FARM MORTGAGE
CASE

The Farm Mortgage Moratorium
Amendment-pass by Congress
and approved by the President amid
argument over constitutionality-
apparently headed for Supreme
Court test.
The amendment to the National
Bankruptcy Act was held unconsti-
tutional Sept 10, in finding by
United States District judge, w.
Calvin Chestnut, at Baltimore.
Judge Chestnut's. opinion in the
Farm Mortgage Moratorium suit,
which was twenty-eight pages long,
was filed in the case of William
Bradford, Jr., Bel Air (Md.) farm
er, on whose farm a mortgage had
been foreclosed by the Potomac
Joint Stock Land Bank of Alexan-
dria, Va. The property had been
sold at auction to John D. Worth
ington and Annie c. Worthington
for $21,50O, a sum sufficient to pay
the mortgage, interest and court ex-
penses.
Following the auction, the Circuit
Court for Hartford county ordered
the sales ratified unless cause was
shown why it should not be. Brad
ford filed an exception to the sale, al
leging that the price was grossly in
adequate, and later applied to the
district court, through Allen H.
Fisher, his attorney, for a restrain
ing order.
Judge Chestnut's finding, was bas-
ed largely upon the following two
points which he stressed:
Cd The amendment removes the
protection which the laws of each
State give a contracting creditor, and
doubles the protection given farm
r-debtor--thereby tending to con-
fiscate the property of the creditor in
an effort to save the farm of the
debtors.
CD The amendment tends to
supersede the right retained by each
individual State in the operation OF
it's courts, and to abrogate contracts
legally entered into, and, in the case
at hand, consummated.
