sentlal IN the economic readjustment
OF thlngs, TO the end that the United

turning to the problem confronting
the livestock industry, Mr.. Meyer said
that cattlemen never before have
been properly financed as to the dur
alton of loans. But they will be
provided for in the future" he as
serted.
Sentiment Of the United states
favors proper financial support of
agricultural activities for economic
and social reasons" Mr.. Meyer de-
clared. How this support should
be given Is a detail not finally de-
termined upon, but the congress and
the President are favorable to ade-
quate financing" he continued.
IL Is my hope that we may con-
tinue to function smoothly and salts
ractorily to the people we serve. Our

here In the West
Luncheon at Country Club
The Salt River valley and the city
Of Phoenix were a revelation; that
he and his party had enjoyed the
sunshine and the hospitality of this
district tremendously: that the res
toration of confidence was the prime
motive back Of the loaning OF money
on agricultural products. and that
the cooperative marketing associa-
tions had been of great help in aiding
the war finance corporation in doing
their work of restoring confidence
and stabilizing the prices of farm
commodities-these were among the
high points of the speech of Eugene
Meyer, Jr., at the luncheon rendered
yesterday in his honor at the Phoe-
nix Country club.
Sixty-one persons sat down to the
luncheon, which was given by the
Phoenix Clearing House and the Ari-
zona Pimacotton Grower association.
Representatives OF the various inter-
ests that have worked together 30
faithfully to bring about better con-
ditions were present.
Il can say without prejudice to the
other points we have visited in our
somewhat extensive trip" said Mr..
Meyer, that our party has enjoyed
our visit here. Your valley and city

Phoenix for nine years, and we have

mo people, and no community
should be left helpless through re-
verses that were no fault of their
own" continued Meyer. THE War
Finance Corporation stood ready to
loan whatever amount on agricultural
commodities and livestock that might
be necessary to restore confidence,
and to provide for the orderly mark
citing of the farmers products. but
we had to have help, had to have
mechanics for the handling OF the
loans
THE whole agricultural industry is
on the upgrade. In my opinion. the

ity between the vale OF what the
farmer had to sell and what he had
to tuy, a disparity that he was not
responsible for. and which he could
not control.
Fortunately, this disparity has,
in many agricultural products. been
largely removed. Corn. cotton, wheat,
cattle. hogs, and many other pro-
ducts have advanced in price, mark
cts have become stronger. confidence
has been restored. and the crisis fac
ing us a few months ago successfully
passed into history without a great
disaster. The damage has not all
been repaired, but ! feel that we are
well out of it and on the way to sound
business conditions"
Representatives of the banks, Farm
Bureau, Cattle Growers association,
the state. the Arizona Industrial
Congress-, the chamber OF commerce
and the Arizona Pimacotton grow
ers were present at the luncheon.
