POWER OF FINANCE BOARD President Hoover himself hardly has more power than the newly cre ated Reconstruction Finance Cor poration. which is headed up by Charles G. Dawes. The act places enormous power in the hands of a few men, who have uie aumority to lend money in great gobs, if they like, or to parcel it cut to make It go a long way and rtach many individual concerns ■ The new corporation will be man aged by a board of directors consist ing of the secretary of the treasury, the governor of the Federal Reserve Board, the farm loan commissioner and four Other persons appointed by the president with the consent of the Senate. As a matter of fact, the cor poration. In a sense, is these seven men. It is their job, as Mr. Hoover has said “to d.op deflation in agri culture and industry." Half a billion dollars thus far has been placed at the disposal of the corporation, which has the right to lend the money to r* t ' r "»<K farmers banks operating and closed -life in surance companies, building and loan associations and other financial ins.i tutions. The corporation can secure one and a half billion more money for lend.ng purposes by selling "re construction bonds." The board of directors alone determines the terms and conditions of the loans. Directly and indirectly the corporation can lend up to one hundred million dollars to any establisned domestic corpra- j tion. It can place interest rates high, or low. It can accept or reject do mestic collateral as 1“ «pes fit. Through the secretary of agr.cul ture. it can lend from .V) to 200 mil lion dollars to farmers without any eollat»*rr\l at all save a first lien on future crops, which may not even be planted. As far-reaching as arc the corpor ation's powers, they are no greater than tne gigantic problem It faces in attempting to r*store business in this country. Discussing the extent of the new government concern. The Nation says: "The Corporation's loaning powers are paralleled by its bond-selling powers. The principal and interest of the reconstruction bonds are guar anteed by the United Stages. Yet the Corporation can set the interest rates and sell the bonds or? its own terms and conditions. It can also buy th<“ bonds back at whatever price it agrees upon with the bondholders. There is nothing in the act to prevent it from borrowing money at six pe: cent, aay, and loaning it out at three percent, or borrowing at eight and loaning ax once. There Is nothing to prevent it from overloaning to one Industry or section and underloading to another industry or section, or from accepting questionable collat eral. lit the end the Treasury De partment, not the Corporatioa. will bear the losses incurred in this tre mendous attempt to prevent industry from going to the wall.” Smith says he ;s not a candidate and the Japs say they are fighting a de fensive war. What a world! First it was groundhog day. then Lincoln’s anniversary this Friday, with Valentine day Sunday. A week later is Washington's birthday, and on the 29th the missus celebrates. We’ll say this February Is a famous month. WASHINGTON’S BIRTHDAY Gaorge Washington, tike some of ua in these modern times, was •some what of a stickler for the old ways of doing things. And that accounts for his refusal to observe February 22 aa his birthday. It continued to be February 11 with him, even after the British government had adopted a new system of reckoning time. As a matter of fact, it makes very little difference whether George wwe born on February 11 or 22. The big thing is the service he gave to his country and the government he helped to es tablish here in the new world. We clip ‘-the following from the Goldsboro News-Argus about Wash ington's birthday: In a Bible at Mount Vernon, a Bible more than 200 years old, may be seen the following inscription: "George Washington, son of Augus tine and Mary, his wife, was born the 11th day of February, 1732. about 10 in the morning and was baptized the sth day of April." Why. then, do we nowadays cele brate February 22. as Washington's birthday? The answer arises out of the fact that the calendar on which the Eng lieh-apeaking parts of the world were running at the time of Washington’s birth was not correct. About 20 years after Washington's birth, and while the American Colo nies were still under British rule, the British parliament dropped 11 days from September of that year in order to bring the written and printed cal endar into more correct correspond ence with the passage of the seasons and years as measured by the sun and the stars. Than calendar, called the Julian calendar, had gotten behind 11 days in 17 centuries. The charge made by British parliament followed by about a century and a half the correction instituted in some other countries by order of the then Pope, Gregory XIII. From this authority the Improved calendar got its name of the Grego rian calendar. The change of course had wide spread effects and special laws had to be included to protect contracts, ate. George Washington is said to have been one of the many folks who, for reasons of sentiment, continued to keep anniversaries by the old dates and, although he legally recognized February 22. kept on observing Feb ruary 11 as his birthday.

Habits Untorier'e. Yet we know that we must take that titep or perish. So. let us make a definite break with all our miserable doubts and with all our menial reservations. Let us endure this separation no longer. Let us end this self-imposed banishment from the only Light that can be illumine our souls' darkness. Have we lost all of our capacity for action? Has our faith all but disap peared? No. We will arise and go to our Father. There is nothing else left for us to do. PRAYER: O God, we would have sold ourselves into slaveryy, choosing the way of selfishness in tho service of mammon. We would have made our bed in hell, seeking to please only our senses. But Thou hast saved us from ourselves i>.nd hast stirred again in us the desire i Thee. We come, O God, to Thee. We ask nothing save that we may live once more in Thy light. Father, wilt Thou now re ceive us if we come? In deep humi lity and in contrition, we pray that. Thou wilt receive us. Amen. Whose Captive ?
