A- The. joint action of the Federal Reserve Board and thfe .War Finance Corporation. "The .Federal' Reserve Board cut off loans by means of prohibitive interest rates to^ local banks. The War Finance "Corporation with, $375,600,000.00 cash on hand and pow' t* tq issue bonds .ind raise millions ?miIX. cut off all loans- for export of farm products. The two together did the work.. It the War Finance Corporation liad chosen to-do' so, it could - . have used Its funds to "frustrate and defeat the policy of the Federal Reserve Board. That is, if the War Finance Corporation had loaned funds at for 5 to 6^ per cent, is it had power ?? to da, tbe FcJcial IUmlijc. mnihl :mL have been able to charge more.
