WAR FINANCE
BILL APPROVED
SENATE COMMITTEE VOTES
UNANIMOUSLY ON FAV-
ORABLE REPORT.

Washington, D. c., Feb. 21.-By
unanimous action the administrator
bill to create a war finance corporation
with a capital of $4,000. 100000 to ex-
tend government aid to war industries
was reported favorably today by the
senate finance committee.
One of the most important amend
ments adopted by the committee would
take from the directors Of the corpor-
alton the power to license private
securities issues and place 1t IN the
hands OF capital issue committee COM
puted by the federal reserve board 70
include three members Of that board
and not more than seven members In
all.
Another important amendment
would limit the directors power to
make direct loans, not through bank
ing agencies. Such loans might be
made only to railroads, public utilities
or going organizations necessary or
contributory to the prosecution OF the
war and which we're in the judgment
of the directors of importance vital to
the public interest.
The bill was amended to make the
directors of the corporation appoint
able by the president with conftrma-
ton by the senate instead of by Sec
rotary McAdoo.
Mr.. McAdoo, however, has agreed to
all the amendments and it is believed
they will command the support Of the
republicans.
The actual capital stock of the cor
poration is fixed at $500,000,0o0 but
authorization is given to issue notes
or obligations to the amount of $4,-
900, 100000 maturing in not less than
one year nor more than five years.
In virtually no other respects was
the bill materially changed. Chairman
Simmons plans to ask the senate to
take it up Monday.
Secretary McAdoo will head the
corporation directorate. The amend
ment for creation Of the capital is
sues committee" also provides that
it's members shall be approved by Sec
rotary McAdoo. to insure harmony
with the treasury departments policy
after being selected by the federal
reserve board.
No change was made In the limita-
ton of financial licensing to issues OF
100000 and more.
The clause authorizing the cor
poration to purchase government
bonds and other federal securities
also was retained.

RESISTANCE NOT POSSIBLE

RESISTANCE NOT POSSIBLE
Military men explained the impos-
sibility of offering effective resistance
but no decision was reached until
messages had been received showing
that the Germans had captured
Dvinsk with ease and were advancing
all along the front. This news
reached the council early Tuesday
morning and influenced the delegates
to decide for peace.
Before the capture of Dvinsk Pre-
mier Lenine said he was opposed to
peace but finally urged that peace
must be obtained at any price in order
to insure the reconstruction Of Russia.
He said the Germans were advancing
on a solid front from the north to the
south.
The announcement of Russia's de-
cision to accept the German terms
was sent by wireless at 5 o'clock
Tuesday morning. At first the German
wireless station showed disposition
to refuse to take the message but fin
ally four hours later acknowledged it.
SLAV OPINION DIVIDES
Bolsheviki leaders held repeated
conferences throughout Tuesday and
later in the afternoon received the
German reply, refusing to accept the
wireless message as Official and re.
questing that delegation be sent to
Dvinsk to confer with regard to peace.
The Russian press is divided as to
the wisdom Of the councils action.
The Pravda says the soldiers and
workmen's delegates have again
shown Willingness to make peace and
carry out their pledges, and that
whether Germany accepts or not, the
bolsheviki have won a moral victory.
The Nova jim says the bolshevikl
have brought the affair to an ignomt.
nous end Ind have proved themselves
to be adventures who are willing to
keep themselves in power at any
price,
