FARM CREDIT HEAD
OPTIMISTIC FOR 81
Gov. Myers Points to Decrease IN
Loans as Rejecting End
of Emergency, =

BY the Associated Press.
A bright outlook for the financial
status of farmers next year was de-
picted today by Gov. W. I. Myers
of the Farm Credit Administration.
Myers said total loans to farmers
by the various F. c. A. agencies
amounted to $67O,O00,O00 this year,
compared with 81 ,060 ,O00, 900 in 1885.
The decline reflected q decrease in
the emergency demand" by farmers
for assistance from Federal agencies,
because they had no other source OF
credit after the depression" Myers
said.
I'm the country as q whole, farm
ers apparently had more money for
equipment, machinery, farm build
ings and repairs in 1886 than in any
year since the depression" Myers said.
He added that this should continue
next year because Of increased pur-
chasing power and the opportunity to
get short-term cash loans at the pres
ent reasonable rates."
Myers reported that long-term
mortgage loans by F. c. A. this year
amounted to $1s4,000,000, less than
half the 1885 total Of $444, ,000, 900.
He said this drop was due to passing
of the depression emergency land less
pressure by other creditors for hqui-
dation."

We, the People
Radio and Newspapers Seen to Compete Little, Each
Having Own Assets.

| The impressions which they created
over the microphone faded under the
daily drizzle Of typography and be-
came irrelevant to the rising tide Of
individual and general prosperity. The
facts Of substantial business recovery
and the arguments based on New Deal
policies were what put Roosevelt's
radio personality over with political
bang.
Radio Tool Of Propagandists.
As mater Of fact, since propaganda
Is the art Of creating impressions,
unsupported by reason and often con-
trary to experience. radio is q tool
made to order for the propagandists.
That this is so is shown by the way
in which an advertiser will buy an
hour Of music on the air and insert a
couple Of minutes Of reference to his
product-in order to transfer the good
will of the audience from a swing
number or a symphony to some par
ticular type Of cigarette or automobile.
This is also shown by the fact that
dictatorial governments hammer away
at their regimented peoples over the
ether.
In one field alone is radio an ap-
parent competitor with the press
in imparting basic news to the general
public. The simultaneous radio
quality Of being everywhere instan-
taneously robs much spot-news of its
commercial value for selling new edi-
cid
which lay beneath the Associated
Press suit against Seattle Station
KVOS. Whether the injury can be
reduced to dollar values Is q matter
for court decision.
May Prove Boon TO Papers.
Yet it might be argued that the
very nature Of radio, even in this
field, may serve TO advertise rather
than eliminate newspapers. Few peo-
pie who heard King Edward Wits
magnificent farewell to his empire
failed on that account to buy the
next days papers in order to get
fuller details.
Even when catastrophes are
broken" over the air people clamor
for details, lists of names, etc. The
public wants precise information as
well as swift general impression.
There would seem, therefore, to be
reason to make haste slowly in cur
failing the right of radio to take its
news where it finds it and to broad
cast it to a public which has GER
tainly shown itself willing to support
both press and radio in the style to
which they are now accustomed. But
since radio Is required to pay musical
and other copyright charges in broad
casting, there is no reason why radio
should not also pay a service charge
to the A. p. or any other news source
for the privilege of putting copy.

microphone. In fact, Hitler built up
his NaM majority party in the face
Of q government which denied him
the radio as an instrument OF po-
litical propaganda. Nine-tenths Of the
German press was also against him,
so that his movement was reduced
to word-of-mouth agitation and man
to-man organization, based on the
common experiences of the German
people.
Ether Impressions Sketchy.
In the second place, radio is most
effective in registering a swift, sketchy
impression, least effective in trans
mitting an argument or detailed in
formation. For this purpose the print
ed page is supreme, for it lets the
reader turn back and reread and
study and reflect, If he wishes to. or
to skip entirely. In q democracy this
process Is basic to political opinion.
Even the best and most persuasive
oratory is crippled unless it is but
tressed by printed material and COM
mon experience.
II was this which frustrated both
Huey Long and Father Coughlin in
their air-attacks on the New Deal.
They. like Roosevelt, were past mas
tiers in the art Of conveying impress
sions by a turn Of phrase, a quality
Of speech which was vital, colorful
and held the interest of the listener.
The human voice has too long been
neglected as an instrument which can
convey ideas apart from the words
it utters, and radio has reminded us
of its importance.
Yet Coushlins and the Kingfish's
arguments were too emotional or too
remote from common experience to
find detailed justification in print.
