FARMERS AND BANKS

Governor Harding of the Federal Reserve Bank makes
long statement regarding the relations of the banks to
the farmers that something be done for their
special relief He makes clear that the banks sup
ply all the banking accommodation necessary and that
the Federal eserve disposed cooperate with
all Federal Reserve Banks and through them with all
member and non-member banks. His explicit words are
There ground for apprehension regarding the ab
iy banks the requirements of both agrcu
ture and industry The board feels that the financial
emergency which menaced the country during year
1920 has definitely passed. The question, therefore, is
not what be done but what should be DONE The needs
farmers freely conceded But there Others No
less than 17O industrial corporations have passed their
dividends Another 100 have reduced dividends The steel
industry the lowest point of production in comparison
with capacity known The entire railway industry is
embarrassed The farmers not alone in their trouble
It is Governor Harding's opinion that the farmers
should be helped but by the War Finance Corporation All
other interests asking less of the banks, having q
Undated than billion of loans within year. But
these banks carrying than twice as much
agricultural and live stock they had year
ago. Still "the banks of the country urged
mind the needs of the live stock industry and
as liberal accommodation circumstances will permit"
1t impossible to convince the farmers that they
not Disseminated against Yet the shows that
IRENE liberay of credit caused the prices from which
the fall the farmers losses. There billions
of unused credit in the mounting reserves If all were
given to the farmers the result would be increase
would inherit the distress of the farmers and that gen.
eral collapse would follow.
Argument is wasted all quarreIs With prices Ac-a
on what economic deadlocks call for Federal
Reserve tells what thinks should be done for the farm
The law should engthen the rediscount
to one or two years AS producers the should
have all the accommodation they need since the larger
the next the greater the depression of the unsod
old crops Their complaint that they unable to
their to market is unfounded. When there was
little bulge in the markets last week there was great
movement to market to take profits.
Governor Harding distinguishes between farmers ana
cattle raisers Both long credits for their trade
period is long That is particularly true of cattle raiser
and the Federal Reserve Board agents of the War FL
nance Corporation rather than banks of discount will
make advances for three years if the Treasury will pro-
vide the funds for the War Finance Corporation This JUS
titles the inquiry when the War Finance Corporation was
asking to be revived how could assist when was help
less unless itself assisted It's activities been limited
to what the Treasury helped it to do now there is
requston for $5OOOOOOO more. If this is granted it will
