FARM LOAN PLAN
ATTACKED DUE TO-.
SCANT PUBLICITY
Former Federal Trade Com
missioner Declares Stock
holders Kept in Dark.

Bu Quilted Press
NEW YORK, March 25-"Farm
ers who own fifty-five millions OF
stock in the twelve land banks OF
the Federal Farm Loan System are
worse off than stockholders in any
other reputable enterprise in the
United States" charges Huston
Thompson, former member of the
Federal Trade Commission.
Thompson based his statement on
the assertion that the 100000 farmer
stockholders in the land banks re-
ceive no annual reporC without soil
citation and that the only report
furnished under any circumstances
is the one addressed to Congress
Jumping the assets and liabilities OF
the twelve banks and showing moth
ing. exactly concerning. the individual
bank in which the stakeholder is in
terested.
This fifty-page congressional re-
port docs not give separately finan-
cial statements, showing the exact
condition of each land bank although
complete separate statements are
necessary to judge the welfare of the
SYSTEM" said Thompson.
"Since the farm loan system is so
organized that the liabilities or losses
of one bank are in the end the liahil-
tiles and losses of the other eleven,
every stockholder has right to de-
mand this information. Every in
weston in farm loan bonds would be
protected bySsuch. publicity.
ITO create the farm loan system
farmers pooled lands worthsclose to
two and half billions as security
for 80 billion of outstanding loans
They put up hard cash in addition,
fifty millions of it. Yet the dissent
nation of essential information was
not assured, nor were stockholders
encouraged to feel that they owned
their banks and had free rein i'm
their local farm loan associations.
When they became members of the
system, bought stock and received
their loans, they were given no certi-
| ficates of stock. Individually they
had nothing except a receipt for
money paid to show that they had
actually invested in the system.
Farmers pay many hundreds of
employees Throughout this system
who are political appointees, yet as
stockholders have no uncontested
way of finding out what it costs to
maintain this huge force, including
six hundred appraisers and examin-
ers constantly travelling over i'm
mense districts"
