i. s. BOARD HAS
WAR FINANCE PLAN
Urges Biweekly Sale of
Bonds in Blocks Until
All Are Sold
MONEY DEMANDS GREAT
WASHINGTON. April 30.

WASHINGTON, April 30.
Demands for money to prosecute the war
against Germany both on the part OF the
United States and of the Entente Allies
are coming so rapidly that the Federal Re
serve Board today laid before Secretary or
the Treasury McAdoo n plan for preten-
tious emergency financing, The board rec
commended that the Treasury issue block
Of Treasury certificates every two weeks
until the war bonds are sold Such blocks
should range from $l50,000,0o0 to 5000
600 900 The board pointed out that such
a system would not only provide the funds
needed quickly, but would place In the
hands of the banks of the country securi-
ties which they can exchange for the war
bonds when they are ready. This would
prevent any sudden drain on the investment
fund of the country which ordinarily would
be caused by the unloading of huge bond
issue.
Secretary McAdoo looks favorably upon
the plan and in all probability will adopt
it, issuing blocks of certificates at regular
intervals. allowing three or four day IN
terval for subscriptions to come in before
| closing the offer.
The Federal Reserve Board today opened
negotiations with the financial members Of
| the French mission. The board entertained
| at luncheon NJ. Casenav, NJ. De Neufize
and NJ. Simon and discussed with these Of
| ncers the needs of the French and the best
| method of meeting them. II was definitely
learned today that the long fight of the
| Federal Reserve Board to get State banks
| and trust companies to join the Federal Re-
serve Board system is about won. The
board has received assurances that those
| institutions are preparing to flock to the
| system upon the passage of the amend.
| ments TO the Federal Reserve act now pend
| ing in Congress. These amendments will
strengthen the gold holdings of the Fed
eral Reserve system and give certain
| privileges to State bank members.
| Under the law national banks only are
| compelled to join the system. Membership
| is voluntary with state banks, and those
| banks have not Joined the system, pre-
| ferring to be free of Federal control Now
| however, the prospect of altered banking
| conditions under the war, and the new
| amendment, are causing the banks to rush
| to the shelter of the reserve system The
| board has received assurances that the bis
| State banks and trust companies in New
| York Chicago, St Louis, Detroit, Mil
| waukee Kansas city, San Francisco, Port
| land, ore (: Seattle and Spokane will joir
| the system as soon as the amendments
| are passed and It Is expected that stat,
| banks and trust companies in other large
| cities will do likewise.
| This action will greatly strengthen th'
| position of the system and make war fnanc
| ing easier by connecting up the entire bank
| ing system of the country, except for smal
| instances, into one unit. This united
| strength will be more wedy than the dis
| organized banking system which heretofore
has obtained and will make the marketing
of the war bonds a smoother operation
