CALL FOR PART" OF
-WAR HIND DOE SOON
Treasury Certificates of In
debtedness to Be Offered
First to Banks.
BONDS TO APPEAR LATER
Derangement In Financial Circles
to Be ATolded by Promptly Re
turning Money to Market,
as Far as Possible.
WASHINGTON. April 20. First call
to the country for war finances will
bo made. Secretary McAdoo announced
today, as soon as the $7,000,000,000 fi
nancial bill becomes a law, probably
within three or four days.
The call will be for subscriptions to
a. part of the $2,000,000,000 Issue of
Treasury certificates of indebtedness,
designed to meet financial needs pend
ing the issuance of the $5,000,000,000
In bonds and the receipt by the Gov
ernment of its war taxes, and will be
made on the banks of the country and
not upon individuals.'
The first portion of the $5,000,000,000
bond issue probably will be offered to
the public within 60 days, hardly ear
lier. I
In making- Its first call for finances
the Government will utilize the smooth-running'-
machinery of the Federal re
nerve system. Anticipating the formal
request, the Federal Reserve Board to
day Instructed the 13 reserve banks to
enlist the co-operation of all banks
throughout the country, state and Na
tional as well as trust companies, In
the programme of preparing the field.
This means that the banks of the coun
try will be asked to subscribe as lib
erally as they may and as the money
Is needed to the issue of certificates of
Indebtedness, which will be put out In
advance of the big bond Issue.
$200,000,000 Likely First.
How many millions of these certifi
cates will be issued has not yet been
determined. The first offer. Secretary
McAdoo announced, prob,ably will be
$200,000,000. Other offers, by the hun
dreds of millions, probably will follow
as the funds are needed.
The interest rate also has not been
definitely decided on. Under the law
the Secretary may pay up to 3V4 per
cent. Soundings of sentiment yester
day and today revealed a willingness
of banks to take a substantial offer
ing at as low a rate as 2 per cent,
and Secretary McAdoo announced that
"a wide market" could be created for
the certificates If they were offered at
3 per cent.
Certificates purchased by the banks
may be used in lieu of cash. Mr. McAdoo
again announced, in paying for the
bonds when Issued.
Moneys received for the certificates
will.be promptly returned to circula
tion under the Secretary's programme,
so that there may be no derangement
of the money market. The proceeds
will be paid out by the Government in
business transactions, the money will
again - be deposited in the banks and
the banks will be in the position of
having both the money and the cer
tificates with which to meet withdraw
als by depositors subscribing to the
bond Issue.
Reserve Board to Co-operate.'
The fullest co-operation of the Fed
eral Reserve Board will be given the
Treasury Department In disposing of
the certificates. Letters so instructing
the Federal Reserve Banks were sent
out today by the board after Mr. Mc
Adoo had announced his programme.
Although the $7,000,000,000 finance
bill has passed both houses of Congress
it has not been finally disposed of be
cause of amendments of a minor r- ture.
This situation will be adjusted In con
ference. Shortly thereafter only the
President's signature will be required
to make the measure law. April 23 is
the tentative date fixed by Secretary
McAdoo for his first informal negotia
tions with the banks.
Veterans; not for ourselves, but for our
country."
Three of the prayers offered at the
St. Paul's service were especially pre
pared for the occasion. The first one
was:
"Thou, O God, hast put Into tho hearts
of the President and people of America
to join the allied nations in a great war
in defense of liberty, humanity and jus
tice. W a pray thee to grant victory to
our forces."
The second prayer was:
"We pray thee to guide the President
and those to whom thou hast committed
the Government of the United States.
Grant them special wisdom and under
standing that they may fulfill thy di
vine purposes.
And the third:
"We thank thee for " the abundant
blessings thou hast bestowed on the
people of the United States. We pray
t'-zy may labor always to advance thy
kingdom on earth, that peace, happi
ness, truth and justice may everywhere
flourish and abound." ' '
- It was an ideal 'Spring morning and
as early as 8 o'clock crowds of persons
who had not obtained admission tickets
began to assemble about the church.
Americans in uniforms of the Cana
dian, New Zealand and Australian con
tingents mingled with thousands of
conventionally clad civilians, nearly all
of whom displayed email American
flags. An American banner on the Vic
tory Tower of Westminster Palace be
side the British colors was the subject
of universal comment, for there Is no
precedent of such a complimentary
act..

assure rapid handling of material in
the interest of proper and speedy con
struction.

tricts, kind of power to be installed.
method of construction and the man
ner In which the Government will aid
financially and In facilitating the
movement of supplies.
G. M. McDowell talKed briefly on
some of the experiences met with in
establishing the McEachern yard,
where five vessels are under construc
tion on the ways at one time, with
another being finished In the water.
He brought out the long lengths of
timber wanted for present ships, run
ning from SO to 126 feet, and some of
them 24 inches in diameter, citing that
mills must have advance orders and
instructions to get out special stuff
of the sort.
He said another Item was steel fas
tenings, from 80 to 120 tons of which
were used In each of the present ships,
and that they had advanced in price,
while deliveries were held back four
to seven months. Wooden fastenings,
he said, were being drawn from the
East since Australian supplies were
cut off, and other material was not
favored that is available on this Coast.
Oakum, of the kind the Government
will accept, he declared was almost im
possible to obtain, and that few yards
would be in a position to lay down
more than five or six ships at once
and properly direct their building.
Of 400 to 475 men employed at the
Astoria yard, many not skilled in ship
work when hired, being house carpen
ters, some were four to six months
mastering the art, and, he said, in order
to insure maximum forces there must
be some means of enlisting men In that
worK regularly.
Dr. Andrew C. Smith told of the
shortage of men in Eastern yards,
notably at the famed wooden shipbufld
ing center of Bath, Jse., where, he said,
old men who had retired, were being
drawn to the plants again, some of
them barely able physically to perform
the tasks.
President Corbett remarked that he
felt certain General Goethals would
perfect an early and efficient organiza
tion, so all details would be standard
ized as to shipwork. also that he stood
for drawing men to the Coast plants
from inland so the question of ordinary
labor would be disposed of.
H. E. Pennell reviewed briefly the
report made in writing to Theodore
Brent, vice-chairman of the Federal
Shipping Board, and Naval Constructor
Underwood, on the occasion of a pub
lie hearing held by them early in the
month.
Engines May Cam Delay.
He said an estimate of 100 ships i
year had been made, but that was with
out taking into consideration the far
nishing of either steam or oil combus
tion engines. He said while a hull could
be turned out in six to seven months,
late investigations showed that Diesel
engines could not be delivered under
14 months. Just what can be done de
pends on the type of ships and speci
fications, he said.
i. J. Wentworth asserted that mills
could furnish the lumber without ques
tion, and that it was other necessary
material that is to be worried over.
George C. Mason proposed sending a
representative to Washington, but oth
ers said the system undoubtedly would
be tc allot ships on the Coast to the
full number that could bo built.
A report to Mr. Brent was that there
were 11 yards in Oregon, two on the
Coast in the southern part of the state.
three on the Columbia River and six at
Portland, while W. D. B. Dodson, execu
tive secretary of the Chamber, says sev
eral men have assured him they will
finance more yards to help meet the
governments construction campaign
requirements.
Another meeting to be held at m
o'clock this morning is to take up ques
tions of labor, the number of skilled
men available, schools to be established
for breaking in others such as bridge
carpenters and Bouse carpenters, and
the general working organization so
far s .t has to do with the workers
who will man the many plants.
