Foreign capital flows are really irrelevant to whether or not the of retiring Treasury debt will shrink the money supply.

My point is that Treasuries are part of the US monetary base. This information is usually found in any description of M1, M2, and M3, such as that printed weekly in Barrons. Or it can be found in Fed literature

Retiring T bonds won't shrink the money supply. It simply converts that part of the monetary base from Treasury instruments into currency.
