senate late Monday passed the
agriculture committee resolu-
ton directing revival Of the war
finance corporation as meas
ure of affording relief to farm
ers.
The second section of the reso-
luton, which as introduced,

amended to make the desirablllty
of such a course only an express
sion of opinion of the congress.

The amendment making the change in
the section of the resolution relating
to the federal reserve system was pro-
posed by Senator Norris, Republican,

tion broadened the duties Of the finance
corporation to include the financing OF
expectation of products other than those
produced on the farm. Amendments to

OF similar farmer relief measures are
pending.

tated with the view of assisting i'll the
financing of the expectation of agricul-
tura and other products TO foreign

ut is the opinion of congress that the
federal reserve board should take such
action as may be necessary to permit
member banks of the federal reserve
system to grant liberal extensions of
credit to the farmers upon the security
of the agricultural products now held by
them, by permitting the rediscounting of
such notes Of extension at fair and
reasonable rate of interest"
