M'ADOO WANTS
. WAR FINANCE
CORPORATION
Will Ask Congress to Create
Federal Company to Aid
War Industries.

Secretary Of the Treasury McAdoo
last night announced that he would
ask Congress to authorize War
Finance Corporati9" to provide
credits for enterprises necessary to
the prosecution of the war. The pro-
posed measure carries also a pro-
vision to control by license all securi-
ties issues of more than 100000 for
capital purposes.
A copy Of the proposed act proposes
capital stock for the corporation Of
$500. 900. 900, "all of which shall be sub
scribed by the United States of Amer
ica." The whole sum, or such part
as may be necessary to make pay
ment on subscriptions, is to be ap-
propriated out of the Treasury. Sub
scriptions may be offered to the pub
lie as stock in the corporation.
The corporation is to be managed
by the Secretary of the Treasury and
four other directors TO be. appointed
by him with the approval of the
President. Their salaries are not to
exceed that of the head OF any execu-
tive department.. and they must sever
relations with private enterprises.
Could Advance Money.
The act would permit the corpora
ton to advance money to banks or
trust companies that have outstand-
ing any loans made to enterprises
necessary or contributory to war pur-
poses. These loans are to be Sc
cured by the notes of the banks, in
addition TO the securities held by the
banks for their disbursement to the
borrower.
Further. the corporation retains
power to require additional collateral
security at any time.
Advances directly TO any person,
firm or association engaged in war
work may be made in exceptional
cases
The bill provides. also. that the

The corporation is to be authorized
to issue its own notes or obligations
aggregating not more than eight times

curities for bank practice. except that
when Federal Reserve notes are is
sued against II the Federal Reserve
Board may make a special interest
charge. They will be exempt from
all taxes except inheritance, income
and war taxes.
Perhaps the most radical feature
of the proposed legislation is the
control OF capital expenditures through
security issues.
Penalty for Violation.
For the restriction of unnecessary
capital expenditures" reads the bill, -
the corporation may refuse to license
the sale of any issue or part of issue,
the par or face value of which shall
be in excess of $4,000"
This applies only to borrowing for
capital purposes. 1t does not apply to
any securities issued by any railroad
controlled by the United States.
The corporation is to continue until
six months after the Presidents
proclamation of the end OF the war,
and ail moneys remaining after
liquidation will revert to the govern
ment.
Tax exemption Is to be granted to
the corporation except on real estate
locally.
Violation of any provision of the
act would carry a penalty of 5000
four years imprisonment. or both.

QUEUES GROW
Great Britain S Only Hope Is
America as Pinch Tight
ems on Masses.
by ARTHUR s. DRAPER
Special Cable to The Washington
Herald and New York Tribune.

hcrutu ana Ncw lOrk IT1bunc.
London. Jan. 2S.-Britain's suffering
on account OF the food shortage is
acute. In less than ten weeks there
has been a profound change in the
country's economic position.
Whether II has been brought about
by an unfortunate run of luck in i'm
porting supplies through the subma-
rine zone, or from lack of foresight in
the high places, or from general de-
pletion OF the worlds storehouses be-
cause of the war, makes little differ
ence.
1t is unfortunate that the people are
not prepared for the present condi-
tion-in fact, the frequent optimistic
reports OF decreased submarine sink
ings have led them to draw entirely
wrong conclusions. The result is that
there has been a lot OF bitter COM
planning over the hardships Of stand
ing for hours in long queues. often to
get only a fraction of the food re-
quired.
Compulsory Rationing Needed.
The failure Of the government to in
troduce compulsory rationing in es-
sentials last summer is responsible
for much of the present confusion and
dissatisfaction.
There is no mistaking the fact that
labor intends to play a big part in po-
litical affairs. and it is gaining
strength through the weakness of the
government in handling the food prob
lens.
The situation cannot be characterized
as anything milder than grayely Sc
rious. Lord Rhondda's Injunction to
the people to pull in their belts and
laugh at the enemy is being followed,
but though the people are laughing at
the enemy they are turning sour faces
toward those they consider respon-
sible for supplying and distributing
food.
Looking to America. .,
1t is toward America that the
people are looking for meat. butter,
bacon, cheese and wheat. To date
the ministry OF food has issued
tickets for only one staple. sugar,
which is being distributed satisfac-
torily. 1t has fixed minimum prices
for bread. cereals, milk, rabbits.
meat, fish, jams and tea. What
ever the government has fixed
prices and controlled the supply.
the public has benefited materi-
ally. but when the supply remains
uncontrolled after a maximum price
has been fixed, frequently the food
has disappeared from the market.
For instance, when maximum
price on rabbits was fixed below
the market rate, they suddenly
scuried away. So did the cheaper
grades of fish. Jams and mar
malade have practically disappear
ed. Uncontrolled foods have jumped
to prohibitive prices. Chickens,
ducks. turkeys and pheasants are
nearly double the figure.
Government Shows Energy.
Freight rates have jumped several
hundred per cent since the beginning
of the war. For instance, it cost a
shilling to bring a crate of oranges
from Spain before the war; today the
rate is over e.. A can of American
meat selling in New York before the
war for S1.25 costs $2.25 here today.

