Of this total $4,000.000,- 000 worth is for a new allied loan; $3,- 000,000,000 worth is to take over a three and a half perocent. issue already authorized and the remaining $538,945,- 460 to be used for converting certain outstanding bonds, including the Dan- ish West Indies, Alaskan railway, Pan- Amerioan Canal and naval construc- tion issues.

These issues are to be subject to the same taxes as the bonds. The bill provides that foreign bonds taken in exchange for loans, shall not be sold at less than the purchase price.
