MobiIizing American Capital

Mo departure from the normal ways OF
1 carrying American business dur
ins the period Of the war is more far-reach-
ing than the proposal. fathered by officials of
the Treasury Department. to give the gov
eminent full control over all future issues
OF securities by any and all enterprises. The
plain fact about this is that the government
is seeking to remove all possible competitors
from the security market thereby making
its own, bonds the more desirable.
This is Il radical suggestion. 1t involves
very rigid control by the government over
every corporate business in America which
may seek new capital. 1t would require such
an enterprise to secure license authorizing
the issuance Of new stock or bonds. And
ii might prescribe at the same time the rate
OF interest which should be fixed. No project
requiring broad financing could be under
taken without the consent Of the govern
ment. 1t is even intima ted by the Federal
authorities that States. counties and NUM-
cipalitics should restrict their issues OF obliga-
lions during the war. 1t is hardly conceiv-
able that such governmental agencies would
he brought within the license system, how
ever.
This proposal is that should be very
carefully and earnestly considered before it
is approved either by the President or by
Congress. The country has cheorfully
acQuiesccd in the control of the railroads by
the government and will agree that railroad
investors should be protected. but il is by no
means certain that the country is yet willing
10 surrender its whole industrial system into
the hands Of the Federal power Certainly il
is willing TO do this until il is absolutely
demonstrated that the exisencies OF war
demand it,
On the other hand. the country must re-
allie that the Federal government while the
war lasts, should have access TO the available
capital of the nation in order to float its
loans and thereby finance its war program
II should not he necessary for this govern
mcnt to beat the bushes i'm every city. town
and hamlet in America in order to sell two
or three billion dollars worth of gilt-edged
bonds Yet experience has shown in both
tho first and second Liberty loan campaigns
that shouting and parading OF the most
spectacular sort must be engaged in ii the
American people are aroused to their duty
III this direction.
Financing the war is OF the great
problems of the government, but it is not the
greatest The money is here. Much OF it is
liquid. therefore easily available. 1t is not
being sent out OF the country. 1t is being
expended al home This is true no less of
the funds advanced to our allies than OF the
funds expended by our own government
There are only six seven billions OF dollars
OF actual currency in the United States how
ever and when the government undertakes
TO raise and dsburse sixteen to eighteen bill
mons or dollars in a single year it merely
spends the same dollar two or three times
during that period. But the dollar in cues
ton must be on hand. and. if the private
security market must be contracted in order
some action to that end seems TO be
necessity.
