The sweet and beautiful life of our

been, we know our Savior will have

War Finance Corporation.
Washington, March 22.-The War
Finance Bill, which was passed by the
Senate on March 7, passed the House
Thursday by vote of 1853 for the bill
to 2 against the bill. The bill has
been sent to conference, where the
differences in the bill as passed by the
Senate and the House will be reconcil-
ed. The bill includes two main fea-
lures Of legislation. 1t first provides
for federal corporation, to be known
as the War Finance Corporation, with
capital stock of five hundred million
dollars. All of the capital stock u to
be subscribed by the federal govern
ment. There are to be four directors
of the War Finance Corporation, one
Of whom is the Secretary of the
Treasury. The other directors are to
be appointed by the President, by and
with the consent Of the Senate. The
purpose of the corporation is to as
sist, directly and indirectly, during the
period of the war, in financing indus
tries in the United States whose op-
erations shall be necessary or con-
tributory to the prosecution of the
war. The bill further provides for
Capital Issue Committee, to be COM
posed of seven members to be ap-
pointed by the President, by and with
the consent of the Senate. The Cap
ital Issue Committee is given the pow
err and authority to regulate and de-
termine how bonds or securities, in
excess of hundred thousand dollars
of any person, corp, ration, or assoc
iation, may be issued, sold, or offered
for sale. The Capital Issue Commit
tee is given almost unlimited power
to regulate or to restrict the issue of
bonds or securities in amounts ex-
ceeding one hundred thousand dollars.
