Federal reserve experts, 1t was
learned today, practically have COM
pleted a plan to unlock $2000,000,-
900 of frozen deposits by govern
ment purchase of preferred stock
on a large scale. The objective is
to pay off depositors and set aside
slow assets for gradual liquidation.
Banks which do not cooperate will
be forced into liquidation, The
plan will be ready for announce
ment next week.
This plan. coupled with the steps
taken to raise cotton and other
agricultural prices, represents
gigantic move to expand credit and
put money into circulation and thus
meets the aims of the once more
rampant inflationiSts by what Presi-
dent Roosevelt regards as sounder
and safer means.
Cotton Loans Outlined
Perhaps late today, certainly on
Monday, the agriculture department
will announce details of plan out
lined at the White House Friday
for loans to farmers, at 10 cents a
pound, on this years cotton in
their possession in exchange for
commitments to reduce acreage next
year in accordance with the admin
istration'S program.
This will result in withholding
cotton from the market and should
stabilize the price at once. The
President counts upon his other
credit expansion measures to spur
the price still further. Cotton now
is around cents q pound.
This price boosting plan comes on
top of allotment of $75,000000 for
purchase of surplus agricultural
products to feed and clothe the I'M
employed this winter. Both fol-
lowed quickly on the recent cotton
convention which revealed to the
administration the threat of
aroused farmers.
Urge Coal for Needy
Today. also, the administration
was considering adding coal to the
commodities that might be pur-
chased to aid the needy.
Economic experts long have re-
garded the frozen bank deposits es
a chief deterrent to the recovery
program. Freeing of this store of
money, they have argued, would
contribute to the advance more than
any other one thing and would be
particularly helpful now that the
public works program has failed to
come up to expectations.
They finally have won President
Roosevelt over to the idea that
prompt action is needed because Of
the slow course of the treasury.
While the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation has bought preferred
stock in some ninety banks to
hasten reopening, banks have not
been quick to take advantage of
this assistance. The new plan vir-
tually will be compulsory 1t will
mean enlarged government control
over the country's banking struc-
ture.
Alternative Is Debated
An alternative plan was consid-
cred. This would entail issuance of
greenbacks under the initiation act
to pay off depositors of closed banks.
Bonds first would have to be issued
to comply with the act, and then
these would be retired by green
backs. Some within the inner cir
Gle preferred this plan but the more
conservative won out. President
still harbors a taboo
against printing press money, de-
spite the terrific pressure that has
been borught upon him within the
last few days by responsible party
leaders for direct currency imitation.

During the first five-year plan
Russia spent s644,OO0 900 on water
transportation alone. The second
fve-year plan aims to more than tri-
pie that figure. Vast canal, irrigation
and hydroelectric projects are to be
undertaken and long stretches of
railway electrified
Thousands of miles of new high
ways are to beuilt and the S707,-
100000 spent during the last five
years on automobile transport is TO
be exceeded in the next five.
Machinery in Demand
Some 81, 900 miles of air lanes now
are in operation in Soviet Russia.
This will be increased TO 10000
miles during the next half decade,
and enormous fleets of commercial
planes will have to be provided for
this traffic.
Heavy machinery and other typ
ical American products in enor-
nous quantity will be in big de-
mand. If We get into this market
now. Washington has been told by
business leaders, we should be able
TO hold on TO 1t for the next fifty
years.
With 100000 population and
growing fast, and with one-fifth the
land surface of the globe, Russia
has strong preference for Ameri-
can goods. And as she now is in
the midst of national development
such as the world never has seen
outside the United States following
the 1865. experts regard her as the
most promising market we are likely
to see for many years to come.
Sees Competitive Credit
Il could easily get orders for a
billion dollars worth of American
products" one nationally known
leader reported. IF we could offer
competitive credit terms"
Without recognition such terms
are impossible, save perhaps in iSo-
lated deals financed by the R. F. c.
or some similar federal agency.
Healthy trade requires that the re-
lations between the two countries
be nOrmalized. Consular officials
and banks must be able to function
Every other important nation has
an advantage over this country be-
cause they have recognized the So
Wet Union.
