War Finance Corporation.
A movement has been started to
get Congress to prolong the life OF
the War Finance Corporation and
with largely increased resources give
it authority to make advances upon
securities and otherwise engage in
extensive foreign trade operations.
Paul NJ. Warburg. former member Of
the Federal Reserve Board. in Decem-
Der suggested that the corporation
might be found useful in work Of this
character. since 1t was really an invest
ment trust with large resources and
organized TO handle extensive relief
work. In making this proposal be-
fore tho United States Chamber OF
Commerce, Mr.. Warburg said:
"By converting the War Finance
Corporation into a Peace Finance Cor
poration and authorizing 1t to acquire
directly or make advances upon for
eign securities, we might create an in
strument that would promote our for
eign trade and at the same time
greatly assist foreign nations in need

litical and economic transition. Such
Peace Finance Corporation, enjoying
the prestige and strength flowing from
the $500. 5000 capital subscribed by
the United States, could exercise eff
fectively It's power within reasonable
limits and for a limited number OF
years to issue its own obligations
against the foreign securities &C
quired,
These obligations should not be ELI
gible as collateral for notes redls-
countable with the Federal Reserve
Banks. They should be placed only
as fast as they can be absorbed by
! investors. Such services, however,
might be OF the very greatest value in
bridging a critical interval. At the
same time II would keep the Govern
ment out OF direct touch with business
transactions with which for a thou
sand obvious reasons It had better re

For the sake OF both our domestic
and our foreign problems. believe a
plan OF this kind is deserving OF our
most careful consideration. even

conditions in that country and the sur

applies with equal force to all of
Europe. In dealing with the foreign
situation. the two great problems must
be food and credits. Both are vital
and must be handled intelligently
with the idea OF formulating a broad
enough programme to solve the big
gest relief problems that the world
has even seen.
II realize that some aspects Of the
European situation are serious and
that many phases are little understood
in this country. But the situation does
not justify an alarmist view and l am
not fearful Of the outcome. We shall
have to make immense advances to
foreign customers in order to save our
markets from the evils attendant upon
overproduction Of foodstuffs, merchan-
disc and raw material. 1t Is proper
that we should do this. and although

An international banker of great
prominence confirmed this view and
declared that relief measures of which
the public had no knowledge whatever
were being devised to provide the nee
essary assistance. He added that in
formal conferences had been held and
that a comprehensive programme was
being worked out to cover all possible
contingencies. The banker quoted has
been in close touch with the members
of the Economic Council at Paris and
admitted that stupendous loans would
have to be made by American inter
ests.

ference of financiers called by ]. p.

Paul NJ. Warburg has an answer.
As a member of the Federal Reserve
Board, to which President Wilson ap-
pointed him for the term 1e14-1s1s. he
had an unexcelled opportunity for
studying American finance during the
period OF perhaps its greatest stress.
and for this study the tremendous i'm
portance of his previous financial con-
nections especially had fitted him. A,
the time of his appointment he was
a member OF the great international
banking firm OF Kuhn, Loeb & Co.. a
director OF the National Bank Of Com
merce, OF the United States Mortgag.
and Trust Company. OF the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad Company, OF the
National Railways Of Mexico, OF Wells
