Washington, ID. c., Sept. IS
The general business and credit situa-
tion has been buoyed up by the Govern
ment's plans for financing agriculture
and its programme to bring financial
relief to the railroads and in turn to
other Industries. directly and indirectly.
now under way. according to reports
which reached the Federal Reserve
Board and the Treasury Department to-
day.
Latest reports from reserve bank CEN
res throughout the United States re-
fiected a more hopeful attitude by the
business world In their plans Cor future
operations. The officials of the Reserve
Board noted the favorable results which
have come from the new financing au-
thorized by the Congress for the War
Finance Corporation.
The War Finance Corporation an
nounced tonight completion of its pro-
gramrne to extend Government loans TO
stimulate domestic agricultural opera
tions. The corporation said that local
agricultural loan agencies and boards
in centres Of agricultural industry i'm
mediately would organize for the con-
sideration OF the applications under the
agricultural agreements amendment OF
the War Finance Corporation act.
Officials of the corporation announced
that its plans to act on applications for
loans which may be recommended by
the various loan agencies to the COR
poration's directors were complete.
Treasury Department officials ex-
pressed the opinion that the authority
given the corporation by the Congress
would stimulate credit extensions In
many different lines outside OF the agri-
cultural industry.
Broadening OF credit limits, officials
said. already had had noticeable effect
in all parts of the country In removing
some brakes on industry and producing
a more confident feeling among business
men in planning future operations for
business expansion. Continued liquida-
tion in bank loans Is noted by officials.
1t is attributed to the steady movement
of harvested products from the farm
regions to markets and to increased buy
ing power which has been shown in the
last thirty day period in several manu-
featuring lines.

MEXICO NOT HOPEFUL
OF EARLY RECOGNITION
Lomont's Visit Deemed Step
in That Direction.

MEXICO CRY, Sept. 16.-The one hund-
rcdth anniversary OF the proclamation
Of Mexico's independence was ushered
In at midnight by the ringing by Presi-
dent Obregon of the historic bell of
Hidalgo and reading the Independence
Proclamation. President Obregon de-
posted wreaths in the cathedral on the
urns containing the ashes OF the ma
tional heroes.
The optimism OF several weeks over
the possibilities for recognition OF the
Government by the United States now
is not so prevalent. and President Obre-
CONS failure to announce recognition
to-day as a birthday surprise for the
nation passed unnoticed by the news
papers.
The visit of Thomas w. Lamont OF
New York to arrange for the payment
of Mexican bonds now in default Is re-
garded here as a highly important step
in the right direction.
The American colony will present u

FAMINE RELIEF NOW

Enough American Food in
Russia for Few Weeks, but
Transport Lags.
LITTLE LOSS IN TRANSIT
Esthonian and Latyian Sup

LITTLE LOSS IN TRANSIT
Bu the Associated Press.

RIGA, Sept. 16.-The unexpected de-
lays inside Russia 10 American relief
administration shipments, while the suf-
fering in the famine district is increas-
ing, have brought more vividly into view
tho difficult transport problems. The
first complete food shipment destined
for the Volga region required three
weeks for an ordinary FIVE day trip.
With tho Volga region soon to be cut
off from river transportation by the
November freeze, the problem Of saving
the starving has become increasingly a
race with winter.
Sufficient food Is now In Russia for
a few weeks work of supply by tho
relief administration, but unless cars ar
rive here more rapidly and move away
faster the situation threatens to be-
come serious.
According to reports from the in
terror of Russia, tho Soviet central Off
cias are aiding to their utmost, but
their seeming lack of control in the
provinces and the general inefflciency
at transfer points causes delay.
Accurate reports of rumored pilfering
from the first American food shipments
to Petrograd indicate the cargo loss was
less than one-seventh Of one per cent.
This is considered unimportant. but the
Soviet guards, though willing. seemed
powerless to prevent the hungry steve
dores from filling their pockets and
blouses with flour and rice. which they
snatched from bags, Notwithstanding the
protest of the relief administration men.
Esthonian and Latvian relief ship
ments are reported from Baltic sources
TO have met with worse luck. An
Esthonian food train destined for Petro-
grad is reported to have been sent to
Archangel for the Red army. while

its journey. Is declared to have been
