stock are available. The credit cor
poration is being set up as a result
of the affiliation of the Farmers
Union Livestock Commission with
the National Livestock Marketing
Association, the farmer-owned ma
tional cooperative marketing asso-
citation recognized by the federal
farm board.
Some funds, however have been
made available by the feeder and
finance department of the Nation
al Livestock Marketing Asoscia-
tion," Mr.. Egley said, for livestock
loans. These loans at present will
be made only on cattle and sheep.
No loans will be made on COWS for
raising calves or on breeding ewes
for lambing purposes.
1.-THE over production of these
classes of livestock already has re-
suited in burdensome supplies and
the National Livestock Marketing
Assn. does not wish to tax any ac-
ton to stimulate the production OF
greater SURPRISES. Short term feed
lot loans are desired rather than
other kinds. Loans for grazing
purposes when the credit corpora
t1on is functioning will be usually
about 70 per cent of market value.
Chattel mortgages must be made
and if there is any existing indebt-
edness against livestock. farmers
must clear that off before the
loans will be available 10 them.
There will be an inspection fee in
making loans we hope to hold to
about SIS.
"As regards SURPRISES Of live
stock. there have been greater in
creases in dairy than in beef cattle
and the number of sheep is 43 per
cent loroer than rem wears ago,
with holdings probably the heavi-
est in history"

MILLIONS LOST
In USSR TRADE

New York-FP- Purchases of
American products by the Amtorg
Trading Corp, for shipment to
Russia amounted TO $50, S85,OOO
for the six months ending March
81, 1881 as compared to SOCIAL
UOO for the corresponding period
of the preceding fiscal year, de-
cline og 44.88o.
UnfavOrable Credit Conditions
This sharp drop in Russian pur-
chaseS which contrasts with a
steady increase in the orders plac-
ed by Amtorg during the preced-
ing 5 years, is ascribed by Peter
A. Bogdanov, chairman of the Am
borg board to the increasingly
unfavorable credit conditions here
Reductions in All lines by Two
Reductions in purchases were re-
corded for all major groups of
commodities with the exception of
automotive and power equipment,
for which general contracts cover
ing a period of years are in force
with several leading firms.
Decline Due to Many Factors
"This decline, which comes aft
er steady gains recorded during
the past five year," Bogdanov said
must be ascribed to several fac
tors, of which the lack of improve
ment in financing facilities on So
Wet orders is one of the most i'm
portant.
"SOme firms, because of the
situation created by. the cOntin-
ed attacks directed against the
SOviet-American trade, have de-
clined to finance purchases in
accordance with requirements of
the Russian market.
BANKS REFUSE CREDIT
"At the same time the banks
do not discount Amt0rg accept
ances in the normal manner and
show little disposition to finance
Russia-AmeriOan trade directly
to an! appreciate extent.
This situation contrasts strik-
ingly with the improvement IN
credit and other commercial IA
cilities extended to Soviet trade
organizations in European cOm-
tries. notably Germany, where
recently a new agreement cover
ing large credits to the Soviet
Union has been concluded. Italy,
where new trade agreement is
! being negotiated, Austria. Eng
Ian dand Norway.
u. S. ORDERS GO. TO GERMAN
"Under these conditions many
orders originally scheduled for
the United States could not be
placed here because importing
organizations in the Soviet Un-
ion, which naturally seek the
best possible terms were attract
ed by European offers.
GAIN IN EUROPE DROP IN US
simultaneously with the drop
in purchases in the United
States there was. a considerable
gain in Russian orders in Eur
0pe.
''The decline in the business of
Amtorg during the past half
year indicates clearly that trade
cannot thrive under the cOndi-
tons IN which Russian American
trade has been carried on"

waiting, on half-rations, for the
return of employment and by the
generosity of relatives and friends
whose surplus of savings they are
steadily using up in order that
they may not Starve. But as this
surplus and these savings are di-
minished the purchasing power of
the unemployed and their gener-
Gus friends will be reduced, and to
that extent the demand for bust
ness activity will likewise be re-
duced. Poverty will breed poverty
because there is neither employ
ment nor a government fund for
unemployed relief.
People Will Not Starve
Will the seven million continue
half fed turnout the next year
Will they starve? Will they Gre
ate a formidable protest that will
become the most conspicuous feat
ure of the presidential campaign.
Economists answer the first ques-
ton with a positive "No." Presi-
dent Hoover will be unable to
prevent congress from appropriat-
ing funds to feed the hungry. But
the conflict with Hoover over this
"dole" will, in the opinion of gov
eminent economists, make unem-
ployment insurance all the more
important as a fighting issue for
1882.
Prediction Based on Solid Rock
These confidential forecasts are
not built on the material collect
ed and broadcast by Col. Arthur
Woods Sunshine Bureau" but on
actual payments made on incomes
for 1880, as contrasted with those
for 1929. And 1929 included the
period of the great stock market
collapse and the vast initial "li-
quotation" of labor. They also take
into account the certainty that
business mergers and improved
productive methods will continue to
displace skilled workers in the
coming year at an increasing rate
Of speed.
