WADOD APPROVES WAR CORPORATION _Recommends New Department With Capital of Half Billion Washington, Jan. 29—Creation of a War Finance Corporation by the Gov- srnment to afford financial assistance either directly or indirectly to per ons, firms, corporations and associ tions whose operations are necessary or contributory to the prosecution of the war was asked of Congress Iate esterday by Secretary of the Treas- ury McAdoe. Such aid is to be furnished such organizations tain funds on reasonable terms ‘ private sour The corpo when from ation is to have a capi- tal stock of half a billion dollars, to be subscribed by the United States. The proposed law, submitted by the Secrctary, provides farther the cor- poration may issue its notes or obl zations for eight times its capital stock of half a billion dollars, giving it a financial power almost unlimited. It is provided the corporation shall have the power to license or refuse to license any future capital or security issues, in the interest of the security and defence. Heavy penalty is provided for any attempt at flota- tion not lecensed. Raflroads in Gov- ernment control are excepted from this provision. The legislation proposed is the most far reaching step ever undertaken in national finance. The law would give Government control of practically all financing in the United States during the period of the war and for a nece: sary period of reliquidation after the war. Its effect would be sweeping, taking in as it does every financial operation of importance. It is pro- posed that the widest possible powers be given the corporation. This immense measure of control over all private financial operations would be placed in the hands of the Secretary of the Treasury as chairman of the board of directors, and four associate directors, to he named by him, with the approval of the Presi- dent. The War Finance Corporation would be empowered to advance funds to the enterprises needing such advances either directly or through the regular vanking channels. It is to have a ten year life, but is to cease all but reliquidating operations six months after the end of the war. FEMALE MALEAINGFORD. Rac Hyman Prison for York the woman Mrs, Sent Lon to Term.

Hitherto the Deutsche Tageszeitung has given no grounds for the extraor- dinary interpretation placed on its most recent utterance by the Amster- dam correspondent. It has alw been a staunch supporter of junker politics, the Pan German paper in all Pan German journalism, the organ of the Fatherland Party and ardent sup- porter of the val League and the mouthpieces of the militarist prosram of Count zu Reventlow for indiscrim- s and victory by the Germany’s arms with the of war. carrying out of Reventlow’s program has several times brought the paper into conflict with the Tm- perial Chancellor and the Forcign Of- fic It accused Ambassador Gervard of spying for the Entents two months before the United States entered the war.
