il was urged and generally believed
that the man who tills the soil would
derive some benefit.
tThis was the process" he said, "A
was the small town banker who had
loaned money direct to the farmer. B
was the city banker who took the far
mer's paper from the little banker.
When the bottom fell out Of farm
prices, farmers were going bankrupt
and the federal reserve board under
Governor Harding refused to make
more loans, it looked for while as #
the village banker and the city banker
would both suffer along with the far
mer who could not pay.

decided that the war finance corpora
ton should step in and save the day.
But no money went direct TO the far
mer. The city bankG, B. said to the
little banker, You owe us $4,000
and you got to pay The little banker
asked how he should pay. Very
simple explained the big banker. You
have some securities; turn them over
10 the war finance corporation, and on
our recommendation the war finance
cooperation will advance you $40,0OO,
if you promise to use that money to re-
pay us.

clair announced, the war finance
corporation gave the little banker loans
of $60.000.000 on condition that they
would use it to pay their debts to the
big city bankers. The farmer got
none Of it; he owes more today than
he ever owed. All that happened was
that the U. S. government now holds
