thority for saying that the (Jnvernment
contemplate a new financial expedient
to meet the circumstances of the war.
It provides for something In the nature
of an emergency currency, differing In
Important respect from the Treaaury
note now In rlrrulntlon and offering
certain advantage not only to the Gov

It Is probable that the project wa
put forward In connection with the dis
turbance of the foreign exchanges,
which haa so affected sterling bill and
haa resulted In the Joint British and
French finance commission now In New
York. There In an Impression here thai
the originators of the scheme took a leaf
from the book of expedients with which
American finance Is familiar, but In any
event It I understood that the plan
has passed the point of mature con

In Its general outline the plan pro

presumably be that the bonds outstand

"The mechanical Improvements which
