Corporatc Control by thc Governmcnt

\V/IiEN the Secretary OF the Treasury laid
w before Congress the draft OF bill
authorizing the creation OF Federal cor
poratio through which all financing OF pri-
yatc enterprises should be controlled, the
fur,hcst step yet taken toward centraliza-
ton OF power in the hands Of the Federal
government was proposed. The country will
properly withhold its approval of such Il
measure until the administration has sub
mttcd absolutely conclusive proof that such
extension Of power is necessary.
Even now i, is admitted that the bill which
MIR. McAdoo has drawn proceeds further i'll
the direction of controlling and absorbing
private capital by the government than Great
Britain has found ii necessary to 60 1t
proceeds further than France has gone
Germany alone. of all the hcllgercnt ma
lions, has undertaken drastic a program
for reserving to the government full COM
mand of capital. and it is very debatable
question whether not the United States
is yet prepared TO Prussanze its whole finan-
cial structure.
Two important considerations seem to have
prompted the proposal Of this legislation
The first is the necessity Of making available
all liquid capital for investment in govern
ment securities. The second is the import
ance of maintaining the governments war
bonds, already issued at par. There may be
other reasons for the legislation but these
are being urged paramount.
In the first instance. it has not been demon
stratcd that tho country is either unwilling
or unprepared TO absorb all the government
securities that will be offered. The two
Liberty loans so far loated were oversub-
scrbcd. The chances that the third will
DO oversubscribed as we'll. If it lags or if
the fourth fails to meet all expectations il
Will then be time enough to consider means
OF making them more attractive to the in
vestor. 1t is hardly fair to assume at this
stage that tho American people are not ready
to buy every war bond that the government
ma! md 1t necessary 10 sell. Certainly il
Is 100 soon TO mort gage all the credit in The
country for the benefit Of future bond issues
There are other means of maintaining the
par value OF Liberty bonds than by drastic
legislation. If their depreciation becomes
matter OF serious concern, it is always nos
sibie to increase the interest rate The fact
that the tours are now below par on the
security market and that the three-and-a-
haNes are being sold at par. shows clearly
lhat the tours are depressed in value because
or the fact that they subject to income
ana excess profits taxation. They can he re-
iieNcd oil this taxation at any time their value
III resale drops TO the point of cndangcrinr

These facts should be fully weighed hn

Chemical Indu.try in Germany.

j. {. H., Richmond.-Th chemical
industry was perhaps the most vigor-

and the country had obtained almost
Il world monopoly in some Of the most
important branches Of the chemical

This is due to the nouriShing medical
