THE WAR FINANCE CORPORA
TON

The bill recently introduced in
Congress for the creation Of the
War Finance Corporation" with
a capital stock Of five hundred
million dollars, all of which is to
be subscribed by the United
States, should be regarded, says
Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo
primarily as a war measure to
enable the banks, both national
and State banks and trust com
panies, to continue to furnish es-
sential credits for industries and
enterprises necessary or cOntri-
butOry to the prosecution Of the
war.
The Government has made and
is making through the Liberty
Loans such large demands upon
the lendable capital of the country
that the banks often have been
prevented from giving needed
help to private enterprises, some
of which are performing vital
service in connection with the
war.
The War Finance Corporation
is designed as a, war measure to
give relief from this condition
during the period of the war and
Secretary McAdOO asserts that the
mere existence of the corporation
would of itself do so much to
maintain confidence that its ac-
tual aid would be necessary only
in relatively few cases.
This is no hastily conceived
legislation. Secretary McAdOo has
taken the most expert advice
available and the methods adopted
in the other countries at war have
been thoroughly studied. The
proposed law embOdies the basic
principles of similar laws which
have been tried in Europe. It's
purpose is to attain the most eff
ficient use of our cOuntry's ire
mendous financial resources for
the Government and for private
enterprises, which are all neces-
sary to the welfare of the country
and our success in this war.

license LANDLORDS?

City Attorney Kennedy believes the city would
have authority to license landlords but is doubtful
if the city has the constitutional right TO establish
a commission. such as The Star suggests, to whom
landlords must apply for permission to raise rents.
Under the Kennedy plan, if landlord became
too intoerant in rent boosts, the city could with
draw his license.
The Stars plan, the other hand would not
give the landlord a chance to become intoerant.
II is thing to put thief behind prison bars after
he has squandered his punder 1t is another thing
to prevent him from stealing at ALL The latter
method is the better.
If rent profiteerng is to be done away with. let
us knock it the head completely. Let there be
no halfway measure. There cannot be any world
peace as long as the Hun has any power to abuse.
This is as true of the Landlord of the Kaiser
Hun
Resolve all doubts in favor of the city, These
are days. IL needs heroic measures to protect
the people against abuses An emergency situation
exists. The city has right to protect itself and
its people against any possible state of dire unrest
and suffering. Is it constitutional to correct abuses
Let the courts decide that if necessary. The
city attorney and the city council must not assume
that function.
