CANADA SHIMS
BONDS NEW ISSUE.
A second issue of Canada Savings
Bonds, the postwar government secur-
ities which met with popular approval
when they were offered publicly last
fall, will be floated by the government
this year.
Details of the new issue, which
will be offered in the autumn, were
not available, but it as expected they
will bear the same interest rate-2 314
per cent-and the same maturity-40
years-as the 1946 bonds, which sold
to the extent of more titan $500,000,000
Denominations also likely will be
the sainc--$50, $100, $500, and $1,000.
-and there probably will be the same
limit of $2,000 on the amount which
any one individual may purchase,
Government sources emphasize that
these bonds, which replace the war-
time Victory Bonds, are not aimed at
covering the g,overnineat's borrowing
requirements but rather at meeting -a
public demand for savings securities
which was engendered by the wartime
stress placed on the value of thrift,'
Whets it was indicated last year that
the -government planned to discontinue
the Wartime, system of personal say-,
ings, a flood of requests .for its cots-
tinuation came from individuals whin
wanted to 'e Ortthitte to inlest in gov.
ertifileitt Securities.
