The Victory Bonds were oniy of five years duration and when they were issued - the government knew the Allies wouldn't be ready to pay. any of the principal so the American people are in effect asked to wait by accepting new treasury certificates instead. The Treasury is in process now of exchanging Victory Bonds for new Treasury certificates. The total amount of the war debt is twenty three and a half billions and with the soldier bonus bond issue the amount would be approximately twenty five billion dollars. The financiers at the Treasury fear that to add a billion and a half to America's total debt by borrowing through bonds would be to depre ciate the value ofall Liberty Bonds and to make the American dollar worth just so much less because of the added burden of debt Imposed on America's resources. To the argument that the bond market can readily ab- eorb the new issue, officials say th-ere's no doubt of it but that if new government bonds are issued, just so much money which would have beea available to private business as a stimulus to industrial revival will be" cut oft and normalcy delayed. The business interests of the country share this view in the main and are opposing the bonus tooth and nail and particularly a bond issue. - .
