McNary Tells
His Stand On
Land Loan Bill

Washington, Aug. 27.-The sem
ate committee on reclamation ex-'
poets within two weeks to have a
bill ready for consideration of the
secretary Of the interior and the
farm loan board whereby loans
may be made through the farm
loan system on Iands in reclama-
tion projects.
This is the announcement of
Senator McNary, chairman of the
committee, who urged the senate
not to try to legislate on this sub
ject in connection with the farm
credit bill, of which he had
charge in the senate. Senator
Pittman Of Nevada had offered an
amendment to authorize loans sub
ject to government liens on recla-
nation projects, Notwithstanding
the provision Of the farm loan act
that only first mortgages shall be
taken for such loans.
Senator McNary said he hoped
senator's from western states
would not be discouraged over his
inability to accept the Pittman
amendment, which he declared
had not been sufficiently consid
cred. The subject should be taken
up independently, he said. and not
made a rider on the agricultural
credit bill, for experience has
taught him that "the poorest leg
islation we get anywhere is that
which is written on the floor OF
the senate or house,
Senator Pittman urged that his
amendment would not compel
loans to be made on reclamation
Hands, but would remove restric-
tions which prevent loans being
lmade, and that no danger would
be incurred in permitting the farm
loan bank directors to use theil
discretion In any case where they
4 deemed the security sufficient II
the case of patented lands.
McNary expressed doubts about
the practicability of the plan and
foresaw legal difficulties. He said
it would involve delay to the farm
credit bill il this were made par
Of it, and that 1t SHOULD be left fol
consideration in a separate bill.
Senator Ashurst of Arizona
who had proposed an amendmen
similar to the Pittman proposal
Tsaid he was content to accept thu
assurance of McNary that the re
clamation committee will take III
the subject. The Pittman amend
ment was rejected without rol
call.
