The last annual report of Secretary
McAdoo contains the following:
"The government must, if necessary, absorb the sup

States during the period of the war. This, in turn, makes ! in passing it should be remarked that one paper is enoii'di

In fixing (lie dates and amounts of the Liberty Loan
issues the Secretary of the Treasury considers not only
the needs of the government, but takes into careful con
sideration the business of the country and the financial
needs of the country's business. ,
While no specific authority has Jieen conferred by law
upon him to pass upon new undertakings involving large
expenditures of capital, labor or material, the secretary
states that banks, corporations, municipal and state oi'l'i

, The secretary has requested the Federal Reserve Hoard
to' puss upon such proposals as may be submitted to him
and advise whether such expenditures of capital requiring
the use of labor and material and such issues of new securi
ties should be undertaken. Material and labor as well as
