PRESIDENT ASKS CONGRESS TO EXTEND
POWERS OF WAR FINANCE CORPORATION
TO AID RAILROADS AND AGRICUL TURE
Wants $500, 100000 For With Which To Take Up Railroad
Securities But Is Less Definite As To The Latter-Uroes
Quick Action BY Congress To Aid Transportation.
BY international News Service :,

washington, July 26.-President
Harding this afternoon appealed to
congress to extend the powers OF
the War finance corporation to re-
lieve the after war distresses of
two great and fundamental activit-
les the railroads and agriculture.
The president in message to
congress asked that the war finance
corporation be given power to ex-
tend loans on railroad securities,
which are the result of the funding
OF the railroads to the government
ment.
The president pointed out that I'M
der the transportation act the debts
of he railroads to the government
for az tons and betterment might
be + Led, and declared that he be-
lieved in order that the transporta-
ton systems Of the nation might be
restored to normal as soon as pos.
sible that this funding operation
should be fastened, and that there
should be early settlement of the
claims which the railroads have
against the government.
There Is no thought TO ask con-
grees for additional bonds" the
president said. Perhaps $500, 000,-
900 will be necessary. The r. road
administration has, or will h., q in
the progress of funding, ample Sc
curities to meet all retirements il
congress only will fund the author
lty to negotiate these securities and
provide the agency OF their negotia-
tons" The president asks that the
war finance corporation be given
power to purchase these railway
funding securities.
The presidents recommendations
with regard for relief for agricul-
ture through the war finance cor
poration were less definite. He
pointed out that there are very
promising possibilities of broaden.
ing the purpose Of the war finance
corporation for the further relief of
agriculture and by-stock product
ion"
Broadened powers of the war fin
ance corporation ito meet agricul-
ture needs, will enable it wholly to
meet the nationwide mergency",
the president said. This is an i'm
polling moral obligation to Ameri-
can farming in all its larger as
poets and it will be most gratifying
to have your early sanction"
Railway solvency and efficiency
are essentials to our heathful indus
try, commercial and agriculture
life" the president said in conclus-
ion. Everything hinges on trans
portation."
