War Corporation Plans.
(WalI Street Journal.

| NdlI SIIS6C journal
 To enlarge the War Finance Cor poratiOns powers to make direct loans might easily produce serious complications in a situation already invo we'd. The corporation has TO power to borrow except through an issue limited to three billions of bonds. If the limits on direct trans actions are enlarged, it is probable the only channel to circulation for it's bonds will have to be changed and increased. Canalization for it's bonds was provided in the privilege given to member banks to rediscount eligible paper secured by the bonds Apparently it was the intention that the corporation should itself keep it's own notes, accounts and securities receivable, under lock and key.
 Amendment to the charter in any direction will be a courageous and ambitious undertaking. With the suggested increase in it's direct trans actions it would engage in active and expanding business in stocks and bonds. The United States as it's owner might be easily and justly constrained, even for the ultimate protection of it's own bonds, to steps marking a great advance in the s1l- pervision and control of the life and death of every new and old corpor- ate enterprise worth while.
 Whatever similarity there may ho between this plan and the Aldrich plan heightens the fundamental diff ference between them. One banking critic says: Tt has been a recog- nized and successful policy of nearly sixty years financing to give to the government bond alone access to tho entire concrete base of national credit" From this view there may be dissent. It represents conserva- tive thought, however, which realizes that in dignlfying private securities the government cannot but eventual ly lower the value Of it's own.
 Such great strides have been mades in government control over banking as to seem almost unrealizable and to have been made without con- sCiOusness of their radical nature. Are the enlarged supervision and regulation of securities incident to the proposed amendment of the cor pOration'S charter to be welcomed or depIored? Whether they are or not. they are practical results which must force themselves on the Considera- tion Of the government as soon as it starts a. direct brokerage and invest mont enterprise of it's own on a largo scale.

ground only when it IS impossible

tremendous pressure. Heavy casual
ties are being suffered by the army
