It is nevertheless ressed thint no further Treasury borrowing is being contemplated in the near future since the defells will be financed by social security receipts, The proposed capitalisation of the Commodity Credit Corporation, with i authority to issue its own securities, is regarded as providing a convenient medium for Government spending without directly increasing the na- „tional debt.---Reuter..
