Those who accompanied Senator
Capper included Senators Gooding

Tex), and Representatives Haugen

clair (Rep., N. D., and Huddleston

Following the conference with Sec
retary Wallace, the delegation visited

ence with the presidents of the II fed
eral land banks was in progress.
Charles E. Lobdell, head of the farm
loan board, informed the senators and
representatives that the new interme-
diate credit banks would be organized
without delay, and that everything
possible was being done so that the
farmers of the country will get the
full benefit Of the legislation.
Under the new plans it is expected
that the intermediate credit banks
will be in working order before the
beginning of the summer.

Army Air Service Is "Most Critical

new aircraft are so small that within
two years it will have on hand less
than one-half the number Of aircraft
necessary for it's normal peace-time
work
"There will be no aircraft to equip
and expand the air service in time of
emergency, no reserve on hand and it
will be impossible in less than a year
to expand the remnant Of the aircraft
industry which may be left or to Gre
ate it anew so this material can be
manufactured in sufficient quantity
for use in such an emergency.
"The situation is not only serious,
but is actually alarming. AS an eco
nomic measure and likewise in the in
terest Of national preparedness, the
aeronautical industry in this country
should be maintained in such con-
dition that it can supply our peace
time needs and be prepared to expand
adequately to meet a wartime de-
mand."
Mr.. Wainwright said the air service
should be large enough to meet in
stantly "any air force which an enemy
might bring against u.s."
The role which the air service will
play in national defense, he added,
should be thoroughly understood, "and
this component Of the army should be
increased to its proper strength"

Madden on Public Building Program

engaged in the building industry at a
time when employment is most needed
and create a stabilizing influence on
the labor market.
"a building program entered upon
under such conditions would not only
find employment for those directly en-
gagged in the building trades but would
also benefit kindred Industries. It
would aid the railroads by giving them
additional transportation, aid the
mines and give the miners employ
ment. It would enlarge the opportuni
ties for employment in the lumber in
dustry, in the stone quarries, and In
the brick yards, and all industries into
which the building trades ramify and
thus the government in periods Of de-
preston might act as a useful agency
to prevent the unemployment which
periodically exists throughout the
country.
'9The government also might enter
upon more active road building pro-
gram during such periods"
Representative Madden has been CIV
ing the subject of government con-
struction thought for many months.
In general he thinks that omnibus
building legislation should never be
enacted by congress until some re-
sponsible government agency has as
certained all the facts concerning the
necessity for it and only such build
ings should be authorized as a survey
shows to be essential for the trans
action Of the government business.

- OANS Of from $4,000 100000 to

by the War Finance corporation
this year to assist in financing
agriculture, according to Senator Cap
per (Rep., Kan.), head of the senate
farm bloc, who with other members of
the senate and house has held confer
ences with Secretary of Agriculture
Wallace and with members Of the farm
loan board.
The group of agricultural members,
who are taking steps to see that agri-
culture gets sufficient credit while the
machinery established under the new
law is being put into operation, have
also conferred with directors of the
War Finance corporation.
"The farm situation Is more acute
than last year because the co-opera-
tive associations are carrying
heavier burden of debt than a year
ago." Senator Capper said. "We
think the War Finance corporation
should make all the good loans it can
through the cooperative associations.
Most Of the loans made last year have
been paid off, but they were paid off

wartime aeronautical industry facing

Mayhew Wainwright, Republican, of
New York, former assistant secretary
Of war, declares in partial
report to Secretary Weeks on turn
ing over his office to his successor,
Dwight F. Davis. Under the national
defense act, the assistant secretary
Is charged with responsibility for plan
ming industrial mobilization Of the ma
ton for war.
The outstanding conclusion of Mr..
Wainwright's two-year study Of the
industrial situation was a recon-
mendatiOn for a continuing aircraft
appropriation over five years at $25,
100000 a year, $15,000,000 to be for
procurement of reserve planes and
S10000,000 annually for current opera
tons
Referring to the present situation Of
the air service, Mr.. Wainwright said:
"What there is left of 1t is rapidly
disappearing, due to deterioration and
to the losses while in actual use. It's
wartime manufactured equipment has
been practically used up. The

UNTIL the present building
boom in the country has come
to q close the United States
government should not enter
upon a public building construction
program, in the opinion of Represen-
tative Martin B. Madden (Rep., Ill),
chairman Of the house committee on
appropriations. Representative Mad
den has come to this conclusion after
a thorough investigation into the build
ing situation and with a view to the
federal government taking a lead in
arranging its public works in order to
afford employment in periods Of de-
preston.
Pending the end of the present home
building activity the nlionis congress-
man would have an exhaustive survey
Of government building requirements
made throughout the country, and a
program drawn up which, under no
circumstances, should include any
building anywhere not justified by the
business Of the government.

Madden said today, "must be appar-
ent to any one who gives the matter
serious consideration.

WaShingtOn.-A member Of congress
holding representative Office for 20
years and who has just left Capitol
hill to take on a government job OF an
other kind has expressed regret be-
cause Of the increasing number Of cor
ganized lobbyists and the lack of cour-
age among members of congress"
The retiring member also has said:
"The legislator of other days was, l
have been told, besieged by the lobby
lists Of great interests. l never met
them. We all know, however, that the
legislator of today can scarce turn
about without being confronted with
the legislative Representatives Of be-
wildering variety of interests, large
and small"
Observations covering 20 years of
congressional doings stabilize the be-
lief of the writer Of this article that the
lobbyist never is absent from Capitol
hill. Just how it happened that the
retiring representative never happened
to meet any lobbyists Of other days Is
hard to understand, for the lobbyists
of other days were just as much in
evidence as the lobbyists Of present
days.
