The bonds will be dated and bear interest from June 15, 1931, will mature on June 15, 1949, and will be redeemable at the option of the United States on and after June 15, 1946. The amount of the offering is $800,000,000 or thereabouts. Applications will be received at the Federal Keserve Banks. The Treasury will accept in payment for the new Treasury bonds, at par, Treasury certificates of indebtedness of Series TJ-1931 and TJ2-1931 both maturing June 15, 1931. Subscriptions for which payment is to be tendered in certificates of indebtedness maturing June 15, 1931, will be given preferred allotment up to $325,000,000. The Treasury bonds will be issued both in bearer and registered form, in denominations of $50, $100, $500, $1,000, $5,000, $10,000 and $100,000. The registered bonds will also be issued in the $50,000 denomination. These bonds will be exempt, both as to principal and interest, from all taxation now or hereafter imposed by the United States, any State, or any of the possessions of the United States, or by any local taxing authority, except (a) estate or inheritance taxes, and (b) graduated additional income taxes, commonly known as surtaxes, and excess-profits and war-profits taxes, now or hereafter imposed by the United States, upon the income or profits of individuals, partnerships, associations, or corporations. The interest on an amount of bonds and certificates (but not including any certificates of indebtedness issued after June 17, 1929, because they were on that date made exempt from all taxation except estate and inheritance taxes) authorized by the Act approved September 24, 1917, as amended, the principal of which does not exceed in the aggregate $5,000 owned by any individual, partnership, association or corporation, shall be exempt from the taxes provided for in said clause (b) above.

Subject to the terms of this offering and to the provisions of Treasury Department Circular No. 92, dated October 1, 1928, as amended, special depositaries will be permitted to make payment for Treasury bonds of this issue by credit to "War Loan Deposit Accounts"; and in this connection the attention of special depositaries is called to the fact that, by the 1931 Fourth Supplement to Treasury Department Circular No. 92 Revised, the rate of interest to be paid on daily balances in the "War Loan Deposit Accounts" by special depositaries was reduced from 1 per cent per annum to }4 per cent per annum effective June 1, 1931.

The bonds will be acceptable to secure deposits of public moneys, but do not bear the circulation privilege and are not entitled to any privilege of conversion. The bonds will be subject to the general regulations of the Treasury Department, now or hereafter issued, governing United States bonds.

Banking institutions generally will handle applications for subscribers, but only the Federal Reserve Banks are authorized to act as official agencies. The right is reserved to reject any subscription, in whole or in part, and to allot less than the amount of bonds applied for and to close the subscriptions at any time without notice; the Secretary of the Treasury also reserves the right to make allotment in full upon applications for smaller amounts, to make reduced allotments upon, or to reject, applications for larger amounts, and to make classified allotments and allotments upon a graduated scale; and his action in these respects will be final. Allotment notices will be sent out promptly upon allotment, and the basis of allotment will be publicly announced.

Treasury certificates of indebtedness of Series TJ-1931 and TJ2-1931, both maturing June 15, 1931, will be accepted at par in payment for any Treasury bonds of the issue now offered which shall be subscribed for and allotted, with an adjustment of the interest accrued, if any, on the bonds so paid for. GENERAL PROVISIONS As fiscal agents of the United States, Federal Reserve Banks are authorized and requested to receive subscriptions and to make allotments on the basis and up to the amounts indicated by the Secretary of the Treasury to the Federal Reserve Banks of the respective districts.
