Future Interest Rate.
Contrary to the understanding of
private grain operatives, he made 1t
clear that loans to farmers from the
Governments revolving fund would
ultimately bear an interest rate COM

This 1t was explained, would come

In two recent cases the board has stipu-
lated that this should not exceed 2 per
cent.
Legge's statement came shortly after
the boards critics had been roundly
denounced by members of the House
in debate on the annual appropriations
bill for the Department of Agriculture.
The discussion brought forth assertions
that Barnes testimony before the lobby
committee signif1ed an effort to inter-
fere with the law establishing the Farm
Board, and a plea that the board be
permitted to show what it can do.

The Cuban Election

III cuha il one Latin American republic that takes its
eolitics seriously but does not get unduly excited about
1t. A few months ago when the Cuban chamber pro-
POSED a constitutional amendment extending the presi-
Dental term to six years, the element opposing Presi-
dent Machado predicted various and sundry disasters
asserting that he would secure the election and dom
;nn.c Cuban affairs another term.
Their prediction was correct 80 far as the election
uss concerned. But the opposition element, despite
it, noisy objection 10 extending the term, failed n
pl,ce a candidate in the field. As a result Machadc
was elected without opposition.
That the Cubans take their politics seriously ",
demonstrated ~ the fact that - per cent n the voters
rent 70 the POLLS to vote for 2 candidate who had RAJ
epposition. It is doubtful if 20 pr cent Of American
waters would have taken the trouble 10 vote under sim
,l,r conditions. In fact, the Cuban vote averages up
well with the recent general election m the United
States after one or the most intensive and interesting
campaigns the country ever experienced
The heavy vote in Cuba Is attributed 70 the eduos-

rhasized that the voter should consider It a duty q

HOOVER AND SOUTH AMERICA
Dallas News).

President.Eleet Hoover has now completed his cir.
cult or Latin countries to the south, and the Utah IL
headed toward Hampton Roads. that its distinguished
guest may spend a few days at Washington before pro-
ceeding 10 Florida.
Mr.. Hoover made a decided hit in Latin America
His modesty and courtesy won him friends wherever he
went. Tsctfully he avoided the discussion Of political
and FRACTIONAL questions. He sought out common
grounds in political and educational ideals and stressed
the fraternalism OF states. Commercial and financial
relations, he asserted, should be mutually beneficial.
since the tropics and the temperate zone are inter-
dependent. In his addresses he emphasized the point
that the United States had no desire TO make aggres-
sions on weaker states, and announced il as his pur-
pose to recognize their rights OF equal sovereignty.
BY visiting Latin America Mr. Hoover has completed
his international education. He has met the statesmen
and leading citizens Of that region and has learned 70
appreciate them. He has seen with his own eyes their
magnificent cities and ports, their great mountains.
their extensive plains and the density Of their forests.
lie has shared the hospitality Of the people, smiled
with them in social gatherings, enjoyed the dignity and
courtesy OF their manners, and henceforth can not but
have toward them the attitude Of a friend toward
friends.
From an this Pan-Americanism should gain much
in the future. There should an era Of good will. The
suspicious Of ignorance should give way TO mutual con-
fdepee and the irritations Of former years should be
forgotten. President Hoover will have il in his power,
during his term or terms Of office, to bring the Ameri-
cas- together on a common basis Of mutual respect and
frRternalism.
