REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY ON THE
WAR FINANCE CORPORATION FOR THE YEAR ENDED
NOVEMBER 30, 1929
WASHINGTON, D . C , February 12,
1930.
S I R : I n accordance with section 19 of Title I of the War Finance
Corporation act, as amended, the following report is submitted for
the year ended November 30, 1929.
CORPORATION IN LIQUIDATION
The War Finance Corporation has reached the final stage of liquidation and is approaching the close of a career t h a t began in 1918 as a
part of the Government's program of war finance and extended into
the post-war period to assist in meeting certain emergency financial
situations that arose primarily as the aftermath of war conditions.
The original purpose of the corporation, created by the act of April
5, 1918, was to give financial support to industries whose operations
were "necessary or contributory to the prosecution of the w a r " and
to banking institutions that aided in financing such industries. In
order to assist in the transition from conditions of war to conditions
of peace, the corporation was authorized by the act of March 3, 1919,
to make advances to American exporters and American banking
institutions which extended credits to finance American exports.
The activities of the corporation were discontinued in May, 1920, at
the request of the then Secretary of the Treasury. On January 4,
1921, the Congress passed a joint resolution directing the corporation
to resume operations. When agricultural conditions became acute,
the corporation was empowered by the act of August 24, 1921, commonly known as the agricultural credits act of 1921, to make loans for
agricultural purposes to banking and financing institutions, including
livestock loan companies, and to cooperative marketing associations
of producers.
The last-named act provided that the corporation should cease
active operations on July 1, 1922. The Congress, however, by the
act of June 10, 1922, extended until June 30, 1923, the period during
which it was authorized to make loans, and this period was further
extended to March 31, 1924, by the agricultural credits act of 1923.,
and to December 31, 1924, by the act of February 20, 1924. In
accordance with the terms of the last-named act, the corporation discontinued the making of new loans and entered the period of liquidation on January 1, 1925.
The corporation's charter, limited under the original act to a period
of 10 years from April 5, 1918, was extended for one year, or from
April 4, 1928, to April 4, 1929, by the act of April 4, 1928. By the
act of March 1, 1929, the liquidation of the assets remaining at the
close of April 4, 1929, and the winding up of the affairs of the cor1

