The closing down of the McKin-

BILL AUTHORIZING LOANS TO

Senate Adopts Agriculture Committee Substi-
tute For Original Norris Measure Without
Record Vote; Bill Now Sent to House; Rec
clamation Riders Rejected.
tBY THE ASSOCIATED PREss.)

Washington, Aug. 4.--Another
farmers relief measure. the ad-
ministration plan for government
aid in supplying credit for exporta-
ton of agricultural products, was
passed by the senate today and
sent to the house.
The bill was a substitute for the
original Norris bill and provides
for the war finance corporation to
furnish export credits. The Norris
bill, which proposed a new govern
ment credit organization. as laid
aside, and the substitute. in charge
of Senator McNary, republican,
Oregon, for the agriculture COM
mittee, was passed without roll call.
The substitute was drafted by
Secretary Hoover and Director
Meyer of the finance corporation.
1t was adopted virtually intact, the
bill authorizing the war finance
corporation 20 make loans to agri-
culturists' associations, banks and
trust companies. The bill makes
no change in the corporations
cash capital of $500.000,000. but
reduces from three to two billion
dollars the authorized maximum of
bonds it may issue.
Through loans to banks on agri-
cultural collateral it is expected
that the bills influence will be
mostly felt by expansion of credit
available to farmers.
The senate rejected riders of
western senators to extend privi-
leges of the federal farm loan sys-
tenn to entrymen on government
reclamation projects. Assurances
Of future action in a separate bill,
however, were given.

Washington, Aug. 4.-Credlt
policies of the federal reserve sys-
tenn continued under examination
of congressional committee today,
in a continuously stormy atmos-
phere, with Governor Harding Of
the reserve board as witness.
The federal reserve board didn't
create this financial depression"
Governor Harding explained. at
saw 1t coming and got ready to
protect things, the people ought to
be grateful it did. Now all we need
is cessation OF pessimism, which
marks bad times as foolish, optim-
ism marks good times We all
know now everybody was going
crazy in the boom during the fall
of 1919.
This situation is going to work
out. There's no comparison be-
tween the condition a year ago and
conditions today. Take cotton,
with a low yie!d and exports pick
ing up. Banks are fully justified
now in carrying loans.
"All we've got &C. do is to get out
of everlasting pessimism, and quit
saying every hing is going to the
dogs Why, man has to put up
a good cheerful face If he wants
credit. You can't talk to the
banker like you do to the tax as
sessor."
Previously a sharp passage had
taken place in which Representa-
tive Funk, republican, Illinois;
Representative Mills, republican,
New York, and later Governor
Harding participated.
I'm keenly disappointed" Rep
resentative Funk said, "bAcause the
reserve system has been challenged,
complained OF, criticised and
charged on one ground, that It has
Disseminated against agriculture.
And we've not heard one word from
this witness"
Representative Mills leaned to
the fray asserting that the commits
sion had "allowed John Skelton
Williams, former comptroller of the
currency. to make charge after
charge" against the reserve board,
and that Governor Harding was en-
tltied to common justice 'in the
privilege or detailed response.
Mr.. Funk told Mr.. Mills to "han-
die your affairs and I'll handle
mine" while Chairman Anderson
ruled that the governor was within
his rights.
HAS the reserve board called in
farm credits?" Mr.. Funk demand
ed later,
NO, sir, 1t never has," Governor
Harding retorted.
How about the circulars of the
San Francisco reserve bank?" Mr..
Funk continued concerning the
price of wheat in 1920.
Il never heard that before"
Governor Harding said. did it
cause a break in wheat prices?"
ut had some effect" Mr.. Funk
responded.
"The board has cautioned re-
serve banks not to issue circulars"
Governor Ha riding continued. ITS
the Job of the banker to look to
the value OF his collateral, but to
do it in quiet way. It is not the
function of the reserve system to
regulate prices, up or down. but to
maintain credits"
In general, Mr.. Harding said, the
attitude of the reserve board to-
ward agriculture has been greatly
misunderstood and grossly misrep-
resented.

