BUSINESS WILL
Be EXPECTED To
SUPPORT NATION
Government Planning to Float
S8,000,000,000 Fourth
of Which 1t Hopes Will be
Paid in War Savings.

WASHINGTON, Nov 21.-Sec'y
McAdOO and members of the capital
issues committee Wednesday agreed
that the committee should continue
indefinitely it's functions of supervis-
ing proposed issues of stocks and
bonds for capital purposes, as a
measure OF rationing capital in prep
aration for future war loans. At
the same time it became known that
the treasury plans tentatively to
float about eight billion dollars more
securities during 1919, and hopes TO
get at least two billions Of this sum
from war savings.
Despite the decision 10 continue
the activity of the capital issues
committee in an effort TO suppress
fraudulent securities which pro-
moters would seek to exchange for
Liberty bonds held by small pur-
chases, considerable doubt over the
future status Of the committee still
exists in the mind of Sec'y McAdoo
and other treasury officials it was
said.
Advocate Compulsory Power.
Some advocate that congress be
asked to give the committee COM
pulsory power which il now lacks,
and without which il is feared it
cannot make its restrictions effect
i've, after the ardor of war time CO.
operation among business interests
had cooled. Others suggest that the
functions Of the committee be taken
over by a treasury agency. to which
the president might delegate his
power. conferred by the fourth Lib
erty bond act TO regulate the sale Of
Liberty bonds. In this manner. it
might be possible to report regu-
larly the amounts Of bonds thus
taken in and these reports, il is felt.
might act as restraining influence.
Members o. the capital issues com
mittee although expressing them
selves as individually anxious 10 re-
linquish their duties. agreed to take
up questions of relaxing their past
strict regulations to permit the float
ing Of bonds for public improvements
by states. counties and municipal
ties and TO facilitate the construc-
ton OF buildings in regions where
materials and labor are availa BILE
without detracting from more essen
tial government projects
In other words the committee now
intends 10 work out a systematic
program for permitting the financ-
ing Of enterprises which will take
up the slack in industrial and labor
fields caused by cessation OF war
activities.
This policy. when formulated viii
be set forth in a statement by the
committee. This may be issued with
in a few days.
Relies on Cooperation.
