Administration
Would Finance
Small Business
Securities and Exchange Commission
Believe Plan Would Provide
Credit for Expansion.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 23 (UP)
High administration officials were
known today to be supporters of a
plan that would allow the govern
ment to finance small business loans.
Chairman William O. Douglas of
the securities and exchange commis
sion and Chairman Mariner S. Kccles
of the fed?ral reserve board believe
that such a plan will meet the com
plaints of small business men who
have complained that banks are re
luctant to provide credit for expan
sion. This problem will be discussed at
next Wednesday's meeting of "little
business" with commerce department
officials.
The "little business men" will
travel to Washington at their own
expense commerce department offi
cials said. Asked whether govern
ment funds were available to pay
for expenses Secretary of Commerce
Daniel C. Roper told his press con
ference that he had received no spec
ial authorization on appropriations
congress."
It also appeared that financing
of "little business" is a larger part
of the new deal's second recovery
program now taking place.
The new recovery plan does not
involve the heavy expenditure of
public funds but rather is designated
to stimulate private opportunity.
The highlights of the administra
tion's business aid program are:
1. Creation of permanent facil
ities for financing small business.
2. Revision of the undistributed
corporate profits and the capital
gains-and-lcsses taxes which busi
ness claims are burdensome and bar
riers to recovery.
3. Creation of the U. S. housing
authority to facilitate slum clearance
and liberalization of the market poli
cies of the federal housing adminis
tration to stimulate construction.

approximate raaiinium who can be
