The successful conclusion of the Victory loan marked the end of war borrowing and the beginning of the transition to postwar debt management.

But the right honorable gentleman, as prudent in suppressing as skilful in bringing forward his matter, has not chosen to tell you that the Presidency were the very persons guilty of contracting this loan, creditors themselves, and agents and trustees for all the other creditors.
