HUME, Jan. 4.-lCaly lifted
snugly to its foot today-and
with resentment-the diplo-
matte shoe which President
Roosevelt, in his message to
Congress, offered expansion
list nations.
The Presidents reference to those
who revert to the law of the sword,
or who believe that they have a mis-
sion to Subdue others, was taken
here as referring clearly, and direct
ly, to Italy.
In answer, those in political cir
cles said coldly that they regretted
the President had shown insufficient
knowledge of Italy's case against
Ethiopia, and of the true situa-
ton"
But there was national relief over
disclosure of the neutrality bill
which the Administration is spon-
soring to keep the United States
aIoof from war.
Feared UnfriendIy Acts
Fear had increased that this bill
might authorize a complete en-
barge on such essentials as oil. 1t
was said frankly in advance that
any such bill would be regarded as
definitely unfriendly to Italy. 1t
was limited mysteriously, also, that
the United States certainly would
be drawn into European conflict if
it pushed its neutrality acts TO lin
it's which would hurt Italy seriously
without injuring Ethiopia.
There was no sympathy here with
the Presidents implied invitation to
Italy to exercise patience and seek
by peaceable negotiations an outlet
for surplus population.
Italy, it was said, has shown pa
tience with Ethiopia for more than
40 years. Patience proved useless, it
was added-as it has been On so
many occasions in past months
in view of Ethiopias continuous
provocations and methooical
breaches of agreements.
Negotiations Pointed Out
| Italy did carry out peaceable ne
gotiations for years, it was argued,
as shown by treaty of friendship
with Ethiopia and three treaties
with France and Great Britain con-
corning Ethiopia.
But there was no reward, COM
mentators said, for Italy's admit
tedly'' honest aspirations and legiti-
mate needs.
They read in the Presidents state
ment about reasonable and legiti-
mate objective" a recognition of the
reasonableness and legitimacy of
Italy's detectives. But they added
that such recognition was empty
unless accompanied by a concrete
plan.
(The President made no reference
to italy or to the merits of it's OBJ
jectivesl
Italians recalled that Sir Samuel
Hoare, as British foreign secre-
tary, in speech last summer recog-
nized Italy's need for expansion.
Yet, they commented, Great Brit

Farm Interest Collections
In 1885 Shor Sharp Rise
73 Per Cent Gain in Farms Disposed of,
and Long.Term Contract Interest
Rate Cut to 4 Per Cent.

73 per cent more than in 1884 and l04
per cent more than in 1888. Both the
price per acre and the proportion Of
the investment recovered were appre-
ciably higher than in the preceding
year.
The return Of the Federal land
banks to the investment market for
loan funds was accomplished in De-
cember with the sale of 100000, 900
issue of consolidated Federal land
bank bonds. the first public offering
since 1880, for the purpose of obtain
ing new loan funds. Because Of their
ability to sell their 3 per cent bonds
at or near par, the banks established
a loan rate through national farm loan
associations of 4 per cent per annum,
which Is the lowest in the history OF
the banks.
Bank Stock Ownership.
''Prior to the time when the Federal
Government aided the Federal land
banks by subscribing to their paid-in
surplus, the stock in these institutions
was owned almost wholly, about 80 per
cent, by the borrowing farmers
through their national farm loan as
sociations. The capital stock of the
banks at the close Of 1885 was $685.

"The holdings Of stock by associations
and direct borrowers increased $780,
600, while that held by the Govern
ment increased IS, ,480 900. The stock
owned by the associations and direct
borrowers amounted to 48 per cent OF
the total stock. In seven of the banks
they own more than one-half OF the
stock.

Progress in 1885 of the Federal land
banks, which held, at the end Of the
year, $2,072, ,000, 900 in farm mortgage
loans, was marked by sharp rise in
interest collections, a 73 per cent in
crease in the number of farms disposed
of, return to the investment market for
loapable funds, and reduction of the
long-te contract interest rate on new
loans made through national farm
loan associations to per cent, the
lowest in the history of the banks. In
addition there was substantial in
crease In the amount of stock owner
ship in the banks on the part Of bor-
rowers and a decrease in the amount
loaned from $3.50, ,000, 900 in 1884 to
SPAS, ZOO, 900 in 1885.
"At the end of the year recently
closed" said Albert S. Goss, land bank
commissioner, "all matured INSTALL
ments had been paid in full by bor-
rowers on 476,7 loans or 73 per cent
of the 643,803 loans then outstanding.
This means Improvement from 66 per
cent a year earlier. Although loans
outstanding at the end of 1885 had
increased during the year 1870, the
number as well as the percentage of
loans with delinquent and extended
installments declined. They numbered
27 per cent, compared to "a per cent
in the same condition one year earlier.
Collections Improved.
Although number of loans were re-
moved from the delinquent or extended
classification during the year by fore
closures or reamortization, a SUBJ
stantial improvement in collection was
made, which is praiseworthy consider
ing the severe drought which materially
affected farming conditions in the st.
Paul, Omaha, Wichita and Houston
districts in 1934-35.
"The market for farms continued to
improve during the year." said Mr.
Goss. "This was reflected in the dis
