creasing the demand for American
agricultural products, thereby
Strengthening the farming industry.
In making this recommendation
Governor McKelvie said he did not
favor cancellation of foreign debts
by the United States nor did he be-
lleVe it would be wise for this coun-
try to make further loans without
power to restrict tn use of such grant
Of credit.
Before granting additional credit
20 foreign nations, the governor ex-
planned, the United States should |
lrst ascertain whether the applicant |
lad reduced its armed force to
ound peace basis. He urged paw

Agricultural prosperity, he said. is

would do more to cure the
