Both the commission and the
Federal Reserve Board carried
out within "a hours the recon-
mendations contained in Presi-
dent RooSevelt'S new recovery
message, and climaxed the Treas
ury'S action in desterilizing its
81 400, 100000 gold hoard Thurs
day.
BIGGER LENDING FUND
BY lowering approximately -
per cent the amount Of money
banks must hold in reserve
against their deposits, the Federal
Reserve Board added $3.50, 900, 900
to the funds that can be used for
lending purposes.
This move, combined with the
Treasury'S gold liberalization, in.

$50, 900 900 the amount Of money

Spective borrowers.
In revising its regulations gov
erning the stock and bond issues
of small business firms, the SEC
needed complaints that the little
fellow found it too expensive to
float securities.
To reduce costs Of registering
issues, the commission established
a new unit that will give free
legal and other advice. This will
enable the small firm to dispense
with some Of the legal fees nor
mally incurred in the process of
attempting to issue securities.
RED TAPE CLIPPED
In line with its policy Of encour-
aging flotation Of small stock and
bond issues, the SEC also removed
certain "red tape" and other cum
bersome regulations that have
blocked issues of this character.
Henceforth, firms wishing to
float issues Of 100000 or less may
do so merely by notifying the COM
mission and abiding by the blue
sky laws of their respective States.
The Administration believes this
relaxation of the commissions reg
ulationS may result in substantial
financing activities on the part of
small industry.
Coincident with this program,
the SEC is attempting to
strengthen the smaller stock ex-
changes so as to provide regional
capital markets for minor Securi-
ties issues.

seven months last year, urging
them to approve the new compro

IT trust after careful considera-

senting the matter to the
House." O'Connor wrote.
BILL WITH LETTER
He informed the members he
would call a meeting "at the first
possible moment, probably early
in the week of April 25." He ex-
planned that because the House
program for next week had al,
ready been fixed by the leadership
it would me impossible to take the
bill to the floor before the fol

the House leadership was forced
to petition 1t to the floor. where
it was rejected by coalition of
Democrats and Republicans by
10 votes.

RUSSIAN ATTACK
ON JAPAN FROM
REAR IS limited.
Siberian Border Closed
To Mask Army Moves
BY ROBERT G. NIXON

~ ANAAA~AN
G.N.S) Soviet Russia has sud
denly closed its Siberian borders
to cloak large scale reinforcement
of its Eastern armies and air force
against a possible outbreak of war
with Japan, 1t was reported in in.
formed diplomatic quarters here
today.
The Siberian borders were
closed April Is, with an announce
ment they might open April 20,
but that the closing order might
be extended indefinitely" Travel
on the TranSsiberian railroad has
been suspended and cable lines
from China to Western Russia
have been shut down.
SET FOR ATTACK
Through private diplomatic
channels, despite a rigid censor
ship by the Soviets, word reached
Washington that Russia is "get-
ting set" to take advantage Of re-
cent disastrous defeats suffered by
the Japanese in China.
The Japanese armies have be.
come so confused, so overextended
and weakened in their Chinese
warfare that they would be GER
tain to sustain defeat if q we'll
equipped modern Soviet army
out of Siberia to smash
them from the rear, stated the
quarters concerned.
Russia, though now under diff
ferent rule, is still nursing a
wounded pride from the defeat
administered by Japan in 1904.
On top of this the greatest threat
presented the Soviet Union since
the post-World War period has
been the double pressure exerted
by the Berlin Tokyo anti-C Comm
tern alliance.
FEAR TO DELAY
The Soviet, said diplomatic and
military authorities, feels it may
be safer to strike now at Japan
than to wait for an almost certain
combination of strength by Japan
with Germany.
Germany, occupied for the time
with completing absorption Of
is not expected to make
any immediate thrust to the east
ward, these sources stated.
With reports Of vast military
preparations in Siberia came
others that the Soviet is supply
ing huge quantities Of war sup
plies to China. This is said to have
been vital factor in the major
defeat administered the Japanese
in Shantung Province. Still other
reports, less credited, however,
said the Soviet sealed its Siberian
borders to conceal a widespread
revolt in the army.
WEAKEN DEFENSE
Japan has had a quarter mil
lion men in Manchukuo, backed
against the Soviet border, since
outbreak Of the Sino-Japanese
defeat at Taierhchwang, however,
forced the Nipponese to withdraw
large numbers of the Manchu-
kuoan regiments, thus weakening
their border defenses against the
Soviet.
Meanwhile the Soviet has been
constantly increasing its military
forces and supply reserves in ST.
IBERIA until it's army now numbers
approximately 100000 men and
1000 airplanes.

tee on next Wednesday.
HOPKINS FIRST WITNESS
WPA Administrator Hopkins, it
wass announced, will be called S

Roosevelt's recommendation for a
$1,250,000,000 WPA appropriation.

lace and Farm Security Admins
tration aides will follow with evil
dence designed to support the re-
quest for SITS, 000,0 900 for destitute
farmers and rural rehabilitation.
The public-works program i,
which involves $450,000,000 in di-
rect expenditures and loans and
grants to municipalities, will be
supported by Secretary of Interior
Ickes the following week.
APPROVAL ANTICIPATED
In spite of criticism of the
"pump-priming" program, Admin
istration leaders were confident
that Congress will approve it. A
progressive" drive to increase
WPA funds appeared likely.
With business piling up in the
House, leaders of that body
agreed:
l. To attempt to pass the pump
printing" program the first week
in May.
2. To order a vote in the House,
if necessary, on the issue of the
undistributed profits tax as a.
means of paving the way for a
conference agreement on the
SIS, 900, 100000 tax bill.
3. To pass a flood control au-
thorization program, ranging from
$500, 000,0 to $500, 100000
4. To place wage-hours legisla-
ton on the problematical list. with
passage doubtful despite an Ad-
ministration and labor drive for
it.
S. To allow regional planning
legislation to die.
EARLY ACTION ON PART
Both Senate and House were
ready to take early action to carry
out part of the Roosevelt pro
gram. The Senate is expected to-
pass next week bill providing
the Civilian Conservation Corps
with an additional $4,000, 900,
while the House planned to add
SOL, 100000 in highway funds to
the agricultural supply bill on
Tuesday.
The Senate was expected to
pass the huge naval authorization
bill, which the House already has
approved. Senate and House Bank
ing Committees were expected to
report amendments to the hous-
ing act designed to make possible
the Roosevelt plan of spending
$500, 100000 on Slum clearance.
The pump printing" program
faced strong opposition from a
bipartisan coalition. Administra-
ton leaders, however, pointed out
that Congress has never refused
to grant administration desires
for relief and recovery programs.
They also banked upon the fact
that this is an election year.
While the House Labor Com
mittee has agreed to a wage-hours
bill, the proposal for minimum
wages from "a to 40 cents an hour
and hours from 40 to A a week,
aroused such deep-seated Southern
opposition that final enactment
appeared remote. Even if the
House passes the bill, opponents
predicted it will die in confer.
