday approved a 7,000,000 loan bill after House passage, authorizing the Treasury to issue short term notes up to 7,000,000 with wide discretion for terms. Officials acknowledge only about 5,000,000 will be used initially, and higher interest and tax policies are needed to attract buyers. Patriotism is unlikely to fully substitute for market terms, and debates touch on league of nations and postwar policy.
