Instead of the frequent offerings of recent months, . the Treasury plans much larger offerings at less frequent possibly two months apart Instead of opening subscription books briefly and relying upon subscribers to come rushing in, the Treasury appar- ently plans to keep them open longer and to put on subscribers other than intervals, an intensive drive to sell | commercial banks. In short, wartime finance is going to be put on a wholesale seale. This is all to the good. The soaring money needs for war de- mand the change Present estimates are that Government revenues in this fiscal year, even allowing for the new tax bill, will amount to about $21,000,000,000, leaving a deficit of about $63,000,000,000. After borrowing from Government trust accounts there will remain more than $60,000,000,000 to be borrowed from the banks, the public, insurance companies and other institu- This is a huge advance over earlier estimates.

Every dollar of the debt that is financed through expanded bank credit adds to the dangers of inflation. Moreover, that portion of the debt which is the commercfal banks should be distributed as wide- ly as possible and not concentrated in the few big banks of Nev That calls for a change from the recent methods.
