Report of Committee on War Finance Read at Conyen- -e tion of American Eco
 homie Association
By the Associated Press

@s Richmond, Va, December 27-The report of the committee war finance prepared at an expense of $25.0o0
 was read at the convention oi
 the American Economic association and allied bodies today. This report, pre-
 pared by F. R. A. Seligman of Columbia
 University chairman of the commit
 tee. comprised 127 pages. in which < various phases of the financial situa- 5 ..tion. together with statistics, are dis cussed. It concludes with the recom- mendation:
 While the currency and credit ex- pansion has been to some extent una voidab1e, it has probably been greater than necessary. To prevent further aggravation during the post-bellum pe- .riod, the following suggestions deserve consideration: The federal reserve au- thorities should follow less liberal policy in the matter of discount and collateral loans for member banks. A greater effort should be made to dis courage the borrow and buy policy in sqthe matter of Liberty Bonds insofar 2 as borrowing to buy does not involve immediate economies of consumption. Recourse to anticipatory narrowing by the issue of treasury certificates, < and with the re-estab1ishment of a free international market for gold, the : control of International exchange should be abandoned Finally, the plan of stimulating gold production by means of some form of government is to be depreciated.
 Price levels proved one of the in teresting topics of the days session, being considered at joint meeting of the American Economic association and the American Statistical associa- tion. w. w.

AS GO ON MY WAY

My life shall touch a dozen lives be-
fore this day is done
Leave countless marks for good or ill
ere sets this evenings sun.
Shall fair or foul its imprint prove, on
those my life shall hail?
Shall be risen my impress be, or shall
a blight prevail?
When to the last great reckoning the
lives | meet must go,
Shall this wee, fleeting touch of mine
have added joy or woe?
Shall He who looks their records Ger
of name and time and place
Say Here a blessed influence came"
or Here is evils tracer"
From out each point of contact of my
life with other lives
Flows ever that which helps the
one who for the summit
tnrlVeS.
The troubled souls encountered-does
it sweeten with it's touch?
Or does it more embitter those en-
Uttered overmuch?
Does love through every handclasp
flow in my sympathys caress ?
Do these that l have greeted know a
newborn hopefulness
Are tolerance and charity the key
note of my song
AS | go plodding onward with
earth's eager, anxious throng?
My life must touch a million lives in
some way ere l go
From this dear world of struggle to
the land l do not know,
So this the wish l always wish, the
prayer | ever pray;
Let my life help the other lives it
touches by the way!
