however, is vital point in any plan
that would be effective. While in
vestment houses are willing to rem
der all service possible, and without
charge, during Liberty Loan cam
paigns, it is obvious that they could
not render such service gratis
throughout the year. If they can
develop latent demand for Lib

campaigns, and thereby maintain
prices, they will have performed a
service we'll worth a liberal commits
sion. 1t is not improbable that if
the Canadian plan should be adopted
here, Liberty issues would all be
selling at par within a relatively
short time. Canada's Victory bonds,
issued at 98.66, are now selling at
par, and the demand for them ex-
ceeds the supply.

year per cent bonds. Kuhn, Loeb E.
Co., the roads bankers in the past.
stated that no announcement concern
ing the expected Offering could be
made now.
1t is believed, however, that the
bankers are only waiting for the stand

TO going ahead. The probability is
lie recent Union Pacific and Lehigh
Valley offerings, will be placed on sale
to the public on basis to yield con-
siderably better than 6 per cent i'm
mediately after the next Liberty Loan
campaign.
An increase Of s75,ooo,ooo indebted
ness was authorized by the roads
stockholders at their annual meeting
last March. In this connection Samuel
Rea, president, said that "the board
OF directors will be enabled to issue

1t is to be hoped that the commit
tee Of bankers and investment deal
ers formed for the purpose of devils
ing plan to stabilize Liberty bonds
Will get a favorable hearing in
Washington, for there is no doubt
that the need for action Of this kind
is imperative. The fourth Liberty
Loan campaign is only few weeks
ahead, and the campaign will GER
tainly meet with greater success If
the discounts at which the outstand-
ing issues are now selling are re-
duced. Bankers and other compe-
tent financial authorities have little
confidence in the sinking fund plan,
although that might be utilized ef
fectively few days before any new
scheme were Nlt in operation. The
probabilities are that the committee
will recommend the adoption of the
plan which has worked so success
fully in Canada, though possibly in
modified form. In that case the
bonds would be removed from the
STOCK Exchange list and all transac-
tlons would be conducted through
committees which presumably would
be established in each Of the Fed
erai Reserve districts. The War
Finance Corporation might well
serve in the same capacity as the
victory Loan Special Committee in
canada, since it already has the au-
thority to deal in government bonds
The only serious obstacle to the
plan Is the apparent reluctance Of
the Washington authorities to au.

McAdoo to Move
In Aid of Banks

WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.--To tighten
the burden of banks in financing war
industries, Secretary McAdoo has de-
cided to recommend amendment of the
War Finance Corporation law to per-
nit the Finance Corporation to loan
banks 100 per cent of the amount they
have advanced to war enterprises, and
to submit collateral of 1873 per cent of
the loan. AT present a bank may get
only rs per cent of the loan from the
Finance Corporation on the security
offered for the original loan, and if 100
per cent is desired, 33 per cent col
lateral must be offered in addition to
the original security.
This results in the tieing up of a
large proportion of the banks credit,
and limits its ability to make loans
which later might be covered by the
War Finance Corporation Conse-
quently, many industries have been
forced to appeal direct to the corpora
tion for advances, and it is this prac-
tice which the corporation wishes to
minimize.
The proposed amendment has been
ratified by directors of the Finance
Corporation, and will be introduced
soon in Congress.

Owen Persists in
Foreign Bank Plan
Senator Sends QUESTIONABLE
to Many Exporters and
Importers

senator Owen, bent on reviving in
terestsin his proposal for q Federal
Reserve Foreign Bank, has sent ques-
tionnaires to exporters and importers
throughout the country to ascertain
their views on the subject.
The Federal Reserve Foreign, Bank
proposed" according to the statement
sent broadcast by the Senator, who is
chairman of the Committee on Banking
and Currency, sis intended to begin
with capital only sufficient for new
establishment of this character. leav-
ing open the expansion of the capital
as the needs of the American commerce
require.
1T will be controlled by the Federal
reserve Board and board of directors
representing the United States. Thus.
the bank would have no selfish interest
10 TO serve, but would have exclusively
the interests of the American COM
nerce at heart and would, because of
lts constitution, cooperate with other
banks and bring into the service of
commerce on fair terms the full bank
ing powers of the United States.
~ IS believed that this bill, if en-
acted into law, will serve to stabilize
the American dollar and make the dol
lar standard measure of value in
international contracts, and therefore
very greatly promote American COM
merce, the value of which is ALWAYS
measured primarily in terms of dol
lars"
Friends of Senator Owen here said
yesterday many favorable replies have
peen received. Representative bank
ers, who opposed the suggestion when
hrst offered, repeated yesterday their
opinion that the bill is patchwork ler-
lslatlon and unnecessary, as the Fed
eral Reserve Banks already have au-
tnorlzatlon and equipment to do what
tne senator proposes. Moreover, it i !,
understood that members of the Fed
erai reserve Board have privately said
the bill, if enacted, would iniure mora
than help in the foreign field.
>, Among the interrogations made IN
the QUESTIONABLE to foreign trade
houses appear the following:
would 1T serve your interest as an
importer or exporter to have es-
Saollsned Federal Reserve For
eign Bank through which you could
oa onsa'n credlt information with re-
saro 10 foreign buyers and sell
ers' and conditions of shipments of
eApolts ana imports such as insurance
and storage? A'ANo {
would it serve your interests n
have, through such an institut;on ;n W
tsernatlonal exchange stabilized on a
pasls OF reasonable compensation for
service rendered and the American dol
lar maintained at commercial par?"
