graduating the defendants and telling

BANKS MULCT FARMERS,
WILLIAMS INSISTS
Says Member Banks Have De-
manded 200 Per Cent CoIIat-
eraI for Farm Loans.

By Associated Press TO Every Evening.
Washington, August 3.-John Ske,-
ton Williams. former comptroller of
the currency, resumed today his
criticism before the Congressional
agricultural commission OF alleged
credit discrimination against farming
interests by the Federal Reserve sys-
tenn. In clash with Representative
Mills, Republican. New York, Mr.. VIII
lians said he stood by his charges
that in specific instances reserve
banks required member hanks to put
up 200 and 500 per cent collateral in
farm paper before lending.
DO you know that?" Mr. Mills de-
manded. Give us an instance"
Go to the Reserve Board" Mr.. Will
liams retorted. They have the rec
ords."
Later the witness agreed to fur
nish details of one southwestern bank
case where he said a law suit against
a reserve bank was being matured by
member bank officials.
As a Reserve Board member, Mr..
Williams said. he had fought in
creased interest rates and ''progres-
siye" interest rates. which made a
bank pay higher interest on re-dis-
counts as its total of borrowing in
creased.
tOne cotton bank was charged
thirtey-one per cent he said, and
when its borrowings increased, dur
ing the cotton moving period, the rate
went as high as 81 per cent. The
practical result was that this little
bank was forced TO choose between
letting its customers face ruin or pay
ing ruinous rates"
