lation, including one to limit the
proposed loans to only those firms
having less than 100000 annual
turnover. He acted after Senators
OMahoney, Democrat, of Wyoming
and Ellender. Democrat, of Louisi-
ana had joined other Senators in
protesting against thems
An amendment proposed by Sen
ator Murray imposing fines and i'm
prisonment for false statements or
fraudulent acts in the obtaining of
loans or contracts from the pro-
posed corporation was adopted, as
was one to authorize the War or
Navy Departments to participate in
or guarantee loans by the corpora
ton.
Supporting Senator Bai,sy's pro-
posal before 1t was withdrawn, Sen
ator Glass. Democrat, of Virginia
contended that the bill now would
permit a single loan of 100000, 900
the full amount authorized in the
measure.
Under this bill they can loan any
amount of money to anybody for any
damn purpose they please" he ex-
planned vigorously.
Earlier, Senator Brown, Democrat,
of Michigan predicted that a large
proportion of loans made under the
measure would be lost, and said it
would change the entire basis for
making Government loans for war
production.
Fears Rush on Treasury.
Senator Bailey said the bill, which
would establish a Smaller War Plants
Corp linked to the War Production
Board, was hkely-unless amended
to bring a rush on the Treasury in
which small business may all get
lost"
Senator Glass recalled that Secre-
tary of Commerce Jones had told the
Senate Banking Committee that one
small business" firm had asked the
r. F. c. for loan of $50, 600, 900.
Senator Taft, Republican. of Ohio
said the aim of the bill was to
mobilize the resources of small busi-
ness TO aid in war production de-
spite the losses that might be sus-
tanned on loans. 1t might be neces-
sary, he said, to loan money to firms
that now were insolvent in order to
get them into the production pro-
gram.
Certainly" Senator Taft declared,
you are going to lose money on
this program. Don't you think the
r. F. c. Is going to lose hundreds
Of millions Of dollars on the loans
they are making to big business?"
