Corn Belt Committee Confer.
ence, Attended by Omahans,
Decides on Drastic Ac.
ton for Loans.
Plans Loan Companies

N. B. Updike and F. w. Thomas
returned yesterday from Chicago,
where they attended a conference
between the corn belt advisory conf
mittee of the War Finance corpora
ton, of which Mr.. Updike is mem-
Der, and officials of various western
states, including Governor McKelvie
of Nebraska.
Decision of the conference was
that more energetic steps must be
taken to extend government credit
to farmers and live stock men.
"If financial institutions, such as
local banks or trust companies, re-
fuse or fail to finance the farmer,
or if there be red tap or delay, then
cattle loan companies or similar in
stitutions must be organized to meet
the needs of corn belt farmers and
live stock men," said Mr.. Updike.
Hog Will Save Farmer.
1T is not sufficient merely to fl
nance the farmer to enable him to
hold his grain on the farm, await
ing better prices. These funds
should be advanced to farmerS in
Nebraska and Iowa in substantial
amounts for the purchase OF feeder
cattle and sheep and for fattening
for market of live stock, particularly
hogs"
Mr.. Thomas, chairman of the
local committee, also emphasized the
feeding of hogs as means of re-
lief.
"The hog has pulled the corn belt
out of bad situations before" he said,
and will do it again, if the raising
of hogs can be financed adequately"
Mr.. Updike quoted with approval a
statement made by Governor Nc
Cray OF Indiana, chairman Of the
corn belt committee. Governor Nc
Cray, in announcing meeting Of
Nebraska bankers and farmers at
Omaha December 8 and one of
Iowans at Des Momens December 7,
said: \.
Legislation to Be Sought.
"The War Finance corporation
does not want the country bankers
simply to turn in their present farm
loans and use the government funds
to relieve their own condition. 1t
wants the. bankers to take this
money and make new loans as
quickly as possible. Contrary to the
opinion of some, this can be done
without delay and without much red
tape"
Governor McCray prophesied that
legislation will be sought from con-
gress to finance the purchase of
agricultural products by foreign
countries.
Surplus Must Be Sold.
Joseph Griffin. president of the
Chicago Board Of Trade. told the
conferees Friday that only 20
per cent of the entire corn crop is
shipped to the larger markets and
that surplus production of only 2
per cent is equivalent to a surplus.
Of 10 per cent OF the commercial
corn which reaches the central mar
kets. Carl Vrooman, former assist
ant secretary Of agriculture, de-
clared that this 2 per cent surplus
fixes the price of the other SO per
cent.
General opinion of the conferees
was that the nominal surplus which
is depressing the market should be
removed by the most effective
method, even to the point of ex-
porting and taking securities of
more or less doubtful value in pay
ment for it. Loss on such exported
grain would more than be offset, it
was held, by tne increased value OF
the rest of tie crop.

OF America today for the bodies of four
men, reported missing following a fire
and an explosion at the plant yesterday

the fire had not disclosed any trace of
them.
Thirty employees were burned in the
fire which, after the explosion of a
tank of chemicals, had soon spread
throughout the building. Six Of the in
jured were still in the hospital this
morning while the others were treated
at the scene and sent to their homes.
The bursting Of an electric light globe
over q tank OF chemicals is believed to
have caused the explosion.

German interests and seized by the alien
property custodian during the war. In
1918 the plant was bought by Allan A.
Ryan, and used for the manufacture of
drugs and dis.nfectants.

WORLD BANK NOTE
URGED BY GERMAN
Arendt Says It Is Sole Ex.

By the Associated Press.
BERLIN. December 12.-Belief In an
international bank note as the solo ex-
pedient for solving the prevailing world
financial unrest was expressed today by
DR.. Otto Arendt, prominent German
coinage expert, who was one Of tho
pioneer silver coinage advocates. DR..
Arendt discards as infeasible the Amer
ican plan for the establishment Of an
international bank with giant gold
reserve.
The international bank note, says DR..
Arendt, would not require covering, as
its character as the legalized medium OF
paying would wholly suffice to give 1t
the necessary value. He says the
American suggestion Of an interna tional
bank which would issue notes backed by
gold is infeasible for the simple reason
that either such an institution must be
prepared to redeem its notes in gold, in
which case it soon would be rid of its
yellow metal. or its gold fund would
merely rest in the banks vaults as 4
decorative security, as does the reiclls-
banks reserve.