President Wilson did not receive any
advance copy of the peace speech OF
Count CZernin, the Austrian premier.
Col. Edward NJ House, the Presidents
special emissary, will not return to
Europe for the present.
These statements were authorita-
| lively made at the White House yes
terday, accompanied by the plain in
timation that had the Austrian pre-
mier offered the President a "fraternaI
kiss" as charged by the Cologne Ga
zette. his offer would have met with
startling rebuff"

There can be no peace by COM
promise. according to a sketch OF the
Presidents attitude coming from one
of his Cabinet officers
He is reported to believe that little
short Of a revolution in Germany can
satisfy his first condition for peace
discussions-a German government re-
sponsible to the Reichstag majority.
With America ready to strike, the ad-
ministration, 1t is indicated, feels that
revolution in Germany is already in
I the making
These disclosures were made coin
tary Baker as to the forwardness of
the war preparations and coincident
with a statement by Secretary Of the
Navy Daniels that the navy is pre-
pared to transport in adequate safety
to Europe all the troops the War De-
partment may decide to send.
They were made available following
! a lengthy conference at the White
! House between the President and Col.
House. Following the conference Col
House himself declared in answer to
a question that he will not return for
the present to Europe.
Pleased with Baker.
An official of the State Department
said yesterday that the political ele-
ment in the internal troubles of the
central powers is most significant.
Rumors of food shortage and trouble
over food have been current for two
years and have never amounted to
anything. The State Department
doesn't believe that food conditions
in the central powers are yet serious.
1t cannot neglect, however, the evil
dences Of grave political dissatisfac-
ton.
The State Department also denies
that any account OF the Czernin
speech, save that carried by the
press cables, had reached this coun-
try in any official form.
There was every evidence at the
White House Of the extreme gratifi-
cation Of the President with Secretary
Bakers showing before the Senate
committee.
Secretary Baker himself walked
briskly from the Capitol to the War
Department following his testimony.
That is Splendid said a French
officer when told of Mr.. Bakers
statement that there would be 500, ,OO0
men in France early in the year with
100000 ready to follow.
Mr.. Bakers disclosure of the plans
for getting Americas heavy artillery
in France and England were also
confirmed in allied sources.

MINING NEWS
The Oatman District


OATNAN. AriZ, Feb. 2.-As re-
suit of the greatly accelerated pro-
sress maintained by the drift on the
seventh level of the Gold Ore, the
orc body will probably be reached
much sooner than planned. An aver
age of fifteen feet per day or 1--WE
feet per shaft has been made Tor
several DAYS, and already seams of
mineralized vein matter accompanied
by water have already been encount-
cred
The last stretch of road building
has now been commenced by con-
tractor, Mahana, and final electrical
tests have been given to the new ma
chinery at the mill and contract
has been made for hauling ore from
mine to mill. 1t is possible that ore
from the dump may be the first to
be run through the mill, as several
hundred tons of it have been samp-
led and show good milling values.
Developments at the United Oat-
man have excited considerable in
terest\ here. Superintendent. Roberts
believes that the juncture of the two
branches of the Ophir vein have been
reached by the tunnel about $50 feet
from the entrance. The entire face of
the tunnel is in solid and uniform
quartz, spar and calcite all in place,
and carrying much higher values than
ever found before.
President f. P. Torpey and Sup
erintendant Hogers of the Gold Road
Bonanza are preparing TO commence
development work on the Gold Range
where a complete plant has been
installed and a shaft sunk 250 feet
deep. This work will be prosecuted
in conjunction with that at the Be-
panza where the draft will continue
westward. In the opinion of Joseph
Onetto, the next 100 feet will be the
most crucial development work ever
done on the property.
President A. II. Andres of the Oat-
man United Gold Mining company
is in camp and he announces that
the second stage of development on
this property will now be commenced.
This contemplates reaching lower
level as rapidly as possible In order
to accomplish this, the shaft will be
sunk 200 feet deeper and a Wine will
be put down along the west drift
where the most promising vein mat
ter was encountered. This Wine
may be sunk to q depth of 200 feet
if developments justify such course.
In order to explore the Gray Eagle
ere body at the most advantageous
point, a raise is being projected to the
surface from the 400 foot level. This
has now reached the elevation of
rs feet above the 400 foot level and
is in ore all the way, assaying in the
neighborhood of $15 per ton. y
Wine will also be sunk to cOnnect
with the drift to be advanced from
the cross cut now being run from the
