Loans On Hand BIT Not Com.
Nefed VIII Bring N. C. Total
To Near 100000

A total of S10,SSe,S97 has been
paid out to North Carolina farmers
by the Federal Land Bank of Col
umbia on land bank and land bank
commissioner loans on farm mort
cages from April SO, 1888 to May
/, 1854, according to figures given
out by Julian H. Scarborough, gen.
eral agent for the Farm Credit Ad-
ministration, for the Columbia dis
trict.
In addition to loans already paid,
Mr.. Scarborough said hat the land
bank had on hand on April Is,
loans already approved for North
Carolina farmers but NOT complet-
ed totaling S21,oO2,91S.23. This
will run the grand total for North
Carolina up to near S52,OOO,O 900.
The money, he said has been used
In the payment of taxes, debts to
merchants, insurance companies,
commercial banks, joint stock land
banks, private mortgage lenders and
Others. The remainder, he said was
used for the purchase of land and
equipment, the construction or i'm
provement of buildings and for
general agricultural purposes.
"The land bank, Mr.. Scarborough
continued, "is now using the bonds
of the new Federal Farm Mortgage
corporation instead of cash in clos
ing loans. These bonds bear 3 IL
per cent interests and they are ex-
empt from all taxation except the
usual inheritance, estate and gift
taxes and they are o only readily
marketable but are equivalent to
bonds of the United States. These
bonds have found instant favor
with the investing public as is in
Dictated by the fact that they are
already bringing over par.
Mr.. Scarborough said that credit
must be extended by the various
agencies of the Farm Credit adj,
ministration on a BUSINESS basis
funds from investors are to con-
tinue to be available. The success
of the system, he declared, depends
on the reputation of its securities
in the financial centers and all loans
must be sound.

15HURT IN SAAR
ANT|-NAl FIGHTS
Semi Martial Law to Halt
Terrorism Is
Asked.

Copyright. 1894. by the Associated Press.
SAARBRUECKEN, Saar Basin Ter
ritory, December 31.-Serious riotine
broke out in this area today and anti
Nazis asked the introduction of semi
martial law to suppress the terrorism
gripping the Saar." About Is persons
were injured in the week ends dis
turbanceS.
More than so shots were fired when
Nazis and anti-Nazis battled at NAL
staff, suburb of Saarbruecken
A Hitler youth was wounded and the
retaurant where the fight took place
was wrecked.
Several persons were injured yester-
day at Blieskastel when an alleged
NaN group broke up an anti-Nazi
rally in a hall there.
Johann Hoffman,, Catholic leader
OF the German Peoples party-which
opposes the Saar's return to Ger
many-was present at the meeting.
Police Called.
Those who were in the meeting
charged that the Nazi leader in Bile
skastel was in the hall to lead the at
tack and that so Nazis rushed into the
fray after a gun was fired as a signal.
International policemen restored or
der in a hurry.
The most seriously injured at Bile
skastel was Heinrich Imbush, Catholic
leader, who was struck on the head
BY q beer mug and was also beaten
with chairs.
Honmann himself called for semi
martial law. He presented a petition
to the League of Nations Governing
Commission asking that the interna-
tional army troops maintain order, and
saying "the secrecy Of the plebiscite
vote has been assured, but freedom OF
speech in the campaigns has not"
The petition also asked the COM
mission to ban the flying disciplinary
squad" maintained by the German
Front" NaN organization. The
petition said this squad was largely
responsible for the weekend clashes.
The Common Front" an anti
Nazi organization, told the commits
sion that the flying disciplinary
squad" was deliberately provoking in
cidents throughout the territory In
an effort to induce the governing
commission to cancel an anti-Nazi
rally scheduled for January 6 at
Saarbruecken. Special trains have
been arranged to bring delegations
to the rally from all parts of the
area.
Charges that France Is financing
Catholic opposition to Reichsfuehrer
Hitler in the Saar Basin territory
were made BY Hugo Hagn. editor of
q Catholic newspaper.
