The Federal Farm Board announced
today that no loans would be made
out of its $15oOoo, 900 fund available,
pending a determination of policy.
OF the $500,00o,000 authorized by
Congress for the use of the board,
$150.000, 900 was appropriated, and there
are indications that quite a number of
requests are already on hand for por-
tons Of the money.
Announcement also was made by the
board that when loans are made the
board will deal only with offlcialS of the
cooperative marketing associations.
Notice 10 Be Given.
The announcement of the board today
read:
AT present the Federal Farm Board
is not in position to give definite
consideration to applications for loans.
When the board has determined such
principle of action as will premit 1t
to give consideration to these applica-
tionS. notice will be given through the
press and to the co-operatives.
1.-THE board wishes to announce. in
connection with this matter of loans
to cooperative marketing associations
that 1t will deal only with officials Of
the cosoperatives themselves, and that
no association need employ counsel or
other special representatives in order
to gain full complete and sympathetic
hearing of its problems"
Cost Reduction Aim.
Reduction of the marketing costs of
agricultural products will be sought by
the Federal Farm Board as a means Of
boosting the farmers returns without
adding a corresponding increase to the
consumers expenses.
To accomplish this objective. the
board has set itself to the task of or
ganizing the farmers marketing facili-
ties on a gigantic national scale. work

The boards announcement warned
that deliberate" action must be ex-
pected. It was revealed that several
appeals are pending from agricultural
groups, but no hint was given as to
the probable disposition Of the $780,
100000 which the board already has
available out of the $5o0,000, 900 loan
fund.
Many Conferences Likely.
The boards decision to work through
the farm organizations in its drive for
reduced marketing costs is expected to
lead to many conferences with the
agricultural leaders. Regional commodi-
ty meetings are planned "as soon as
time will permit" in such sections as
the need for them becomes apparent.

Proposed Call Reaches Stage
of Diplomatic Negotiations
Between Nations.
DISCUSSIONS IN LONDON
GUARDED AS SECRETS
Conversations of Prime Minister
and Ambassador Dawes Be-
lieved Progressing.
BY the Associated Press.


LONDON, July 17-Informal cen
versa tions between Premier RamseJ
N cDona!d and Ambassador Charles G.
Dawes on naval reduction have reached
the point where the question of the
Premier's visit to the United States
is the subject OF diplomatic negotia-
tions it was learned today.
These negotiations were said to be
with regard to the time of the prime
minister's visit and to making it effec-
tive in promoting the cause of naval
disarmament.
Visit Discussed Before.
It is understood that up to this point
the question of Mr.. MacDonald's visit
has not been raised formally, though
it has been discussed between
the Ambassador and the Premier.
Premier Macdonald was said neither
to have asked for an invitation nor
has one been rendered him. The idea Is
to clear the ground sufficiently in pri-
vate conversations TO warrant making
a formal issue of the visit.
While 1t was known that conversation
on naval reduction between Ambassador
Dawes and Prime Minister Macdonald
have been progressing TO their mutual
the time has not yet ar
rived when either the embassy or the
government wishes to take the public
into It's confidence.
No Official Statement.
There has been no new official state
ment regarding the conversations since
the intimation of j. H. Thomas, lord
privy seal, in an address last Friday
that the conversations were proceeding
very we'll" He had nothing to say Of
prospects for the future.
1t was supposed here the exchanges
Of views between the Ambassador and
the premier may continue for some time
before an announcement is made either
in Washington or in London, but the
secrecy surrounding the meetings thus
far has been an obstacle to obtaining
any real information.
While 1t was stated here the con-
versations had advanced to a point
where the Ambassador had made COM
to Washington, nothing
could be learned as to the tenor Of those
communications. London's political
writers thus far have not hazarded even
guess.
