. T. REASONS FOR LOAN
CALLED ABSURD.

"The absurdity OF the reasons con-
tanned in the first paragraph must be
apparent to any one acquainted With
the conditions in Brooklyn and its
transportation facilities during the
year 1918. The b. II. Il. Is not a
transportation company, but is mere
~ a business corporation which acts
as holding company for the securi-
lies Of the various transit corpora
lions in the Borough of Brooklyn,
which have been combined under one
head. The B. II. T. does not operate
any railways and a casual study of
the situation would seem to indicate
mat it was a mere pretext to bring it
WITHIN the provincd OF the purposes
Tor which the War Finance Corpora
ton was created.
The reason advanced in the sec
Cnd paragraph would seem to smack
or financial patriotism. While many
o. the boys in the Nations hours Of
stress and trouble, in their under
slahdlhG OF patriotism, went across
anu rlsked their lives on the battle
nelds Of France, there remained at
home brand Of patriotism which
used the excuse Of the war as
means OF extracting from the United
states Treasury many millions of dol
lars that came out of the pockets of
the taxpayers.
The mass OF the people were not
only called upon to furnish their "a
theirs and sons, but also to shoulder
the burden OF taxation and DENY
themselves Of the very necessities OF
life.
1T seems strange, under the cir
cumstances, that the War Finance
Corporation, with so little investiga-
ton as the facts would seem 10 in
dicate, gave so literally of the Gov
ernments funds, gathered at such
great sacrifice
And 1t Is the purpose Of my reso-
luton OF inquiry to ascertain. II nos

why tho great haste in affecting the
loan was necessary, The haste is
apparent in the correspondence which
have obtained from the Treasury
Department, which is now in my nos
session.
"Up to the time Of my discovery Of
this $1700O.OOO loan, It was not gen
orally known that the Government
was interested in any Of the affairs OF
the b. r. T. The loan wa put over
while the war was or. ana when the
