ness could be handled until the su-
preme court had passed on the val
idity of the farm loan act.
Despite the fact that the II land
banks have borrowed approximate
ly SIC, 900 from private banks 10
loan 10 farmers, more than $50
600. 900 in applications for loans
have accumulated. In going into
the open market for funds the bank

interest. the government rate be-
ing five and one-haf percent and
the private rate six percent. To Off
set this loss, however, the net in
come of the IL banks has averaged
$4,000 monthly since the first of
the year. The banks also have as
sets Of 100000 on which no liens
have been placed and commissioner

McADOO SAYS
HE WILL not
BE CANDIDATE
Addresses Letter of Thanks
10 Metal Trades Council
of Brook yn.

By Associated Press:
NEW YORK, May "A letter
from William G. McAdoo asserting
that while he was not interested in
the political fortunes OF any man,
least OF all himself, the welfare of
the American people alone should
determine the choice of the next
president, was made Tuesday night
by John Murray. secretary of the
metal trades council of Brooklyn.
Mr.. McAdOo's letter was written
in reply to a communication from
Mr.. Murray enclosing a resolution
adopted recently by the council en-
dorsing the former secretary Of the
t-r1>ury for president and express
ing faith that il elected he would
give a square deal to every one and
harmonic every element Of the
people into a united body.
Thanks Council.
After thanking the council for
its endorsement, Mr.. McAdoO as-
serted the next administration faced
tasks demanding the highest or
der OF craftsmanship; the finest
qualities of American patriotism and
character; the noblest conceptions
OF Christian duty and a just regard
for the rights of humanity at home
and abroad.
I'VE must adopt a rational policy
with respect TO our material re-
sources and develop which will pre-
serve the welfare and prosperity OF
our own people" he said, while at
the same time giving TO the suffer
ing peoples OF other countries OF
all the help, moral and material.
which we, as a generous high mind
ed and Christian people. should con-
tribute to the restoration of peace
and the protection of humanity a.
gainst the recurrence and horrors
OF war.
Practical Vision.
These great objects cannot be
attained without practical vision
broad humanity. We must try TO
find the man, whatever his name
may be. who can most nearly meas
ure to these exacting requirements.
Il doubt most seriously that
possess the qualifications required
to meet the eXacting requirements
OF the present situation notwith-
standing your generous endorse
ment"
Mr.. McAdoo closed by urging all
organizations Of labor to assert
energetically, intelligent
" and unitedly against the reestab-
lishment OF reaction and in favor Of
those progressive. humane and
powerful forces which truly express
the interest Of the masses of the
people"
