N. Y. M ay 14, 1951. T o the C h ief E xecu tive Officer o f the L i f e Insurance Company A d d ressed : W e wish to call your attention to Bulletin N o. 3 o f the national V oluntary Credit Restraint Committee regarding the postponem ent o f State and local governm ent borrow ing, released M ay 7, 1951, and to the letter b y M r. Charles E. W ilson, D irector, Office o f D efense M obili zation, sent M ay 7, 1951 to the G overnors o f all States and to officials o f municipalities, seek ing their cooperation in postponing State and local governm ent borrow ing. W e heartily endorse the principles set fo rth in the bulletin and letter. W e wish to emphasize the follow in g paragraphs o f the bulletin: It is sometimes difficult in individual cases to differentiate essential from nonessential expendi tures and to sort out those programs which should be undertaken immediately from those which it would be desirable to postpone. Therefore, certain tests are suggested to financing institutions coop erating in the V oluntary Credit Restraint Program to be used in arriving at financing decisions in discussions with municipal authorities. S oldiers’ bonus issues are inflationary under tod a y ’s conditions. They add to the spending power o f the public through the creation o f credit. It would seem desirable to postpone such issues until a time when immediate purchasing power is needed to counteract unemployment and when it might be more beneficial to the veteran. A m ong the types o f State and local governm ent capital outlays fo r which, in the judgm ent of the Committee, the financing should be postponed are: 1. Replacement o f any existing facilities that can continue to perform their function during the emergency period. 2. Construction o f facilities o f the types not recommended by the Defense Production Adm inis tration— such as recreational facilities and w ar memorials. 3. A cquisition o f sites or rights-of-way not immediately needed. 4. Purchase o f privately-owned utilities by municipalities, which involves borrow ing to replace equity capital. F razar B. W il d e , Chairman.
