it was currently talked in Washing

radical for him.
CAUSE OF DEPRESSION?
1 have heard Editor Woodlock ar
que that Americas recent depression
probably was due largely to excessive
interest charges.
The increase in the country's ma
tional wealth, he said, has been moth
ing like so rapid as. we have assum-
ed. Considered on a compounded in
terest' basis Ca highly arithmetical
process) he estimated that it has not
exceeded As per cent in United States
history.
So small an increase in wealth, he
asserted, has not justified interest
rates of five, six, seven or even eight
per cent. 1t has resulted in the fun
neling of too much wealth (wealth;
not altogether cash money! into too
few hands.

Extend Time For
State Soil Crops
Continued from Page One.)

A former ruling provided that to
count toward meeting the minimum
acreage of conserving crops requir-
ed. the conserving crops were to he
sown on land not planted to depict
ing crops this year.
However, Criswell added, growers
who wish to SOW conserving crops to
increase their allowance for soil-build-
ing practices must put these conserv-
ing crops on land on which no soil
depicting crops were grown this year.
Payments are made under two
classifications, he explained. One is
for taking land out of depicting crops
and putting it into conserving crops.
The other is for carrying out soil
building practices. In connection with
these practices, conserving crops
must be grown to make the farmer
eligible for soil-building payments.
Since the work of checking grow
ers' compliance with provisions of the
soil-mprovement program has been
completed in most counties, Criswell
stated. growers who seed conserving
crops in October should get in touch
with their county farm agents in or
der to get credit for their later seed

GOVERNMENT LOAN
LOWERS INTEREST.
But Makes i Hard On In
surance Companies With
Their Investments
BY CHARLES p. STEWART
Central Press Staff Writer

Washington, Oct. GA friend of
mine owns a house on which there is
a mortgage. held. by big insurance
company.
Upon this mortgage he has been
paying five per cent interest for about
q dozen years, at the same time max
ing instalment payments on the prin-
cipal. Periodically he had had to eff
feet renewals at a charge Of LIS per
cent.
On Dec. another renewal will be
due.
The. other day, we'll in advance of
Dec. 1, he received communication
from the mortgage concern It was,
to my friend, very gratifying. one.
GOOD FOR BORROWERS
Renew with this company was
the communications purport.
1--WE will not charge you the usual
1.5 per cent for the renewal.
Moreover, henceforward we will
charge you on your mortgage at the
rate of only four not five per cent"
How come?
My friend surmises that his insur-
ance company is compelled to cut it's
rates because of the competition of
New Deal loaning agencies; otherwise
he will borrow from the government
on better terms than the company's,
and the company will lose customer.
cts lovely from my standpoint"
said my mortgaged acquaintance, "but
what must be the feeling of the in
surance company and it's sharehold-
ers!''
Government interference. in bust
ness!
INTEREST TOO HIGH?
Now, I am not trying to make out
an anti-New Deal case, as may have
appeared thus far.
Perhaps the government is doing
an excellent thing in depressing in
terest rates. Some good authorities,
including several very conservative
ones, can be cited to the effect that
they have been too high.
Editor Thomas F. Woodlock of the
Wall Street Journal is one.
In the very nature of his job Editor
Woodlock is a spokesman for, big
capital. He is recognized as such. And
is he a conservative! Why, President
Coolidge once appointed him to a
place ON the Interstate Commerce
Commission, from which he present
ly resigned (and. went back to the
Wall Street JournaD on the ground,
