WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 12. —
The Treasury announced the new
financial program is expected to
run well in excess of $2,000,000,000.
Thirty per cent of the $6,268,000,
000 Fourth Liberty Bond issue has
been called for redemption by next
April 15.
The new bond issue was not
specified. The amount announced
is to replace bonds retired and to
provide the government with work
ing capital to the extent that
$500,000,000 in new bonds will be
sold.
Holders of Fourth Liberty Bonds
may exchange them for the equiv
^ alent in the new issue. The trans
fer will be made at par or if hold
er desires, the Treasury will pay
cash. AH owners of Fourth Liberty
* bonds may take advantage of the
offer but Treasury officials hardly
expect those whose bonds were not
called, to do so.
The important distinction be
tween called and uncalled securi
ties is explained that the former
cease to bear interest next April 15.
