MILLION TO BE SPENT BY
 J. s. TO ADVERTISE SHIPS Shipping Board Aims To Keep Flag Of Merchant Marine On Seven Seas

Washington, Feb. 20-America will spend approximately s1,O00,0OO in the next fiscal year to advertise its mer- chant marine in every part of the globe.
 This enormous sum is contained in the appropriation asked for the United States Shipping Board, which has been acclaimed in Congress as the largest business in the world"
 The Shipping Board, under plans submitted to Congress for appr oval, intends to establish the American merchant flag on every sea in passen- ger as well as freight service. At this moment 440 Shipping Board ves- sels, flying the American merchant pennants, from their mastheads, are plying every sea on the globe. Most of them carry only freight at this time.
 There are eighty-seven trade lines maintained by the Government in open comp etition with the greatest marine lines of other nations. The Shipping Boards activities, it was stated in Congress, are far and away larger than those of any competing line or nation. Even England is sur marine is concerned. There is question, too, whether the Shipping Boards fleet might not favoraib1y com pete with all lines flying the British Union Jack.
 The trade lines now maintained carry American ''bottoms' from New York, Baltimore or Philadelphia to Saloniki, Constantinople, Genoa, Ma

 Where Lines Operate
 Some of these lines also touch Gal weston, Boston, Norfolk and Newtp ort News, Va.
 Besides the transatlantic routes, there are a dozen Atlantic coastwise lines running between the ports of New Orleans, Galveston, Gu1fport and Pensacola to Brazil and Platte River points. In addition, there are mum err ous short lines between North Allan tic and Gulf Coast ports.
 On the West coast the American flag sails from San Francisco, Los Angeles, Puget Sound ports and Co., lun1bia River cities to the Orient, the South Pacific and to hundreds of isl- and ports scattered across the broad bosom of the Pacific. Some of the terminal portts are Honolulu, Yoko- hama, Kobe, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Ma nEIa, Darien and South American points.

 Washington, Feb. 20-A bitter fight against alleged "high-handed and domineering" methods of the Feder- al Farm Loan Board has been start ed in the Supreme Court of the Dis trict of Columbia by the National Union of Farm Loan Associations.
 That the Farm Loan Board is try ing to exercise political control over farm loan banks and is refusing its members the right to vote is the sentatives of the National Union of Farm Loan Associations.
 Senator Fletcher (D0. of Florida, is one of the leaders in the court citations seek to compel the Farm Loan Board to call elections in each Federal land bank.
 Under the original Farm Loan act six of the nine directors in each Federal land bank were to be elect ed by stockholders. and the remain ing three were to be appointed by members of the Farm Loan Board.
 Joker Found In Law
 The National Union of Farm Loan Ass ociations, represented in Wash ington by W. w. Flanagan, nation al secretary of the advisory commit tee, charged that because of . 'tjo- ker" slipped into a bill passed in continuing the temporary organiza- ton" of all farm loan banks, farm loan associations were deprived of the right to vote, as provided for in the original act.
 The bill referred to authorized the Secretary of the Treasury to buy S200, 0,000,000 worth of bonds of Fed eral land banks and provided that so long as the Treasury holds such bonds the temp orary organizations of the farm loan banks should continue in power.
 Representatives of the Farm Loan Associations charge that this will have the effect of depriving farm

 New York, Feb. 20-Figures fur nished by the Chemical National Bank show that the purchasing power of the farmer is a Fundamental factor in the business situation in the United States. The agricultural West and South are more important than all of the urban consumption centres com bined, the statistics show.
