Washington, July 25.-Broaden-
ing of the powers Of the war fl
nance corporation. making it the
great governmental agency for
bringing about the necessary eco
nomic establishments, will be sug-
gested by President Harding to-
morrow in a special communica-
ton to congress, according to fore
casts tonight.
The special letter, it has been
announced. will deal primarily with
the proposed financial settlement
between the government and rail-
roads. But according to statements
by administration leaders. it prob
ably will go further and recon-
mend not only that the war finance
corporation take charge of the

sole charge OF farm credits and ex-
port financing.
Approved by Mellon.
Secretary Hoover said today that
he had recommended such plan
and that his recommendation had
been approved by Secretary Mellon
and Eugene Meyer, Jr., managing
director of the war finance corpo-
ration.

vinced him that the broadening of

able by the corporation without q
great drain on the treasury. The
corporation is empowered TO issue
bonds up to six times its capitali-

However, according to finance
corporation officials, that organiza-
ton has an account with the treas
ury of more than $500, 100000, 30
that bond issue would not be nec~
essary until that sum was exhaust
ed. Payments to the roads. how
ever, are expected to clean out
quickly the account with the treas
ury.
In connection with the necessary
government financing to meet the
first call for funds for the rail-
roads, it was indicated at the
treasury that an issue Of treasury
certificates would probably be
made August 1. 1t was not thought,
however, that the next issue of the
treasury's new short-term notes
would be floated until September.

also of a stamp tax on bank
checks, but that suggestion was
understood to have been frowned
on by the treasury. other stamp
tax proposals may get some con-
sideration in the committee but
members said they feared the re-
action from them.
Mr.. Mellon, it was said, had told
the committee that he was opposed
to the use of sales tax to sup
plant the excess profits levy, which,
it is conceded, will be abandoned.
He was represented as being fa-
vorable to a flat tax on corpora

Bulletin Declares.
tBy The Associated Press.)

London, July 25 (by the Assocl-
ated Press. )-Nothing less than
national independence will content
the Sim Fein leaders. The Irish
Bulletin, official organ of the Dali
Eireann, makes this declaration
from the headquarters in Dublin.
While nothing is actually known
of the nature of the governments
proposals beyond the general out
line of dominion rule and fiscal
autonomy, the Bulletin contains an
outburst against the assumptions
of the British press concerning the
negotiations, whi appears to
show that the pre- $ are unsat-

This lrst, which incidentally
repudiates any wish to coerce Ul-
ster. is taken in certain quarters
to be more of an expression of i'm
patience with the patronizing air
of some London newspapers that
an indication of a breach
in the negotiations. 1t at
least confirms the impression
generally held here that path to
peace is likely to prove long and
difficult.
To Reorganizc Police.
According to the Associated
Press dispatches from Ireland, the
government proposals include. a
plan to reorganize the Irish police
on a civil basis, eliminating the
military element and disbanding
the auXiliaries. This would be an
important concession to Irish feel
ings.
Eamonn de Valera, republican
lea der, took up with the members
of his cabinet today details of the
British proposals, preparatory, 1t
is understood, to submitting them
to the Dali Eireann.
The British cabinet council TO-
night decided to end the session
of parliament August 30, "unless
an Irish settlement makes an au-
tumn session necessary"
Hopeful of Peace.
This provisional decision is taken
to mean that the government is
still hopeful of peace in Ireland.
The day was without progress to-
wards a solution and the public
was left to founder in the realms
of conjecture, for the( premier
could only promise the house of
commons a future statement on
the situation and to warn the
house against reliance on upoffi-
cial reports. He declared that all
the published statements regarding
the terms of settlement were in
accurate.
Complaints received from off
GERS of the Irish republican army
regarding violation of the truce
conditions by British soldiers have
not been fully considered. They
are said to be rather technical.

LOCAL LEADERSHIP
Published by Request of the State
Board of Health

Published by Request of the State
Board of Health
When your city starts to fight vene-
real diseases, it must be under one
banner. 1t is of the utmost impor.
lance to have centralized leadership in
each community. If there are several
organizations all doing the same thing
and number of committees overlap
ping in their tasks your local venereal
disease campaign is weakened. The
emergency demands that all public
spirited citizens line up in solid front
against prostitution and work together
for the establishment of proper medi-
cal care and the promotion of educa-
tional work. Duplication of effort in
the fight against venereal diseases is
too expensive luxury for any COM
munity to afford.
The national leaders in the local
fight against venereal diseases are the
city health officials. No private or
Inon-official organization can carry on
this campaign so effectively as public
health officials supported by a united
public opinion, and public funds. In
many communities. however, the local
health officer or board, because of in
sufficient appropriation, is not in a
tpcsition to take the immediate leader
ship in the anti-venereal work.
The State board of health is asking
this organization to fight against We
nereal diseases. 1t should be the con-
slant object of this committee to
strengthen the worl of the local pub
lie health official. the police and other
law enforcing agencies.
Everywhere the local board of
health is in a position to take active
leadership it is desirable to have a
permanent citizens organization to
aid in the work. Permanent represen-
tative social hygiene committees with
financial backing have been set up in
many places and have proved useful
and valuable as an aid to the regular
official agencies. There are many
ways in which health officers will want
the support of such organizations in
their work. In your community such
q permanent, non-partisan committee
representative of varic''s professions
religious denominations, and of both
sexes, should be DEVELOPMENT of the
| ext few months.

have stood it few days more, and