poration thereafter were transferred to the Secretary of the Treasury,
who for such purpose was given all the powers and duties of the
board of directors of the corporation under the War Finance Corporation act of April 5, 1918, as amended. A copy of the act of
March 1, 1929, is attached to this report as Exhibit H.
LIQUIDATING COMMITTEE
To carry out the program of liquidation, the Secretary of the
Treasury, pursuant to authority contained in the law, issued an order
dated April 5, 1929, a copy of which is attached to this report as
Exhibit I, assigning to a liquidating committee the exercise and performance, under his general supervision and direction, of all powers
and duties vested in him by the act of March 1, 1929, and directing
the payment into the Treasury of the funds belonging to the corporation which were not required for carrying on and completing
the liquidation of its remaining assets and the winding up of its
affairs. The committee designated by the secretary consisted of
Eugene Meyer, G. R. Cooksey, and F. R. Harrison, Mr. Meyer being
named as chairman. All the members of the committee nad been
directors of the corporation and were members of the Federal Farm
Loan Board. They serve without additional compensation.
Mr. Meyer resigned effective M a y 10, 1929, and the Secretary of
the Treasury, in an order dated M a y 9, 1929, a copy of which is
attached to this report as Exhibit J, constituted and designated,
effective M a y 11, 1929, G. R. Cooksey and F . R. Harrison a liquidating committee, Mr. Cooksey being named as chairman.
PAYMENT OF FUNDS INTO THE TREASURY
The original capital stock of the corporation was $500,000,000, all
of which was subscribed by the United States. On January 5, 1925,
following its entry into the period of liquidation, the corporation,
with the approval of the Secretary of the Treasury, canceled and
retired at par $499,000,000 of its capital stock, paying that amount
into the Treasury, and leaving $1,000,000 of capital stock outstanding.
In accordance with the order of the Secretary of the Treasury of
April 5, 1929, mentioned above, the corporation on that date paid
into the Treasury $65,342,768.79, which included $990,000 on account
of the cancellation and retirement of capital stock at par, leaving
$i0,000 of capital stock outstanding, and $64,352,768.79 on account
of earnings of the corporation. In view of the fact that the funds of
the corporation are kept on deposit with the Treasurer of the United
States, this payment was essentially a bookkeeping transaction and
therefore did not increase the balance in the Treasury. I t was accomplished by the delivery of a check for $65,342,768.79 drawn by
the corporation on its account with the Treasurer of the United
States, and made payable to the Treasurer of the United States.
There is attached to this report as Exhibit E a statement of the
corporation as of the close of business April 4, 1929, which shows its
condition before the payment of $65,342,768.79 into the Treasury.
In connection with this statement a careful survey was made of the
assets of the corporation, estimates of the amounts realizable therefrom as of April 4, 1929, being obtained from the corporation's
ANNUAL REPORT OF T H E WAR FINANCE CORPORATION
3
agricultural loan agencies and others, and the books were adjusted
in accordance with these estimates in order that, on the basis of the
best data available, they would reflect as accurately as possible the
corporation's condition as of that date.
EARNINGS
The operations of the corporation will result in no loss to the
Government, and the Treasury will be fully reimbursed for the large
sums it advanced to meet the emergency situations with which the
corporation had to deal. As pointed out above, all except $10,000 of
the corporation's $500,000,000 capital stock has been retired at par,
and in addition $64,352,768.79 has been covered into the Treasury
as earnings of the corporation. The total net earnings of the corporation from its inception to November 30, 1929, were $64,880,194.61, including the amount already covered into the Treasury and $527,425.82
carried on the corporation's books on that date. Under section 15
of the War Finance Corporation act, the net earnings of the corporation constitute a reserve fund for contingencies and are, of course,
subject to adjustment as the remaining assets of the corporation are
liquidated.
While the Congress granted large powers to the corporation, it
contemplated the repayment of its advances and stipulated that they
be fully and adequately secured in each instance. The emergency
situations with which the corporation had to deal were fraught with
the risk of large losses and this is particularly true with respect to
its advances for agricultural purposes which it was necessary to
make quickly and on a large scale. Applications for loans and the
working out of distressed situations were considered with the fullest
measure of sympathy permissible under law and in keeping with
sound principles in order that the greatest relief possible by the extension of credit might be given. The liquidation of the corporation
has been conducted in an orderly manner and every endeavor made
to assist borrowers who had a chance to work out of their difficulties.
No attempt has been made to make a profit for the Government, but
every effort has been made to render the maximum of assistance
without loss to the Government.
The earnings of the corporation can not be construed as profits to
the Government because a computation in this connection must take
into account the cost of the money to the Treasury which furnished
all the capital of the corporation. If the Treasury had not been
called upon to supply funds to the corporation, its current borrowings
in the market on the basis of interest-bearing obligations, of course,
would have been correspondingly less. Taking all factors into
account, it is estimated that when the business of the corporation is
finally liquidated, the Treasury will have been reimbursed for its
purchase of the capital stock of the corporation and in addition for
the approximate cost of the funds furnished by the Government. In
other words, the loaning operations of the corporation will have been
conducted substantially at cost to the Government.
The earnings of the corporation represent the income received from
interest on Government securities purchased by it from time to time
and on all loans made by it since its organization in 1918, including
its war loans, its export loans, and its agricultural and livestock loans,
4
ANNUAL REPORT OF TIIE WAR FINANCE CORPORATION
after deducting operating expenses and charges to profit and loss. I t
may be stated, as has been said in previous reports of the corporation,
that the cost of making and administering the agricultural and livestock loans of the corporation was considerably greater than that of
the other business of the corporation.
REPAYMENTS DURING THE YEAR
Repayments received and applied on agricultural and livestock
loans from December 1, 1928, to November 30, 1929, totaled $191,800
of which $181,800 was repaid on advances to banking institutions,
and $10,000 on advances to livestock loan companies. In addition,
expense advances were repaid in the amount of $11,000 and $19,700
was repaid on the corporation's war loans, bringing the total repayments for the year of amounts advanced to $222,500.
The corporation having entered upon the period of liquidation on
January 1, 1925, the only advances that have been made since t h a t
date are those designated as "Expense advances"; that is, advances
necessary for the care and preservation of the corporation's security
incident to the orderly liquidation of its assets and the winding up
of its affairs. No such advances were made during the year covered
by this report.
On November 30, 1929, the loans and expense advances outstanding on the corporation's books totaled $337,000 (principal amount),
as follows: War loans, $170,500; agricultural and livestock loans,
$166,500 (including expense advances of $3,400).
Statements showing the condition of the corporation at the close
of business November 30, 1929, and receipts and disbursements from
December 1, 1928, to November 30, 1929, are attached to this report
as Exhibits F and G.

