High points: 1) with completion of its present program, the Treasury will have refunded in two years no less than $8,000,000,000 of Wartime loans, and retired, largely from its so-called "gold profit," another $674,000,000 of Panama Canal and Consol bonds; 2) saving in debt service will be $100,000,000 yearly; 3) though the national debt has risen...
