Bankers Here Seek
Help IN Financing
Corporate Needs
Will Ask Federal Reserve
Board to Rediscount
Short Term Notes

Definite steps will be taken thl, week
BY New York bankers to learn whether,
In purchasing the short term notes o.
industrial and railroad corporations
they will be able TO rediseoun. them q.
the Federal Reserve Bank. This move,
1t was learned yesterday, Was deciaed
upon because the huge amount Of gov
eminent financing already done and In
prospect makes 1t inadvisable to offer
corporate securities In large blocks to
the public.
The plan most favored by bankers
here upon whom will fall the burden
Of financing the more imme dia.e re-
guirements of corporations provides
FOR the issuance OF ninetv-day notes
renewable FOR = year II necessary. the
renewal TO be guaranteed By . banking
syndicate.
Reserve Board May Act
New legislation may be required 70
make securities Of this character re-
discountabls 1t the Federal Reserve
Bank: Bankers hope, however, that IL
may be found within the powers Of the
Federal Reserve Board to make .
favorable ruling on the subject
Under the provisions Of the Reserve
act. as IL 10 now written, only paper
based on commercial transactions and
arising from certain export operations
can be taken to the Federal Reserve
Bank and rediscounted. With the in
vestment market closed TO eorporste
financing except at very high rates Of
interest varying anywhere between 8
and 10 per cent, it 10 urged by bankers
that the direct shert-term obligations
Of corporations should for the period
OF the war At least be placed in the
same class as commercial paper.
With closing Of the second Liberty
Loan campaign bankers were hopeful
that the general investment situation
would take a turn for the better. The
severe decline in security prices on the
Stock Exchange last week, however,
served to make the outlook moro
gloomy than ever. In some circles 1t
was predicted that security values must
undergo even greater readjustnents
before they conform to the conditions
resulting from the entrance Of the
United States into the world var.
Liquid Investments Needed
With the exception Of munieipAls,
with their tax exempt provisions, de-
clines in bonds over the last few
months have been almost as sensational.
as the break in stocks. The average
price of ten high grade issues is new
about II points below the high poin.
of The year.
with this condition existing bankers
realize that it Is out Of the question
TO attempt 20 foat any long tenn COR
porate bond issues and that short time
obligations will meet with but indif-
ferent success unless special provision
j, made so that the banks can consider
them as liquid investments.

! war; A great many other authori-
ties disagree with Mr.. Schif's con-
ciusion, however. Recently, for in
stance, when the suggestion was adj
vanced that the government loan the
railroads S500,OO0,OO0 out of the pro-
ceeds Of the Liberty bond sales, one
of the country's leading railroad
men, asked for his opinion on the
subject, said that IF the government
should offer to loan the railroads any
amount, even without interest. mere
ly on condition that they apply for
the money, only one road in the en-
tire Eastern district would even
think of making application" And
what applies to railroads spplies
with equal force TO industrials. The
plan is, nevertheless, feasible, and
lacking a better one it should be
adopted. But there is another way
Of providing for corporate needs
without raising the spectre of gov
eminent ownership, though it, too,
has many flaws. If corporate bor-
rowers would issue notes in some
form acceptable to the hanks. and
special legislation were enacted un-
der which the banks could rediscount
the notes at the Federal Reserve
banks, ample working capital could
be provided and at low cost. There
are, as has been said, objections to
both Of these plans, but apparently
one or the other must be adopted.
The sooner this fact is recognized
the better, for the situation becomes
more acute with the passing of each
day.
