Help for the Farmers.

'INHE Senate, without record vote, OH
1 Monday passed the joint resolution di
recting revival OF the War Finance Cor
poration rs n measure OF relief for farm
ers against falling prices. attor concurring
in the House amendments eliminating the
section suggesting that the Federal Re
serve Board extend liberal credit TO farm
ers The House is usually the more radical
of the two bodies in supporting legislation
which unnecessarily nterfcres with the con
duct OF the countrys business. but. to its
credit, it recognized the folly of this sec
ton and administered n proper rcbuke 10
the Senate by striking it out before return
ing the resolution to that chamber for
final disposition.
Even had the section not been stricken
out it would have been ignored by the
Federal Reserve Board, as above every
thing else that body exists to see to il that
the country's banking system is conducted
on sound business principles, and If the
board were made the subservient tool OF
politics voiced through Congress and re-
quired to violate the principles OF sound
banking at its bchcs;. It can be readily
imagined that the financial security of the
country which it was created to conserve
would speedily be headed toward disaster

the Federal Reserve Board NAV or NAV not
have placed too great restrictions upon
credit with the result that the burden OF
detiation has borne too heavily on the
shoulders of the farmers. but certainly the
board has used its discretion in the light
or its best Judgment, without Interior mo-
tive, and Congress has yet to demonstrate
that II knows more about sound principles
OF banking and thGir: administration under
written law than. tho successful fnanciers
who have been intruSted with the policies
by which the financial safety Of the country
is TO be maintained
The measure now goes to the presiden,

mated, he will arix his signature to it,
