The prompt selection of Henry NJ.
Dawes, of Chicago, to be comptroller
OF the currency, which was announced
last night. although it had not been
expected for several weeks, was in
terpreted by some Of those close to
the President to be an indication OF
his desire that the government render
all possible aid to the farmers and
livestock men.
As comptroller of the currency, Mr..
Dawes. who is a brother of Charles
G.. Dawes, q former comptroller and

institutions can begin to function, the

tinue to make agricultural and live

corporation. The corporation has
made advances for agricultural and
livestock purposes, through banking
and financial institutions, livestock
loan companies, and cooperative mar
keting associations, and it will con-
tinue to do SO until the end Of March,
1924, on the same basis as heretofore.
To Observe Safeguards.
"Since August, 1921, nearly S2S1,-
000, 900 has been distributed upon ade-
quate security, and nearly S156.0OO,-
900 has been repaid, leaving S125,-
100000 outstanding about ten days
ago. Heavy payments are being made
daily. We do not anticipate many
new applications for funds. But
whatever the interests of the agricul-
tural and livestock classes, it will be
the purpose of the board to make ad-
vances under the usual safeguards.
1T is not intended, however, that
the advances will be made to country
banks merely for the purpose of re-
paying city correspondents unless it
can be shown that the welfare of
agriculture is involved.
Conditions in both the cotton and
livestock industries in the South and
New Mexico have shown great i'm
provement since the War Finance
Corporation began to operate, as in
Dictated by the fact that nearly 60
per cent of the total advances OF
nearly S90,00O,000 made in that sec
ton have been repaid. and this is
about the average throughout the
United States.
