NEW YORK, August 28.-Despite the

on that date.
The new Nickel Plate AIS were
brought out at 97A, the price at which

in 1928 has been selling for the past
two days. The old AIS are legal in
New York State for savings banks and

The steep dip of the IS was caused by
wide spread between the bid and

TARIFF EQUALIZATION
URGED BY SENATOR TESS
~ the Assoclated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Senator Fess of Ohio, chairman of
the Republican National Committee,
contends the products of American
factories in foreign countries should
carry tariff that will equalize produc-
ton costs here and abroad.
The Senator, while not condemning
American investments abroad, declares
tariff legislation is for domestic inter-
ests. Tariff opposition by international
banks and investors in foreign securities
and in American plants abroad, he be-
lieves, should not be seriously consid-
cred by the lawmakers.
i do not condemn these invest
ments," he says. while prefer that
they should employ American rather
than foreign labor, am willing to con-
cede the liberty of American citizens
In such ventures. But the country will
not permit the product of such in
dustries to displace in the American
market the American labor employed in
competition with such foreign labor"
The Ohioan believes the country
should require such imports TO bear
duty levied to represent the differ
ence in production costs in the two
countries.

Bankers Will Use
Sound Policies in
Assisting Farmers
Financiers Ready to Aid
Drought Victims, but
Must Have Security.
BY ]. c. RoYLE.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
Bankers of the drought-stricken
States are not going to deviate one step
from what they consider sound bank
ing practice in their relief programs,
despite the pressure brought to bear
on them to extend easy credit to
farmers.
States most affected by the failure of
crops made this plain here today, in
dividually If not officially. They are
looking for business and they want to
help the farmers for their own sakes,
but they are keeping one eye on the
banking regulations of the Federal and
State governments and the other on
the profits which they feel they must
show their stockholders.
They have made it plain that each
State must assume responsibility for
drought relief, must make its own
smoke and kill its own snakes. The
Federal agencies have no funds specific
ally available for the purpose, and de-
partmental executives declare 1t is up
to the Individual local banker, and that
banker Is going TO have adequate secur-
ity for every loan he makes.
Credit Agencies.
There is much, however, which can
be done through the Federal Reserve
banks and agricultural credit agencies,
and advantage will be taken of this
by local bankers in the interests of the
farmers. Alexander Legge, head of the
Federal Farm Board, maintained to-
day that the difficulties caused by
drought had been greatly exaggerated.
He maintains that If the drought was
going to break any one, such a person
would have been broken any way
The facts set forth above under some
circumstances might seem dispiriting
for the farmer. But the banking lead
ers gathered here made it plain that
they were thoroughly convinced that
general business recovery would not be
delayed or checked by the drought.
When hardheaded bankers make conf
dent statements such as that, there Is
every reason to believe that they see
business recovery in the offing, and that
in consequence their ideas as to the
advisability of making loans will be
decidedly liberalized.
After all, the individual banker must
decide to whom he will extend credit
and must fix the amount and the terms.
Bankers are not loath to make loans.
Thence come their profits, but they
want these loans returned. and they
are not likely to make them unless the
repayment with interest and profit is
assured by adequate collateral.
Leniency Policy.
The governor OF the Federal Reserve
Board said, however. that he believed
"leniency will be followed by all of
the Reserve banks toward member banks
that are. in the affected districts. but
that the Federal Reserve banks are
in the same position as other financial
institutions and in no position to make
knowingly poor loans under any condi-
tons"

NEW CREDIT FIRMS
MAY AID FARMERS
Drought Gives Rise to Plan
for Financing Rural
Districts.
BY FRANK I. WELLER.

tAeSutlbNtu ETetS EAfm EQlEOr.1
This years drought may be tnfu-
entail in the creation of additional
credit corporations to serve the farmer
and tc enable established Federal aeen-
cies to function more fully.
The drought has served to magnify
inadequate credit ofacilities for the
farmer, whose credit already has been
limited during the last two or three
years by the closing of commercial
banks in country districts and accumu-
lation of frozen assets In other country
banks.
Government Machinery.
The Governments machinery for get
ting both production and marketing
credit into the farmers hands operates
through the Federal Farm Loan Board
and the Federal Farm Board, but
neither can deal with the individual ex-
cept through his local credit corpora
ton.
H. Paul Bestor, executive head of the
Farm Loan Board, says the maximum
usefulness OF such corporations has not
yet been employed.
1t is the Farm Loan Board which
superviSes the IL Federal intermediate
credit banks, primary sources of farm
credit for production and marketing
purposes. The chief direct service the
system has given the cooperative
marketing associations has been through
advances made on staple commodities
secured by warehouse receipts.
The Farm Board makes the supple
mented loan, an amount determined
more or less by what 1t believes the
commodity to be worth above the pri.
mary loan advanced by the intern1e.
diate credit bank.
Production credit is obtained bv n
little different route. 1t is in this
field that the greatest need is felt for
development of additional credit cor
porations.
Credit Banks,
In many instances the drought has
made it necessary for farmers to borrow
money to feed live stock and to plant
their next seasons crops. Corporations
must be formed to underwrite loans OBJ
tanned for those purposes.
The intermediate credit banks are
authorized to advance production credit,
but the service has been handicapped
by lack of sufficient security.
Legislation bearing on a general re-.
vision of the farm loan act Is expected
to be asked of the next Congress by
several national farm organizations.
