Both houses passed the bill, and it will » l e a s e money, establish new credit and result in great expansion in In­ dustry, including the railroads. Pres­ ident Hoover said, in part: ■ •‘I have signed the Reconstruc­ tion Finance Corporation act ■ •‘ It brings into being a powerful organization with adequate re­ sources. able to strengthen weak­ nesses that may develope in our cre­ dit, banking and railway structure, In order to permit business and in­ dustry to carry on normal activities free from the fear of unexpected shocks and retarding influences. B “ Its purpose is to stop deflation in agriculture and industry and thus to increase employment by the restora­ tion of men to their normal jobs. It is not created for the aid of big in­ dustries or big banks. Spch institu­ tions are amply able to take care of themselves. It is created for the sup­ port of the smaller banks and finan- Cial institutions, and through render ing their resources liquid to give re- newed support to business, industry knd agriculture. It should give op­ portunity to mobilize the gigantic itnength of our country for recov­ ery.
