pLATT POINTS TO LOSSES

Washington.-Th Federal Reserve
Board. nerve center of the country's
financial structure came out fatty in
favor Of cooperative marketing as the
one best method OF relieving distress
that has gripped agriculture for the
past two years. In its annual report
to Congress. the board said co-opera-
tive marketing offered the best solu-
tlon for the difficulties faced by Amer
lean farmers. and that 1t must be ac-
complished through relaxation Of
present banking laws governing farm
credits.
The board reported that 1t had not
been possible for the Federal Reserve
System to extend the measure OF
credit relief to the farmer that was
needed in circumstances OF acute dis
tress because of the iron-clad restric-
tions Of the Federal Reserve act. The
board urged that Congress do some
thing Immediately to ameliorate the
situation. The board believed the
broad provisions of the Capper bill
would meet the situation, allowing
rediscount Of farmers paper for long
er periods Of time.
Acting Governor Edmund Platt In
formed Congress that the farmer has
suffered the greatest loss OF all classes
in the country's Industrial structure,
and must have more adequate share
Of credit possibilities.
Reviewing the country's progress
Governor Plat placed emphasis upon
the farmers better showing in the last
few months, because, he suggested.
the farmers spending power means
progress all along the line of business
activity. The farm value OF most Of
the important crops was larger than
in the previous year. owing both to
greater yields and higher prices.
But farm prices still are out OF line
with other prices, Plat said, pointing
out that farmers today must pay more
Tor what they buy than any other
group, because the product Of their
labor will buy less in proportion to
that of other classes. The farmers
disadvantage today was thus ex-
planned:
Incompleteness OF agricultural re-
rival as compared with recovery which
has recently taken place in the indus
trial world is partly explained by the
disorganization Of European markets,
since the prices Of agricultural prod
ucts are more dependent on export
demand than prices of other classes Of
commodities"
The board reported that generally
the. financial condition of the country
is sound, and that the banks are ade-
quately prepared to meet every pos.
sible credit demand. despite the ex-
traordinary seasonal requirement for
agricultural and Industrial money

No objection will be raised by the

granted to the city of Baltimore and
that the light and apparatus now main
tained at the fort could be installed IN

The proposition was first discussed,