Of the loans made by the corporation under its war powers, $170,500
(principal amount) was carried on the books of the corporation on

represents the balance due on the security taken by the corporation
In the reorganization of an industrial company which received an
advance during the war.
DISCONTINUANCE OF AGRICULTURAL LOAN AGENCIES AND REDUCTION
OF EXPENSES
As indicated in previous reports, when the work under the act of
August 24, 1921, was begun, 33 agricultural loan agencies were established in the various sections of the country. On November 30,
1929, only two agencies, Atlanta, Ga., and Santa Fe, N . Mex., were in
active operation. In addition, a small amount was outstanding
through the St. Louis, Mo., agency. The remaining 30 agencies
had been discontinued and the supervision of outstanding loans, if
any, transferred to other agencies or to Washington. Included in
this number were two agencies which were discontinued during the
year covered by this report, the Portland, Oreg., agency, which was
discontinued on December 11, 1928, and the Minneapolis, Minn.,
agency, which was discontinued on April 30, 1929, and the supervision of its remaining business transferred to Washington. The
Atlanta, Ga., agency was discontinued as of January 15, 1930, and
the supervision of its remaining business transferred to Washington.
A statement showing the headquarters of the agricultural loan agencies as of November 30, 1929, and the personnel of the committees
in charge of them is attached to this report as Exhibit K. The
exhibit also contains a list of the agencies discontinued or consolidated
with others.
Following its customary policy, the corporation has continued to
reduce its operating expenses and personnel, both in Washington
and in the field, as rapidly as consistent with the requirements of the
work and the protection of its interests. On December 1, 1929, the
salaried staff in Washington numbered 6, compared with 14 on December 1, 1928; 26 on December 1, 1927; 49 on December 1, 1926; 98 on

An Act To amend the War Finance Corporation Act approved April 5, 1918, as amended, to provide
for the liquidation of the assets and the winding up of the affairs of the War Finance Corporation after
April 4, 1929, and for other purposes.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of
America in Congress assembled, That the War Finance Corporation act of April
5, 1918, as amended, be, and the same is hereby, further amended so that at the
close of April 4, 1929, the liquidation of the assets remaining at that time and the
winding up of the affairs of the corporation thereafter shall be transferred to the
Secretary of the Treasury, who for such purpose shall have all the powers and
duties of the board of directors of the corporation under said act, as amended.
For carrying out the provisions of this act the Secretary of the Treasury may
assign to any officer or officers of the United States in the Treasury Department
the exercise and performance, under his general supervision and direction, of any
such powers and duties. He shall from time to time pay into the Treasury as
miscellaneous receipts any moneys belonging to the corporation which, in his
opinion, are not required for carrying on and completing the liquidation of its
remaining assets and the winding up of its affairs, including reasonable provision
for the further expenses thereof. Nothing in the said act, as amended, or this act,
shall be construed to affect any right or privilege accrued, any penalty or liability
incurred, any criminal or civil proceeding commenced, or any authority conferred
thereunder, except as herein provided in connection with the liquidation of the
remaining assets and the winding up of the affairs of the said corporation, until
the Secretary of the Treasury shall find that such liquidation will no longer be
advantageous to the United States and that all of its lawful obligations have been
met, whereupon he shall retire any capital stock then outstanding, pay into the
Treasury as miscellaneous receipts the unused balance of the moneys belonging
to the corporation, and make the final report of the corporation to the Congress.
Thereupon the corporation shall be deemed to be dissolved.

close of April 4, 1929, with the same requirements, duties, and responsibilities
as theretofore, and shall from time to time make such changes therein as it may

corporation's assets and the winding up of its affairs.
The chairman or the acting chairman may execute all legal documents, such
as contracts, releases, powers of attorney, assignments, conveyances, or other
instruments, required in connection with the liquidation of the assets of the
corporation and the winding up of its affairs, and such documents may be attested
by the secretary and treasurer or the assistant secretary and treasurer of the
corporation.
The liquidating committee shall keep a complete and accurate record of all
its meetings and shall from time to time submit its minutes to the Secretary of
the Treasury.
Immediately following the execution of this order there shall be paid into the
Treasury of the United States the amount standing to the credit of the said
corporation on the books of the Treasurer of the United States subject to its
check, in excess of the sum of $210,000. Such payment shall be made by check
