Major
Harold

Would
Use
National
Credit
to
Pay
Off
Domestic
Held
Part

Debt
VANCOUVER,
Feb.
6:
(CP)
Utilization
of
the
national
credit
to
retire
the
domestically
held
part
of
the
national
debt
was
advocated
by
Major
Harold
Brown,
managing
director
of
the
Union
Steamship
Co.
and
former
president
of
the
Vancouver
Board
of
Trade,
in
giving
an
address.
Reviewing
the
Dominion
debt
problem,
Major
Brown-outlined
a
solution
to
provide
retirement
of
the
domestically
held
debt
as
it
becomes
due
by
the
issuance
of
non-interest
bearing
currency
which
automatically
would
be
extinguished
over
a
fifty-year
period
at
a
two
percent
annual
rate.
Taxation
would
take
care
of
the
two
percent
rate
which
would
replace
the
present
interest
paid
on
debts.
