WASHINGTON. January 2i.-Hun-
dreds Of war savings committees which
have been organized in cities. counties
and States. may be used as agencies
In the proposed nation wide movement
TO restrict unnecessary building and
other enterprises not essential to, the
war. and to save capital investments
for government war bonds.
This became known to-day in con-
ncction with the plans which the Fed
cral Reserve Board is making for reSu-
lation OF Issues OF private securities.
A committee OF the board which is
working out definite methods has un-
der consideration a suggestion that
committees OF business men and bank
CTS in each community AID State be in
trusted with tho task os cutting off
at the source proposed expenditures
whica can lie eliminated during the
war. Since tho war savings commit
teas NIL cady arc organized. and consult
Ut representative men they are con-
sidored the most available for the
work.
Advocates CT tho scheme point out
that without some such plan, the
Treasury will be besicsed by thousands
of applications for approval of securi-
ties, issues. the merits OF which II will
be difficult to judge at a distance.
Local committees would know at first
hand whether extensions OF manufac-
turing plants or other business enter
prisca were important to the war or
could be easily postponed.
The verdict OF city or county com
mittccs might be appealed to a State
agency. and to tho Federal Reserve
Beard as last resort. under the sug-
gested plan. Tho entire procedure
would be based on moral persuasion
and not on legal force
