Preus now is expected to order the

Hawkins slapped his reins on the
roof of the cab. The horse started
slowly forward.
The drizzle had ceased; but the
horse. left to his own initiative, was
still wary OF the wet pavements and

walk. Hawkins drove with his coat
collar still turned UP and his chin on
his breast.
And horse and man went aimlessly
from street to Street-and the night
grew late.
And the cabman's hand reached
tentatively, hesitantly, a great many

The horse, as if conscious of the

stopped. and, with head hanging,
seemed to cover down as though
seeking even the slender protection
of the shafts. whose ends now made
half circles above his ears.
Something slipped from the cab
mans fingers and fell with 4 crash
to the pavement. The cabman leaned
out from his perch and stared down
at the shattered glass.

cantly.

WESTERN FARMERS
SUFFERING FROM
LOW GRAIN PRICES
Congress RuShes Through
Farm Credit Measure
as Relief,
BY DIR. lewis IT: IIANEY


Director Bureau Business Research.
New York University. Wntten Tor
United Financially
NEW YORK, March 5.-Western
farmers are suffering from relatively
low grain prices. and Congress is now
rushing through a farm credit meas
ure. Is the -Capper credit bill
good or bad? In either case will it
meet the needs Of the farmer? The
final passage OF the new farm credits
bin now seems assured. Much dis
pute has Centered IN this measure and
a brief appraisal Of It IS In point:
We can all agree that the object
sought IS highly desirable. Students
OF the subject have long known that
we do not have adequate provision for
financing farm operations, and especi-
ally the growing and marketing OF
crops. The war strain brought this
fact out in an acute way and the war
finance corporation was created to I'LL
the gap. As bad effects Of war have
fingered that corporation has been
continued.
But the existence Of q need does not
Justify the use Of a bad remedy, and
the secretary OF the treasury and otn-
ers have criticised some parts Of new
bill that it viii do more harm than
good. The bill creates twelve credit
banks to lend on farm paper Of from
nine months to three years maturity.
These loans are Of intermediate length
and the new banks are therefore called
intermediate credit banks" They are
10 be under the same management as
the farm loan board and have a com
bined capital Of 100000 600. As this
is a much larger sum than the war
finance corporation ever advanced, Il
IS considered ample.
The sum loaned must be raised
chiefly by the issuance Of notes and
debentures. secured by the farmers
paper.
The chief criticism is that no
adequate precautions are provided
against accepting farm paper which
is not well secured and sufficientlr
LIQUID. Apparently. we End tho
hanks which have little capital aid
which make unsecured loans 10 their
members. and rural credit corpora
lions which are not subject to regular
inspection Of rules requiring cash re
serves and liquid capital, can come IN
and have their paper redlscounted.
This IS bad, for the only safe basis
In banking g 10 have strict general
rules. which can he uniformly en-
forced TO insure solvency.
Several difficulties also exist, due
to the attempt to combine this scheme
for granting medium short term
credits with the farm loan board OBJ
lection which deals with long term
land loans. Can two different Jobs be
handled well by the same organiza-
tIon7
Finally. the question arises what
viii happen in times Of credit strain,
when the farmer needs assistance
most? Could the new credit banks
then sell their notes, based as they
are on uncertain security II they
couldn't or II they could only do so
Mt high interest rates. the whole
scheme would fail In good times
the new bin leaves It possible to
lssue too much credit or too easy
credit
