France Needs Raw Materials.

Economic disturbances in France
during the period Of readjustment of
wages to high prices were predicted by
Leon Jouhaux, chief labor representa-
tive on the French delegation to the
international labor conference at
Washington. "The lack of raw mate
rails is the only thing that prevents
the French workingman from going
back to his job" said NJ. Jouhaux.
1--WE must have cotton and coal from
the United States, for it will be from
three to five years before the French
coal mines can be operated. Of course,
wages must go up in France on &C
count of the increased cost Of living.
and it is probable that before the
workman gets this increase there will
be more or less economic disturbance"

makes it possible for a farmer to pay
a northumberland debt with thirty
three One-cent payments. And this is
made possible without the compound
ing Of interest, without building and
loan association computations, without
actuarial figures of any kind, but by
plain simple interest at 6 per cent.
You, who are familiar with the amorti-
Zation table, understand how the
farmer pays per cent interest on his
loan and pays a 1 per cent additional
each year for thirty-three years to
wipe out the principal.
Can Pay Principal Any Time.
"Under the farm loan act, the Dor
rover may pay off his loan before the
expiration Of the 33 years, if he
chooses. He is permitted to pay off
any part of his debt on any interest
payment date, after five years, without
previous notice.
II want to get into the record this
plea from the farmers of the West.
want to say that this law in it's pres
ent effectiveness is necessary in order
to keep the farmer on the farm. In
the corn belt, which is the garden spot
of the nation, the population in 1910
was less than in 1880. At the same
time the cities of that corn belt have
increased their population by $50 per
cent. You have got to do something
to keep the farmer on the farm. You
have got to give him some benefits. He
is the only man in this nation who
has had no particular benefit from
the government.
eve are now in the most critical pc
Rod of the worlds history, and if this
law increases production-and it does
it surely should not be interfered
with for the next three or four years."
Tells of High Rates in Montana.
When Senator Gronna asked Mr..
Ramsey = if it was necessary for the
people Of Montana to have a Joint
stock land bank in order to promote
agriculture, Mr.. Ramsey replied:
'Tt is absolutely necessary in order
to get money at 6 per cent I want to
say to you that the mortgage COM
panies in our state have no rate less
than 8 per cent and that they are get
ting s, 9 and 10 per cent. We have
iled exhibits with your committee
showing that the mortgage houses are
getting 10 per cent, and that some

RELIEF FROM HIGH INTEREST
Give Montana Farmers Six Per

"For the first time in their lives
farmers can now feel comfortable
when they put mortgage on their

George L. Ramsey, president of the
Montana Joint Stock Land bank at
Helena, Mont, made this statement
when he appeared before the senate
committee on banking and currency to
protest against the Smoot bill, which
would put tax upon farm mortgage
bonds issued by joint stock land banks.
He said in part:
How Long, Time Loans Are Paid.
81 have had farmers say to me, This
is the first time have felt comfortable
in my life when the papers were
signed and the money turned over. The
reason for this statement was that
heretofore they had looked forward to
a ive-year renewal of their mortgage
subject to the favor Of a mortgage
broker and subject also to the pay
ment of a commission. They have
said to me: To-day I have my loan
placed for 33 years and now I can see
plainly that shall be able to pay this
