ances, has made loans for rehabilita-
ton of property damaged by floods,

and has assisted American COM
panies in the expectation of agricul-
tural and manufactured products.
Railroads Need Help.
The r. F. c. and its Gelated agen-
cies have been in and out of each of
these fields as the economic need
of the country demanded. There has
never been problem too large for
them to tackle, too difficult for them
to handle, too small for them to
consider. Indeed it is the multiple
lty of small problems which con-
stitutes the great mass of our &C.
tivity. There now remain COM
paratively few banking and insur-
ance problems. Railroads, however,
continue to require attention, and
the r. F. C. has within the last 80
days made commitments aggregat-
ing $4,000, 900 for the purchase Of
new railroad equipment. This
should enable the roads to meet the
best traffic demand they have had
since the 20s.
One of the most interesting tasks
the R. F. c. has ever been asked to
perform and one that is now re-
ceiving its most careful attention
is the program of loans to busi-
ness enterprises. There is today
distinct probability of new and

greater markets. Such prospect has
given business courage and initia-
tive to increase production. This
country's trade will lind new out
lets in countries geographically close
to 1t and kindred in political phi
losophy.
There is still, however, = definite
need for financial assistance in
business pursuits Of every charac-
ter. In normal times the larger
and more successful corporations
have found little dificulty in OBJ
tanning necessary financing, but
there frequently has been some
doubt as to the adequacy of proper
credit facilities for the small units
of business. In view of the pres
ent promise of increased business
activity it is tremendously impor-
tant that ample credit be kept avail
able.
The noticeable decline in the vol.
ume of stock and bond issues since
Evening star., 1939-11-21

rather authorize a thousand loans Of
81 1000 each than q single loan Of
81 100000. The r. F. c. is big. not
because of it's big loans. but because
of its great volume of little loans
and of the manifold small problems
brought to it for solution.
I shall not attempt to run the
gamut of all our lending history,
celebrating upon each class Of loan.
Suffice it to say that the R. F. c.,
together with the agencies managed
or capitalized by it-namely, Electric
Home and Farm Authority, the r.
F. c. Mortgage Co., Federal National
Mortgage Association, Disaster Loan
Corp. and the Export Import Bank
of Washington-has made loans to
aid agriculture and banks, both open
and closed; has invested in the cap
ital stock of banks, purchased the
bonds of drainage, levee and irriga-
ton districts and made loans for the
construction of projects to be Hqui-
dated from their own revenues: has
made loans to railroads, public bod
les, business enterprises, to mortgage
and insurance companies, building
and loan associations, public school
authorities, State funds created to
insure deposits of public monies, the
Rural Identification Administration,
the Commodity Credit Corp; has
purchased mortgages insured by the
Federal Housing Administration, has
financed installment sales contracts

R. &c. Chairman
Discusses Lending
Program on Forum
Emil Sehrom Speaks
On Agency's Function
In Aiding Business

Emil Schram, chairman Of the
Reconstruction Finance Corp, spoke
on "The r. r. G. and the Business
Lending Program" last night in the
National Radio Forum, arranged by
The Star and broadcast over q Ma
tion-wide network of the National
Broadcasting Co. The text of his
address follows:
It Is always a distinct pleasure
for me to discuss the activities Of
the Reconstruction Finance Corp.
+ am indeed grateful to The WASH
ington Evening Star and the Nation
al Broadcasting Co. for extending
to me tonight the privilege of using
their facilities for this purpose.
The r. F. c. was created early
In January, 1882, to provide emer-
gency facilities for financial institu-
tions and to aid agriculture, COM
merce and industry. Although the
immediate effect of it's creation was
beneficial, its powers were not suf-
ficiently broad to solve the economic
problems then existing Conse-
quently, just five days after the in
auguration of President Roosevelt,
legislation was adopted granting
r. F. c. the authority to make
bank investments-and the bank
ing structure of the Nation was
saved from collapse This was
simultaneous with the elevation to
the Craftsmanship of the board of
Mr.. Jesse H. Jones, who had served
as one of the original directors.
That the corporation under his
leadership has kept pace always
with the increasing demands upon
it is great tribute to a great
American. Because of his past ex-
perience as chairman and his pres
ent position as Federal loan ad-
ministrator I had hoped that Mr..
Jones could share this broadcast
with me tonight. This he planned
to do but his absence from the city
prevented.
Loans of 10 Billions.
Doubtless you have heard the r.
r. c. referred to as a gigantic lend
Ing institution. Its magnitude is
even more apparent when it Is
realized that loans aggregating more
than $10,500 100000 have been auth
orized, and that nearly $4,000, 900 900
have actually been disbursed. But
I would not have you think that the
r. F. G. is concerned only with
large loans. True, it has made many
such loans, the largest being for the
construction of 240-mile aqueduct
from the Colorado River to Lower
California at a cost of more than
$500, 100000 On the other hand, it
has made a tremendous volume of
small loans, ranging as low as 5000.
The Board of Directors would far
Evening star., 1939-11-21

1880 as contrasted with the pre-
depression volume indicates to some
extent the degree to which loans In
the field of business enterprise have
diminished. A pertinent reason for
this diminution is the exorbitant
price which small business is called
upon to pay for borrowing in the
open market. Issues of the various
corporate securities registered with
the Securities and Exchange Com
mission during the years 1886 and
1887 reveal that small business was
compelled to pay $3.50 for each $1OO
of securities marketed where the
issue aggregated $250,000 or less,
while big business paid only 1925
