The first bank to be incorporated
under the Massachusetts farm land
bank law of 1915 has filed it's papers
with the state bank commissioner. 1t
will be known as the Massachusetts
Farmland bank, with headquarters in
Springfield and branch offices in ev-
cry county in the state. 1t is CAPT
talized at $4,000 and the stock is al
most entirely subscribed. The object
of the bank is to lend it's money to
the. farmers who have difficulty in
getting credit from ordinary banking
institutions. Under the law, the new
bank, which enjoys special privileges,
can invest only in farm land mort
cages. Money will be loaned at 6
per cent and then on the security of
the mortgage taken, bonds will be
issued at per cent. Both stock and
bonds are tax exempt and the bonds
are legal investment for savings
banks, trust companies, trustees, in
surance companies and public funds.
The money obtained from these bond
sales will be loaned to the farmers,
and so by this method of pyramid
ing" capital of $4,000 will serve
to extend 100000 credit to the
farmers of Massachusetts.

MAINTENANCE OF
AMERICAN RIGHTS

Had this Government by the
use Of both informal and formal
diplomatic opportunities left no
doubt that when we said "strict
accountability" we meant pre-
cisely what we said, and that
we should unhesitatlngly vindi-
cato that position, | am conf
dent that there would have been
no destruction Of American lives
by the sinking of the L%usitanIa.
There, we had ample notice.; In
fact, published notice. Further
more, we knew the situation
and we did not require specific
notice. Instead OF whiting
away our formal statements by
equivocal conversations, we need
ed the straight, direct and de.
cisive representations which ev.
cry diplomat and foreign office
would understand. ! believe
that in thio way we should have
been spared the repeated as
saults on American lives. More.
over, a firm American policy
would have been strongly sup
ported by u people and the op-
portunities for the development
Of bitter feeling would have
been vastly reduced.-From Mr..
