respect of any security of another person; provided that such issuance 
or assumption is for some lawful object within the corporate purposes 
of the applicant, and compatible with the public interest, and is 
reasonably necessary or appropriate for such purposes.
    The Commission reserves the right to require a further showing that 
neither public nor private interests will be adversely affected by
