COTTON loan
FARLEY TODAY

I.N.S.) Directors Of the Com"

scheduled to hold another final
meeting today to fix the rate and
regulations for the cotton loan au-

A final" meeting was held last
Saturday, after which the an

expected to be made. Final de-
tails, however, were not agreed
upon, and today's meeting was
called.
Much pressure has been brought

valued, and little has been cleared up not even the
actual value Of the franc. French spectators are
betting their shekels on another devaluation al
ready. At least. they are NOT bringing their
money back now from the American market or
the other foreign caches in which they hid it.
The French government Is moving courage
ouSly to hold prices and wages in line, and to set
its expenditures in order But it is graphing with
a whirlwind. It's chances of success seem to be
something less. than $3.50 (although many au-
thorities here believe the short end of the bet
is the best).
NeU Upset Expected
Also, expert opinion hereabouts leans heavily
on the expectation that the present government
will be Short-hved, that another political and
financial reorganization is only a matter Of
months, if, indeed. it does not develop into a
collapse which will bring complete government
control over exchanges, gold. etc.
That is the worst side Of the picture, and few
pictures ever work out as badly as the preliminary
advance sketch. At any rate, it is so obvious
that nearly everyone knows it and can see it.
This fact in itself, is creating some encourage
ment That is, in the utter hopelessnesS of &C.
complishing anything effective now, there seems
to be sincere disposition among world states
men to attempt to start something, they know
not what.
They are beginning to talk about what few
little things might be done in preparation for
a later day when more practical action can be
discussed. This is not much of a mooring for
practical men to tie their minds to, but at least,
it is something and therefore. perhaps, better
than nothing.
An attempt will be made to revive the League
of Nations this fall, but it probably will come to

real and may clear the European horizon con-
siderably. Any moves toward business peace how
ever, will undoubtedly be taken outside and
beyond the League.

The odds still favor Franco, and if he wins,

Long War FOreseen
Newsmen who have been at the front lately
are guessing the Spanish war will last for from
six months to two years more. They have an
idea it will end, where all wars end, in economic
collapse due to a shortage Of food. Not much
food will be available this coming winter. Very
little has been shipped in SO far The ruination
of the country is virtually complete. 1t will not
recover in this generation.
The French have an idea that the Spanish war
has proved they are secure. It exposed, they
say, the inability Of any nation to conduct a
swift fourmonths' war with airplanes and tanks

For this and other reasons, war fears have
subsidized hereabouts in the past few months.
The real basic reason why war does not ap-

perity measure was demanded to
day by Senator Elmer Thomas CD
of Oklahoma, In a call issued
here to rally for a battle at the
next session of Congress, saying:
1T is impossible to enact any
satisfactory farm legislation
until the regulation and stabilI-
cation Of the dollar has been
accomplished"
TO TOUR WEST
Thomas is a member of the
Senate Agricultural subcommittee
which will tour the West this fall
to gather the farmers views on
proposed farm legislation for the
next session Of Congress.
Thomas, who fathered the law

ing power to alter the gold con.

gave motive he now will fight for
creation of a Federal monetary
authority.
The board of governors Of the
Federal Reserve System, under
the Thomas bill, would comprise
the monetary authority, with
power to determine a fair pur-
chasing power for the dollar and
strive to maintain it.
BENEFIT GENERAL
"This program will be of bene-
fit not only to farmers, but, like
wise, to producers, manufac-
turers, contractors, wage earners
and investors" Thomas said,
continuing:
In the past I have advocated
q cheapening of the dollar to
the end that the general price
level might be raised. However,
I am opposed to initiation in the
same degree that am opposed
to deflation.
"The monetary authority bill
is proposed as a remedy for and
a guarantee against either infla-
ton or deflation."
The general price level is too
low, Thomas commended.

JOBS EXPECTED
TO Be STARTED
LoW-Rent Projects Due
Under New Setup

U.N.S). Launching Of at least
so new low-rent housing projects
within a short time after an
nouncement Of the new housing
set-up authorized by the Wagner
Steagall act is anticipated by Fed
eral authorities.
Public Works Administration
approved engineering, legal and
financial status of 81 housing
projects more than year ago
when President Roosevelt, by exec
utive order, reduced PwA funds in
favor Of the Works Progress Ad-
ministration work-relief program,
according to records.
ON GRANT BASIS
While those projects were ap-
proved on a IS per cent grant
basis, PWA officials said that
almost all Of them would be work
able under the low-rent housing
act, If the municipalities sponsor
ing them desire to go ahead.
Administration observers expect
the PWA housing division to be
utilized as a nucleus for the new
Housing Administration. The law
places the new agency under su-
pervision of the Secretary of the

AVOID CONFLICT

The new agency will not conflict
with or overlap the Federal Hous-
ing Administration, but will be
confined to slum-clearance, low
rent housing activities, for which
Congress authorized it to sell
500 million dollars in bonds, from
which it may make loans and
grants for financing housing for
families of low incomes.
Some of the activities Of the Re
settlement Administration, partic-
ularly the administration Of its
three suburban projects at Ber-
wyn. Nd, Cincinnati and Mil
waukee, may be transferred by the
President to the new agency.
Secretary of Agriculture Wal
lace has announced that r. A.
would undertake no more such
building projects. r. A. is 'eX-
pected to be used for developing
the farm tenancy program and to
continue its farm rehabilitation
and relief programs.
LOANS ALLOWED
The new act places larger re.
Spcnsibilities on the local COM
munities. The housing authority
is authorized to make loans up to
80 per cent of the cost of projects
to local housing authorities.
Another authorized method pro-
vides for an outright grant of IS
per cent to local housing authori-
ties, and the President may allot
an additional Is per cent if that
amount is used as wages for relief
labor.
The loans may be extended over
a period of so years, at rate 8
per cent interest.
The act limits cost of construc-
ton to not more than $1,000 a
room and $4,000 a family unit,
except in cities of 100000 or more
population, where the cost may go
to $3.50 room and $4,000 a
family unit.
