Gen. Dawes Sees the Turn.

Regrettable from the standpoint of
the public service as Gen. Dawes
retirement from the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation presidency is, his
reasons for resigning 60 far toward
reconciling the country to his loss. He
considers that his job is done, that the
crisis to meet which the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation was formed is
past, and that from now on the trend
Of the economic situation will be up
ward and not downward. II it has
taken that definite turn for the
better-and Gen. Dawes is not a man to
mince words for Pollyanna purposes
the emergency organization which he
has headed since its formation last
February is undoubtedly entitled to a
large share of the credit, though he
n1odestly ascribes 1t to other causes.
Now that the balancing of the
national budget by Congress is assured" "
says Gen. Dawes, the turning point
toward eventual prosperity in this
country seems to have been reached
The work of the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation Is now well ON its way,
with loans already authorized for about
100000, 900, and its operations are now
properly systematized and effective"
President Hoover reflects popular
sentiment in voicing his intense regret"
that Gen. Dawes finds it necessary to
relinquish the direction of the r. F. C..
in order to concentrate on his important
business affairs at Chicago. On the day
Gen. Dawes submitted his resignation
the White House issued statement
citing in detail the remarkable story Of
the Finance Corporations achievements
to date.
In the fourteen weeks of its life loans
OF about $500 900 900 were authorized to
something like 1000 banks, agricultural
credit corporations. life insurance COM
panies and other financial institutions,
and, in addition, about $l70, 100000 to
the railroads. How this Federal aid
simmered through to the humblest COM
munities in the land is illustrated by
the tabulation of the R. F. Cs loaning
activities in town categories. OF nearly
5000 borrowing banks, more than sew
enty per cent are located in towns Of
5000 in population or less. while eighty
four per cent are located in towns Of
$4,000 IN population or less. Only four

New York farmer from Van Hornesville.
