During the last year advances
made by the corporation have been
principally to aid in financing ex-
ports
Inc corporation, it was said, had
made every effort to liquidate its OUT
standing cattle loans without en-.
failing undue hardship upon borrow,
ers. AT the beginning Of the year

ing was S145s,244, which was re-
duced thru repayments to $7s3.0ss.

these products. but unable to pur@
chase because of existing financial
conditions.
The resolution recites that banks
have been unable to attend credit so
farmers may hold their products nn%
til they can be sold in a fair and
reasonable market
Then followed the directions:
The secretary of the treasury and
the members of the war finance corr
poration are hereby directed to revivo
the activities of the war finance cori
poration and that said corporation bn
at once rehabilitated with the view
of assisting in the financing OF the
expectation Of agricultural products
to foreign markets.
The federal reserve board is herex
by directed to take such action an
may be necessary to permit the meme
Der banks of the federal reserve sys.
tenn, in accordance with law and conS
sistent with sound banking, to grant
liberal extension of credit to the
farmers of the country upon the se-
curity of the agricultural products
now held by them by permitting the
rediscounting of such notes of extena
sion, at the lowest possible rates Of
interest"
