Immediate Donations Vital for
Life of Daily Worker

THE immediate tasks Of the Daily Worker in the
fight to unite the workers all over the country
to fight wage cuts starvation and imperialist war
plots are beyond its present financial resources
FOR months in the past the very existence of
the Daily Worker has been threatene,. because
Of lack of money to pay for paper. The splendid
assistance of workers in the past, and new sub
scriptions coming in during the present campaign
for 5000 12-month subscriptions are not enough
for the present activity of the Daily Worker.
The struggle is widening on all fronts.
Must Prepare for February 4.
THE National Hunger March rallied the masses
of workers on such a wide scale that the
Daily Worker, fettered by tight finances, was un-
able to get to more than a fraction of these
masses, and could not do all it should to soldify
mass support created by the march. The Ma
tional Demonstration on February for the un-
employment insurance will put even greater
burden on the Daily Worker. This time we must
be prepared. WE MUST RAISE FUNDS I'M
NEDIATELY TO MAKE THIS POSSIBLE.

DEMANDS FOR FARM
LOANS SHOW DECLINE
Low Level of Commodity Prices
Has Caused Contraction in
Agricultural Activity.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Demands on the Federal Farm Loan
Board for mortgage loans have shown
a sharp recession during 1892 as COM
pared with previous years since the be-
ginning of the depression.
In explaining this situation, the
board said several major factors were
contributory. One of the principal ones
was said to be the low level Of farm
commodity prices which has made it
impractical If not impossible to expand
farm enterprises calling for credit.
Another was said to be the Shrinkage
in the number of farm sales which nor
mally would call for new financing.
About three-fourths of the business
done by the Federal land banks nor
mally has been the reflnancing of exist
ing high-cost Indebtedness with long
term, low-cost money.
A statement by the board said the
decline in the value of land is one OF
the chief reasons why many loans from
other agencies cannot be refinanced by
the Federal land banks.
Loans applied for frequently are too
large, in terms of present day or even
recent average agricultural values, 1t
said. The value of land and buildings
was so much higher at the time the
loans were made to the applicants that
the amount of the mortgage frequently
is greater than so per cent OF the nor
NAL value of the land for agricultural
purposes, plus 20 per cent OF the IN
sured, permanent improvements when
is the maximum amount which the
Federal land banks can lend. In ad-
dition, the applicants are burdened in
MANY instances with junior liens, tax
obligations and personal Indebtedness
to such an extent that lean which
would be made by the banks would
not be sufficient to meet their needs"
