dustrial future, the British press
nevertheless views with skepticism
the Challenge" of the miners ex-
ecutives who declare they will enlist
every trades union in the country
now disputing a wage scale, in a
general strike.
A majority of the London news
papers predict that such an attempt
Is doomed at the outset to utter fail
ure, and back this up with declara-
tions that many miners will ignore
their executives, returning to work
at the earliest possible moment in
defiance OF their chiefs. The Daily
Herald, however, Official organ of
the union men. insists that asser-
tions suchsas these are, "as usual,
lies hawked about by the press"
The Herald declares that the rank

REP. BLACK FAVORS
CREDIT EXTENSION
IN FARM PROBLEM
Declares Discount Market
Would Help Producers
Out of Difficulties.

solution of the farm finance prob
lem lies In the Standardization Of
paper for agricultural production
and establishment Of discount mar
ket for the same. Representative
Eugene Black. of Texas. declared
today.
While praising plans OF Secretary
of the Treasury Mellon to assist
livestock producers through creation
Of a pool OF s5o.ooo.ooo by agreement
OF Eastern and Western bankers,
representative Black maintains the
McFadden-K Kenyon rural credit and
multiple insurance bill best meets
the provisions outlined above.
Present DineuIties of Producers.
IT have naturally been following
these Efforts Of Mr.. Mellon with a
great deal of interest because Texas
is the greatest producer of livestock
of any State in the Union and be-
cause I understand some Of the tre-
mendous difficulties with which these
producers are struggling at the pres
ent time. Mr.. Melons efforts and
those of the bankers associated with
him are TO be warmly commended
and / hope they will be completely
successful.
The whole situation, however.
presents a very graphic illustration
of the need OF some permanent
credit facility by which production
requiring longer term OF credit
than deposit banks can furnish may
be financed. Banks which carry
commercial deposits payable on de-
mand and use them as basis for
extending credit must, by force OF
sheer necessity, keep their loans
reasonably liquid, because when
the depositor calls fer his money
the cash must always be on hand
to pay him.
Must Keep Assets Liquid.
The Federal Reserve system is
part OF the deposit banking sys-
tenn, and must therefore observe
somewhat the same rule OF keeping
its assets liquid. as deposit banks
are compelled to observe. Hence,
under existing Jaw, paper rendered
Federal Reserve banks for redis-
count must mature within at most
ninety days, except certain agri-
cultural paper which may have a
maturity of as long as six months.
There are some who have hast
lily argued that the way to solve
this problem Of satisfying the need
for longer term productive credits
is TO lengthen the term of the ma
TURTLES Of some classes of eligible
paper to a period of one and two
years. But when IL is remembered
that the principal purpos. Of the
FEDERAL Reserve system is to be
able at all times to respond to
the emergency needs of the coun-
Try we realize that an abundance
OF precaution must be used to avoid
tne danger OF tieing up it's re-
sources in frozen assets"
