The Federal Farm Loan.

A striking instance of ill-considered
legislation is afforded in the Federal
Farm Loan Act. designed to give
financial aid to farmers who need to
borrow money. Thus far the act in its
operation has proved well nigh a fall
ure. With applications for loans ag-
gregating $40. 900. the twelve Fed
eral Land Banks had up to December
}. 1917. approved loans amounting to
SOS, 100000. but only about $30, 600 600
had been actually paid to applicants.
The banks were expected to raise
money for loantng purposes by sale
of bonds for which farm mortgages
would Re security. But the financial
readjustments caused by the war. the
large Liberty Loans, the more attrac-
tive returns from stocks and bonds
procurable at bargain prices. worked
against the sale of the Federal Farm
Loan issues. Capital which otherwise
might have been invested in them
was diverted elsewhere. 1t is said that
81. .0oo, 100000 OF farm mortgage loans
in the hands of private investors. in
surance and trust companies will be
called this year. and many of the
mortEagors will be unable to pay un-
less the Farm Loan Board comes to
the rescue. The latter confessed its
inability to dispose of bonds to the
public and applied to the government
to buy 500. 900 OF the bonds. Con-
gress has passed an act authorizing
the Treasury to take only $10o. 900 600.
Unless the board can make a success
full :ale of its bonds, its Golfers will
soon be empty again.

Confidence IN Foch.


Before the German drive was stopped wavering
of confidence in Foch was seen in dispatches from
London, and could be read between the lines in
those from Paris also. This skeptieism was de-
plorable, inasmuch as it tended to weaken allied
unity of command If Foch were deposed it would
be difficult if not impossible to prevent the allied
armies from lapsing into the conditions that pre-
vailed before last March; in other words, it is
doubtful If any other generalissmo could have been
appointed
Now, however, things different Even Lieut.
Col Repington, who has been a consistent advocate
of the old-line British military party which bitterly
opposed the unity Of command, pays tribute to
Foch. He says:
"Generalissimo- Foch deserves entire conf
dence. No soldier tried harder than he to prevent
the present disadvantageous condition under which
are fighting from coming about He has dis
played in his present great command qualities of
courage and patience which we admire 1t is hard
imagine more onerous task than his, and if he
has critics here they might well be sent to his
headquarters to learn something.
I'VE are not IN brilliant strategic position
The enemy has a superiority and has assumed the
initiative strength of it. Yet, despite the defeats
which have been CALLING. Gen. Foch holds all his
armies together and temporarily, at least, arrested
the enemy.
IF Gen Foch has not undertaken a great coun-
ter stroke it is because neither his means the
general situation at present authorize such
Many persons resent warmly that he should be
criticised ard interfered with in any manner The
military destinies OF several armies are in his hands,
and in multiplicity of strategic counseors there
is not wisdom, but the reverse"
"Foch will hold until America turns the scale"
is the word that is received from Paris, and the
correspondent tells OF "the growing pres
tige OF the American khaki" among the French,
engendered only by their rapidly increasing
numbers. but by their brilliant fighting qualities.
We in America hardly realize the transformation
that is going in European thought and in Eu-
roPean conditions troops getting into
aStion. The United States is taking on a new
meaning to them. Our first year in the war; with
all its delays more apparent than real, puzzling
and Bit discouraging allies. Now they are
beginning to the future. The American army
is no longer abstraction and hgmcnt of their
hOPes it is tangible and real, and the day is not
lar distant when it will stand an equal footing
numerically, with their own. Surely it is not mere
rhetoric for them to base their hopes OF salvation
iron! the Prussan incubus from the added strength
that will be able give them when we are
iully equipped for the task.
In the meantime Foch must be the corner stone

should reconcile and synchronize our
efforts in both east and west in this
respect.
Our statement on the trade rela-
tions after the great war comes to
an end, are few and far between
these days because one can see but
dimly beyond the veil OF the future.
But IL DR.. Taussig's outlines, though
they lack the convincing qualities Of
absolute definiteness just now. are fol-
lowed out in the main, we are quite
sure our country will suffer no seri-
our blows in the years to come. Where
a national ideal of broadness and hon
esty follows the trail of our CONNER
cialism We need have no fear about
meeting any nation on the ground Of
friendship.
Soma such ideal will find express
sion in Congressional action one of
these days. 1t will mt be in hard
cold legislation, perhaps. but it will
be an expression in terms which the
world can hear and see and which

lieve in with all its heart.

Mooney and thousands of labor organization

been taken from Germany, he said:
This means that England con-
quers land and asserts that she can
govern it better than its lawful
owners, and from this derives the
claim to annex it. Does the British
foreign secretary know nothing of
the decimation of the colored pop

general support.
