The phrase confidence man." the
name for men who live by their wits
at the expense Of other peoples gull

acter in the New York Of 80 years ago
He was a well-groomed and gentle
manly looking rogue, we are told, who
would frequent the drinking houses
and other places where men would
congregate, strike up an acquaintance
with prosperous stranger and after
a short while remark: Have you
sufficient confidence in me, sir, to lend
me 50 until tomorrow Nobody ever
heard Of anyone who recovered his
five spot. And soon this unique crooks

where he was called 'the confidence

RELIEF AHEAD FOR
SOUTHERN FARMERS

The War Department Finance Cor
poration in Washington issued a call
Tuesday night for conference in
that city on April 4 of southern
bankers to discuss methods by
which the expectation of southern
agricultural products may be best fl
nanced Announcement of the con-
terence followed discussion of the
farmers problems by the cabinet, af-
ter which it was said definite plans
for farmer relief probably soon
would be put forward.
Announcement of the conference
was confined to the bare statement
of the call and date. In the light OF
the days developments, however, it
was regarded as the first step by the
new administration looking to a So
luton Of the farmers difficulties.
Several other such meetings are
planned, it was stated. Secretary
Hoover expects soon to meet with
representatives Of the agriculture in
dustry to talk over with them the
problems which beset their industry.
Leaders Of several farmers organi-
zatlons also are preparing to carry
their kit of problems to the White
House in the near future, probably
before Congress gets far into the
rr0~E Of the extra session.
Officials of the finance corpora
ton desire, it was said, to explain to
the southern bankers, on whose
Gh'ulders fall the burden of provid-
ing funds for the export of cotton and
other products of the soil, just how
far the federal agency can 60 in sup
plying the money they seek. In this
connection it was deemed likely that
the treasury"s position with respect
to exports to Germany also would be
made clear,
While there was no official express
sion given out, it was apparently the
~ropram of those officials having to
do directly with the farming indus
try to spread conferences over seve-
raj months, in which time represen-
tatives from the various sections of
the country NAV be called to Wash
ington to see what can be done for
them. Finance corporation officials
have said several times that the vest
ern and middle western farmers must
be given consideration soon. 1t APP
parently was the concensus of opinion
in the cabinet discussion, however,
that the cotton interests should be
the first to receive attention.
The meetings which Mr.. Hoover
will call, it was said, will be entirely
informal and will seek to develop a
programme of cooperation within
practical limits for the disposition Of
crops. Some officials are said to fear
that unless the farmers can be given
assurance Of friendliness on the
part of the government in the mark
citing of their products there will be
reductions in the acreage Of all crops.
1t was indicated that first=hand in
formation obtained in conferences
such as those proposed by Mr.
Hoover might suggest new methods
for domestic handlino and exporta-
ton Of all agricultural products.
