WAR FINANCE CORPORATION


The need for the creation of the
War Finance Corporation which is
sought to be established by the bill
recently. introduced i'm Congress is
thus briefly stated by Secretary Ne
Adoo:
"Thc Governments borrowings,
particularly during tn" period immc.
diatcly preceding and following each
Liberty Loan has tended to prccmpt
the credit facilities Of the banks ana
often to prevent them from giving
NJ. =, "rI customary help 20 uuas;
public and private enterprises. Many
instances have been brought to the at
tcntion of the Secretary Of the Treas
ur' and of the Federal Reserve Board
where railroads, public utilities, pow
or plants and other enterprises have
been prevented from obtaining the
necessary loans to enable them to per.
form vital services in connection with
the war because the bank credits orii~
narily available to them are being alb
sorbcd by the Government"
Briefly, the War Finance Corpora
ton is designed to enable the banks,
both national banks and States banks,
and trust companies to continue to
furnish essential credits for industries
and enterprises which are necessary
or contributory to the prosecution of
the war.
