mwv1 TSSSETTiC S52S!ej2 lV ' IV 1. if '&. h i a t GOSSIP OF OPINIONS IN FINANCIAL CIRCLES VARY ON FORM OF VICTORY LOAN Bankers Agree Issue Must Be Made Attractive. by High Interest Rate Short-Term Notes Gain Favor. Gossip of the Street mUGKE 1 a wllo variety of opinion In financial cliclea In this city over tlio refusal of the Ways and Means Committee to Errant the re quests of Socretary of the Treasury Glass In reference to the next Vic tory Loan. Somo financiers aro In favor of tho stand taken by the ' committee, while others aro equally opposed to It. Thero seems, how. ever, no difference of opinion about tho Impropriety of leaving tho final decision on a. matter of such vital Importance until almost tho last mlnuto and then to split over it. Ono banker who approved of tho view taken by tho Secretary of tho Treasury said he know that Mr. Glass had for nomo time piiBt been In closo touch with tho leading financiers of tho country, of all shades of politics, getting their views as to the best form In which to put out tho loan so as to lnsuro unqualified success, and that his recommendations wore the result of these conferences. "What Is tho need for having u Secretary of tho Treasury," ho asked, "if his ndvlco Is not taken? Why should ho bo asked to assumo tho responsibility of an undertaking of such magnitude if ho Is placed In tho position of a clerk, simply to rccelvo and act on tho instructions of others?" Loan Must Be Made Attractive by High Interest Rate Another banker tool: a different view. Ho Is in favor of the sugf-s-tions of tho Ways and Means Committee. To flo.it successfully a $6,000,000,000 loan at the present time, he remarked, It must bo made attractive by a hlg'n Interest ratoj but If the government would Issue a bond carrying .a sufficiently high Interest rate It would "play tho oKl hobb" with savings banks, with high-grade ralltoad and other such bonds. The result would bo disastrous, ho said. The manager of an old established banking concern said he was in favor of tho government Issuing short-term notes, renewablo from tlmo to tlmo If necessary, Instead of an Issue of the size of the Victory Loan. Ho said ho believed tho government could get along by peddling Mich notes from tlmo to tlmo to meet emergencies, and that tho proceeds, In addition to tho enormous sums for taxation which will bo coming In. a well as interest on foreign loans and refunds from tho railroads and In dustrial plants for money advanced during tho war peilod, would go a long way to meet tho requirements of tho government. It seems de plorable, ho remarked, that of nil civilized governments ours is tho only ono which has not adopted tho budget system. If wo had such a system the public could easily find out at nny tlmo how tho govern ment stood as regards income and expenditures; but with the present hit-and-miss system ho questioned If any qno at Washington could tell just how the finances of tho government stand within hevcral billions of dollars. S Among some of'thosx who have taken a tuomlnent part In the paist loan campaigns and who wero getting ready to Join In the Victory campaign there seemed to bo a dlscreot reserve, but underneath tho surface It was evident thero was no sympathy for the action of tho Ways and Means Committee. Ono of tho number said: "If tho Ways and Means Committee wants its short-term notes sold, it can set somo ono else to sell them," Indicating that ho was not tho one. Difficulty of Floating Victory Loan at Present Outside tho usual talk on tho trend of tho market, discussion in tho financial district circled jesterday principally around tho action of tho Ways and Means Committee. Ton aid tho close of the day opinion in favor of the committee's suggestion to isbue $6,000,000,000 In Miort-tcrm notes was gaining In favor. Those who held such opinion based it primarily on the difficulty of floating the Victory Loan at the present time. They seem to think the lack of the war spirit would count heavily In another campaign. In speaking of the matter, a banker said tho question had also como up as to tho convertibility of tho 3VJ per cent LIbe:ty Bonds, which are convertible into any bonds Issued during the war earning a higher Interest rate, but they are not convertible into short-teun notes. Tie remarked that in characterizing the securltlts to be Issued as "notes" tho Ways and Means Committee had forestalled any hopo of such conver sion. At tho same time, he said, should the notes carry a higher interest rate than 3 per cent such a technicality should not bo permitted to stand In tho way of those who would wish trt convert, ns thete is no difference between a bond and a noto except that which has been estab lished by custom, the trade generally recognizing secuiltles issued for a. term of thrco yeais or less as notes and thoso'for flvo years or mote hb bonds, although many notes aio issued for a five- car period. It is generally acknowledged In the absence of official confirmation that the adoption of the committee's tcntatlvo suggestion to Issue notes means tho abandonment of the Victory Loan campaign, notwithstand ing Secretary Glass's statement to the contrary. Tho reason given for this Is that tho public would not buy short-term notes, and that In any case they would bo taken up by the banks und trust companies, and later on, when conditions are moro favorable, long-term bonds could bo Issued on better terms by tho government than would be posslblo now.