Washington, Aug. 4.--The con-
ference on the packer control bill
was adopted today by the senate,
As to 10. After approval by the
house the bill goes to the presi-
dent.
Under the conference agreement,
the house bill, regarded as much
less drastic than the original Ken
yon- -Kendrick senate measure, vir-
tually stands. Senator Kenyon, re-
publican, Iowa, told the senate to-
day that the senate conferees had
been compelled to yield to the
house on nearly all points.
Six republicans, Senators Bran
degee, Connecticut; Knox, Penn
sylvania; Moses, New Hampshire;
Wadsworth, New York; Warren,
Wyoming, and Watson, Indiana,
voted against the conference re-
port. They were joined by four
democrats-Broussard, louisiana
Fletcher, Florida; Reed, Missouri,
and Stanley, Kentucky.
ut was a question of no legis-
lation at all or accede to the
house." said Senator Kenyon, who
said he was not satisfied with the
final draft, but believed, under the
present secretary Of agriculture
that it would do much good. Sem
ator Norris, republican, Nebraska,
he said, had refused to sign the
conference report.
Important provisions on which
the senate yielded, Senator Kenyon
said, were those for uniform ac-
counting of packers books, pub
licity of packer affairs and power
Of the federal trade commission
to investigate the packers. The
house yielded on senate propo-
sal to authorize the trade commits
sion to make Investigations when
requested by the secretary of agri-
culture.
Senator Fernald, republican,
Maine, referred to charges made
during senate debate by Senator
La Toilette, republican, Wisconsin,
that seven important provisions of
the house bill had been written by
packers attorneys, and asked
whether these had been retained.
Senator Kenyon said most of
them" were left in.
Senator Fernald said the senate
was going a long way in accept
ing such q bill, and he wanted the
country to know the circum-
stances.

France and Italy, 1t is understood,
will join the British government in
prompt acquiescence.
Press dispatches indicating
Great Britain's willingness to
leave to the United States the de-
termination of the subjects to be
discussed were said to be indica-
tive of the spirit of accord mani
tested. The American government
has made it plain that it has felt
that the nature of the agenda
should be outlined In advance of
the conference if possible.
The foreign representatives here
are in consultation with their
home offices and are expected to
continue the interchange of COM
munications with the state de-
partment concerning the subjects

1t is possible that the question
of Yap may be solved before the
conference. 1t is understood the
Japanese ambassador has indi-
Gated to Secretary Hughes that he
is prepared to proceed with the
discussion and intimations have
been made at the state department
that Yap might be eliminated by
prior adjustment.
The difficulty of adjusting the
problem, however. is understood
to rest largely on a difference of
opinion as to the principles in
volved. Japan has contended that
the ALLEGATION of the Yap mandate
is an accomplished fact and there
fore not one for the conference to
consider.
1t is understood that the United
States is inclined to regard the

Washington, Aug. 4.-Congress
was warned today by Secretary
Mellon that it must reduce govern
ment expeditures or increase the
nations tax burden.
Appearing before the house ways
and means committee, he declared
additional cuts of more than $2oo'-
100000 would have to be made IN
the estimated expenditures of $i.-
$50 100000 for this fiscal year If
additional taxes were to be avoided
Under estimates for federal out
lay this year as presented by MI
Mellon S3,S3O,000,000 would have
TO be raised by taxation, whereas
he estimated that the present reye-
nue. law would provide $3.50, ,O00,O0
less than that sum, due largely 10
the shrinkage in the yield from
excess profits and income taxes.
"Without the assurance or SUD-
stantial additional reductions in eX-
penditures," he said, sit would be
folly to proceed to reduce revenue
merely in the hope of reducing ex-
penditures. Even without change
in the law, revenue will shrink from
natural causes, and will shrink, ac-
cording to the present outlook, at
a faster rate than current eXpendi-
lures"
Then he proceeded to show ex-
penditures thus far in this fiscal
year had increased as compared
with year ago. He said ordinary
expenditures for July, the first
month of the fiscal year. were
$322.000,000 as against 1907, ,000,-
900 in July, 1920, leaving current
deficit of 100000 as compared
with a deficit of $76,000,000 in
July year ago. OF the total ex-
penditures last month, S115,000, 900
was for the account of the military
and naval establishments and $32,-
100000 for the skipping board.
Representative Mondell, repub-
lican leader, declared in a state
ment that it was practical in his
opinion "to reduce the tax levy by
at least $500,0O0,000 and still meet
all proper, essential expenses of
the government"
"The excess profits tax and the
higher income surtaXes should be
repealed and nothing substituted
for them" he said. "The so-called
nuisance taxes, and the transporta-
toin tax, in whole or in part, should
he repealed and some simple, easily
understood tax. as for instance, the
proposed per cent flat increase on
corporation taxes, enacted to pro-
vide funds lost by the repeal of
these aforementioned taxes.
Possibly some other form of ad-
ditional tax may be necessary, but
I doubt it. In any event, we should
not, jim my opinion, adopt the stamp
the bank check or other taxes of
that character that have been sug-
