Washington, ID. CA commission
Of two Americans and two Mexicans,
appointed by their respective govern
ments, will meet in Mexico City at an
early date in a friendly attempt to
remove distractions to restoration OF
international intercourse and recog-
milton of the Obregon government by
the United States. The announcement
was contained in formal statement
by Secretary Hughes.
Similar announcement is said to be
ready for issuance in Mexico City
by President Obregon.
The commissioners will be author
lied to discuss only the existing sit
uation and report recommendations to
their home governments for final ac-
nit a plan which could be approved
by their governments, the present
status of American Mexican relations
would be maintained.
The confiscatory policy of President
Obregon's regime, under which prop
erty of vast value and domain was
seized, has stood in the way of recog-
milton. Secretary Hughes, it is be-
lieved, will not insist upon a treaty
such as he proposed in 1921, provided
assurances of protection to American
lives and property of a sufficiently
definite character are furnished in
some other way.

u. s. FARM LOANS TO
Be READY BY MAY |
Treasury Gives 100000 To
Start Credit Banks-More
Money Available

Washington, D. c. The Federal
Farm Loan Board announces that Nav
1 had been fixed as the date for the
formal opening of the IL new interme-
date farm credit banks, all of which
nave been chartered, and will be pre-
pared to consider applications for
loans as provided under the new ag-
ricultural credit law.
A uniform discount rate OF 5h per
cent has been fixed by all of the
banks, guaranteeing to farmers credit
at not exceeding per cent, with the
possibility of slightly lower interest
charges.
With the announcement that the
governments part of the program for
extending new loaning facilities to
the farmer is ready, the problem now
appears to be one Of organization
among those who will seek govern
ment money.
Certain provisions OF the law re-
quire that the producers individually
shall not obtain funds direct from the
banks, but must first group them
selves into one of several kinds of or
ganizations, through which the pro
ducers' obligations may be rediscount.
ed and passed on the credit banks.
Among those organizations are CO.
operative marketing association, live
stock loan companies and agricultural
credit corporations, each with certain
limitations and restrictions upon it's
powers to handle paper for the farm
ers.
The Farm Loan Board is optimistic,
although Commissioner Lobdell said
the development OF the system neces-
sarily would be slow during what he
termed the experimental stage The
commissioner predicted the new ia
cilities would be readily grasped, and
the opportunities presented quickly
accepted by those for whom they
were designed
