WILL PUSH
THE RURAL CREDITS BILL
Promises Senator Fletcher He Will
Help Get the Measure
Through Congress.

President Wilson has informed SEN
ator Fletcher of Florida chairman of
the United States commission on rural
credits, that he intends to do all in his
power to get rural credits legislation
sion. Senator Fletcher made a request
of the President that he take up the
matter of rural credits in his coming
message to Congress and urge upon
Congress the need of such legislation.
The President in replying to Senator
Fletcher, while he did not say that he
intended to take the matter up in his
message. stated very clearly that he
would give all the help he could in get
ting action on rural credits.
The joint committee on rural credits,
which rs now at work upon a report
and bill, has gathered a great amount
of information, and it is expected that
it will be ready to lay its report before
Congress by January l, the date when
it must report under the law Great
ing 1t.
Senator Fletcher, although not a
member of the joint committee, by a
resolution adopted by that committee
it's consideration of the entire matter
He said today that he considered rural
credits legislation one of the most
vital needs of the country.
Germany never could have made the
fight she is making today against the
nations of Europe If she had not forti-
fed herself through Strengthening the
farmers of the country, making it pos.
sible for them to supply the food OF
the people," he said. I'm 1870, six years
before our revolutionary war. Germany
adopted a system of rural credits, and
it has been saving grace.

change was dull and inactive to-
day, awaiting political and military
developments. Although the military
organization and unity of Serbia are
broken by the capture of the arsenal

may prove more wearing and for
midable than organized fighting.
This is the view of personal friend
Of mine who has just returned from
Nish and Uskub.
The marvellous success Of Lord

as significant. | believe that the
governments recruiting policy will
aim at avoiding, as far as posi-
bic, any reduction Of the export

the financial with the military policy
is evident.
Lord Welby's death is a severe
personal loss to the world Of finance.
He was the most distinguished and
experienced representative of Glad
stones financial methods, and sue
ceeded Lord Farrar as chairman of
the Golden Club. He busted himself
with problems of war and finance
10 the end. When / visited him last
month his mind was perfectly clear.
He was a contemporary of George
Trevelyan at Cambridge and of
Lord Eversley at Eton. The most
remarkable incident in his career at
the Treasury was his mission to
Walter Bagehot, then editor of "The
Economist" which resulted in the in
vention of Treasury bills.
This reminds me that the per
cent "yearling" bills have attracted
plenty of private investors, though
they cannot be bought in smaller
denominations than one thousand
pounds sterling. Meanwhile, high
rates for Treasury bills have natu-
rally deadened the discount market.
Asto the new loan, the desirability
of avoiding another long term issue
is recognized. Reports from Ger
many and Austria indicate the ap-
proach of famine conditions, due to
irsuficiency of wages through de-
pYeciating currency rather than to
any actual failure of food supplies.
