conclusion that in the majority of
cases it is more practical, more eco
nomical and more conducive to
good citizenship to help farm fami-
lies to help themselves by attacking
or eliminating some of the causes
that make them such easy prey of
economic crises.
In every community are to be
found farm families which, because
of unfortunate circumstances-suc
as severe illness, poor management,
inadequate land resources, lack of
training, lack of equipment, exorbi-
tant interest rates and resulting
debt and foreclosure-are not finan-
cially solvent but nevertheless are
industrious and deserve a chance to
prove their worth.
Farm families, judged capable of
operating a farm, if given assist
ance and training, are being ex-
tended loans to enable them to pur-
chase tools, livestock, seed, ferti-
lizer and other things needed on
the farm. These families are given
up to five years to repay loans for
livestock, farm machinery and 9TH
er heavy equipment. Loans for
rent, seed, fertilizer and subsistence
are made on a short term basis of
one or two years. Interest on all
loans is at 5 per cent annually.
No family, hawever, is granted a
loan until the expenditure of the
money is carefully mapped out and
approval given to a farm plan de-
signed to yield sufficient cash in
come to permit the family to pur-
chase the indispensable needs and
to lquidate it's debt to the Resettle-
ment Administration. Applications
for loans should be made to the
county Resettlement supervisor or
the county agricultural agent.

Single Out Dairy Pact
''In speeches made in the House
for the past few days by Repubi-
cans, much complaint has been
made concerning the trade agree
ments which have recently been
entered into by the State depart
ment with certain foreign govern
ments," said Mr.. Doughton.
'These agreements have been ne
gotiated by the State department
with the special purpose in view of
restoring our foreign trade, which
has been largely lost, as a result Of
the Smoot- Hawley tariff law.

of people in the United States un-
der Republican control, and the eff
feet of the Smoot- Hawley tariff bill,
contrast that situation with the con-
ditions today under the Democratic
administration.
- would be inferred from the
arguments and the speeches made
by those on the opposition that the
men in charge of this reciprocal
trade law, in the first place have no
knowledge of the subject; in the
next place they have considered no
one; in the next place they have
only the interest of foreign coun-
tries at heart rather than the inter
est of our own country.

Answers Republican Critics By
Asking Them To Compare
Trade With COP. Era

Washington, Jan. 23.-Represent-
alive Doughton, chairman of the
ways and means committee, and
consistent supporter of the admin
istration, defended the policies of
the state department in a speech
in the house today while the recip-
rocal trade agreements were under
discussion. Mr.. Doughton contrast
ed present day price levels, with
the commodity prices as they were
found in the days of the depression
lows, and expressed the belief that
the trade treaties already announc-
ed and in the making, would prove
equally successful.
The trade treaties are to regain
foreign business lost under the Re-
publican regime of former Presi-
dent Hoover, Mr.. Doughton said,
and stressed the fact that even now
the protection, under the new
Canadian pact, to United States
business from omports from the
Dominion of Canada was greater
than afforded under the old Repub-

RIA REQUIRES CLIENTS
TO FOLLOW FARM PLANS

Raleigh, N. c., Jan. 27-A funda-
mental change in agricultural cred
it policy has been inaugurated by
the Resettlement Administration,
which extends loans to impoverish-
ed farm families, in an effort to
help them become self-supporting,
Regional RIA headquarters an
nounced today.
Under Resettlement policy, each
farm family granted loan agrees
to follow approved farm and home
management plans worked out by
local supervisors, who are trained
practical farmers, in cooperation
with the county agricultural agent
With this plan, Resettlement makes
certain in advance of the utilization
of every possible method of making
the farm pay and operating the
home economically.
At the same time, the client is
given the benefit of the farming
knowledge of trained men and
women who are familiar with local
conditions, to the end that he may
be able to repay his loan. During
the crop season the farmer is ex-
pected to confer with the super
visor on proper cultivation methods,
while his wife is given every assis-
lance in canning, food preservation
and other home operations.
At present, State Director Vance
E. Swift reports there are approx
mately 1000 farm families under
care of the rural rehabilitation pro-
gram in North Carolina. The state
has a quota of 1890 families to be
brought under the program by May.
Farm owners, tenants, share
troopers, farm laborers or persons
with farming experience and back
ground, are eligible for rehabilita-
ton loans, provided they are the
heads of destitute or low income
families unable to obtain credit
from ordinary sources.
Experience in providing relief for
farm families caught in the net OF
the recent depression led to the
