ROOSEvELT'SPEN
EXTENDS R. F. c.
Dying Federal Agency Gets
Hypodermic of Added
Lending Powers.

BY the Associated Press.
Rescued from extinction at the
eleventh hour, the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation began its fourth
year today as a major part Of the ad-
ministration's recovery efforts.
But for the fact that President
Roosevelt signed last night law ex-
tending its lending life for two years,
the r. F. C. would have become mere
agency for liquidating its assets. With
it gone, all Government lending to
banks, railroads and business would
have stopped.
The new law gave the r. F. c.
even more power than before. Al
ready the worlds greatest lending
bank. with a record of disbursements
totaling more than $1,000, 900, the
agency now can be more liberal in
loans to industry and can seek to
bolster the real estate mortgage mar
ket through buying stock in solvent
mortgage associations.
Mines Can Get Loans.
Another new provision authorizes
loans up to an aggregate of SlO,OOO,-
900 to companies engaged in mining
gold, silver and tin.
Originally started under the Hoo
yer administration as a means Of
transfusing credit blood into the veins
of banks, the powers of the corpora
ton have been gradually enlarged
and it's charges for loans reduced
steadily.
Although the greatest bank in the
world, the corporation handles little.
If any, money. Its funds are in the
custody of the United States Treas
TRY and the Federal Reserve Banks.
Its notes are paid through the Re
serve Banks and its collections made
by branch offices and the banks. 1t
borrows money for its operations
through the Treasury and has pro-
cued something over S3,000,000,000
in that way.

HAVANA, Japan, August 2-The

fleets steamed out of Toxic Bay today,
heading for their annual maneuvers
in the Northwest Pacific
Emperor Hirohito, attired in white
naval uniform, watched through
binoculars from the imperial Sum-
mer villa here as the go vessels went
by in majestic battle formation. He
was accompanied by the Empress and
their three daughters.
Trumpets played the national
anthem, and officers and sailors. lin
ing the decks, saluted the Emperor.
He responded by dispatching an i'm
perial messenger to Admiral Sankichi
Takahashi, aboard the Flagship
Yamashiro. with greetings and wishes
for successful maneuvers. The review
was informal, no salute was fired.
Meanwhile, Ambassador TSuneo
Matsudaira returned to Toxic from
London with the statement that Great
Britain's attitude toward Japan has
changed considerably for the better
concerning naval questions. The AM
bassador has seen nearly seven years
of continuous service at the Court of
st. james.
Matsudaira said that Great Britains
stiff attitude toward Japan after the
Manchukuan incident had softened
considerably due to gradual recogni-
ton of Japan's position, and that the
same applied to the British attitude
toward the Japanese naval position.
