AID FOR RAILROADS
PLANS NEW MARKET
FOR THEIR BONDS
House Bill Would Authorize
War Finance Corporation
to Buy Securities.

Washington, July 2S.-President
Harding's suggestions for putting the
railroads of the country on their feet
were incorporated in a bill introduced
in the house Thursday by Chairman
Winslow. of the interstate commerce
committee.
Carrying no actual appropriation, the
bill would vest broad powers with the
war finance corporation to provide
funds for settlement of the carriers
claims against the government. 1t
would authorize the corporation to pur-
chase railroad securities, now held BY
the railroad administration up to an
amount not exceeding half billion dol
lars and their sale on the open mar
ket when financial conditions justify
and it would authorize the corporation
to sell, as agent of the president,
any securities not purchased by the
corporation, all proceeds to become a
fund for relief of the roads.
Explaining the measures, Mr.. Win
slow said it's peneral purpose was to
put funds as quickly as possible into
the hands of the roads SO they might
be able to go into the market and pur-
chase supplies necessary for the up
keep and extension of their properties.

Help Pay War Debt.
The obstacle to Ireland's contribu-

land assuming a portion of the na-

contribution to the imperial excheq-
uer. which Sim Feiners regard IN the
nature of tribute. This solution is
less Objectionable, and would
satisfy Premier Lloyd Georges con-
tention that Ireland ought to pay
toward cost of the war.
