vance Funds to Meet April
Requirements.

Arrangements for making advances
quirements have been completed by
the War Finance corporation, the
railroad administration and the
railroad executive committee. it was
announced today by the finance
corporation.
Railroads are now fling applica-
tions with the corporation for loans
IN lieu of those which would have
been obtained from the railroad ad =
ministration except for the failure of
the revolving appropriation. The form
of certificate of Indebtedness TO be
given by the Railroad administration
and in turn offered the War Finance
Corporation as collateral has now
been finally approved.

of that corporation upon it's merits

respects
The corporation also explained that
the policy of making loans to rail-
roads was not ESSENTIALLY different
from that pursued before the financial |
predicament created through the fail
ure of Congress to replenish the rail-
road administrations fund.

sued in loaning funds for the opera

rs entirely in line with the original
intention Of Congress, as expressed by
ihe statute, aud also in line with the
settled procedure of the finance cor
poration throughout the course of it's
brief history. The number Of applica-
ions from railroads for advances have
been greatly augmented by the fail
ure OF Congress to provide the appro-
prlatIonS asked by the director gem
eral Just before the adjournment of
Congress-
Some members of Congress have
charged that the corporation was
seeking to circumvent Congress by
providing funds which Congress itself
had failed to authorize.
