Finance co.
ORGANIZED
BY C0-0PS

SUPERIOR, Wis.-The Central FL
nance Company" an agency for help
ing cooperative stores to finance in
stallment purchases by their members
of appliances, machinery and other
heavy items, is in process of incor-
poration by the Central Cooperative
Wholesale and it's affiliated co-opera-
tiyes.
The articles of incorporation were
approved by the Management Commit
tee of the C. C. w. meeting here
September 6, and are now being
passed upon by the secretary of state
at Madison.
Cooperative finance associations
have already proved their value to the
cooperative movement in other sec
lions of the country. The agricul-
tura1 Credit Corp. owned by the Farm
Bureau co-operatives in Ohio has been
operating for more than five years.
And the Indiana co-operatives have
just completed one year Of operation
of their own bank which has saved
its patron-members thousands of dol
lars in the cost Of consumer credit.
The capital of the new cooperative
ly owned finance association is fixed
at $4,000 to be divided into $50
shares of 800 each. The Cow has
agreed to take $4,000 of the shares
and other co-ops are asked to take
the remainder. The company will be-
gin functioning as soon as one-half
of the authorizde share capital is sub
scribed and one-fifth is paid in.
The company, which will be wholly
coop owned and controlled, is being
incorporated under the general cor
porations act of Wisconsin. The COM
mittee also approved expenditure of
$4,000 on an addition to the main
feed mill here. Five thousand dollars
had been previously voted and con-
struction of the addition is now in
process. 1t will be one-story build
ing, on which an elevator may be
erected later.

BRITISH LION HAS
HAD HIS DAY, SEES
EMPIRE CRUMBLE
BY SCOTT NEARING

Fifty American destroyers have
been traded for eight British bases
on the Atlantic The destroyers will
go into the war zone Six of the eight
naval bases are leased to the U. S. for
SO years.
Destroyers are small fast vessels
designed to wear themselves. out in a
short period of active service. War
losses have made Britain short of such
craft and these American-built vessels
reach the British naval authorities at
a critical stage in the battle of Brit
ain. Hence to the British they are
Invaluable.
The eight bases obtained by the
u. S. government stretch along the
Atlantic coast line from Newfoundland
on the north, to British Guiana on the
south. Taken together they are series
of vitality important military outposts.
The destroyers may all be sunk o.
disabled within the next six weeks.
The Atlantic coast bases won by the
United States in this latest of inter-
national barter deals are leased for
80 years. In peacetime so destroyers
would not have bought 99-year lease
on any one of these bases. Urgent war
necessity forced the deal through.
Two matters of first-rate Importance
led the British to take this step. The
first was the need for the destroyers.
The second was the judgment that it
would be wise at this stage in the
British Empire survival struggle to
make the United States and Canada
responsible for North American de-
Tense.

THE
WASHINGTON
SCENE
Rv HENRY ION
By HENRY ION
Federated Press)

WASHINGTON. = If people start
talking about the administrators
housing program in the past tense
pretty soon it should not cause any
great surprise.
The truth of the matter is that the
United States housing authority pro-
gram, the one that started out SO
bravely to house one-third of the ma
ton that is in need of decent housing
is on its last legs and the prospect OF
any new low-cost housing develop
ments are remote.
The fault is principally CONGRESSES.
More particularly, the blame lies at
the door of that little band of obstruc-
tionists who dominate the house rules
committee.
But the blame could be put in other
places too. AS in the case Of a number
of other new deal agencies, the admin
istration has lost interest and has, ap-
parently, left the USHA to fight its
own battle with congress as best 1t
can.
Way back in 1899 the senate passed
a bill, S. SCI, giving the USHA author
ity to spend an additional 100000, 900
for low-cost housing
The bill went to the house and after
a cat and dog fight was recommitted.
It's principal opponents were southern
ers who felt that the low income peo-
pie in their districts didn't need good
housing. Most southerners are demo-
Gratis, including the house leadership.
At the next session, the USHA pried
and prodded the house banking and
currency committee in an attempt to
get the bill out. Promises were made,
compromises effected and an agree
ment reached that the bill would ne
cut in half, to s4O0,O00,000 with $780,
100000 earmarked for rural housing.
Finally, several months ago, the
bill came out OF banking and currency
and popped into the rules committee
hands, the same gang that held up the
wage-hours bill for an entire session.
More conferences were held More

AIRPORT PROGRAM AIDED

A new leasing-fee program has been
Iinaugurated by the Montana land
board to dovetail with the national
defense program. Mrs. Nanita B. Sher-
lock, land board commissioner, said
airports at Belgrade, Dillon and Gey-
ser had been released for five years
to the civil aeronautics authority for
nominal sums. State law makes it
mandatory a fee be charged, but the
land board slashed the charge in def
erence to the nations defense plans
SO that the fees on each Of The three
fields will range from SIS to SIS year

COOPERATIVE
STARTED FOR
RESETTLEMENT
z Farmers Organize, Buy
Land and Begin Developing
Project.

Six Valley county farmers and one
Phillips county farmer organized a
cooperative association, borrowed
money from the farm security admin
istration for purchase of land, con.
struction of buildings and domestica-
ton of the land and by next spring, if
possible, will be farming about 1855
acres of land near Nashua, most of
which is now unirrigable.
The cooperative farm plan has
taken several years to work out but
such progress has been made that
drilling of wells started Wednesday
and excavation for Easements will fol-
low. The association has borrowed
$4,000 from the farm security, $3.50
of which was spent for purchase of
the old Ben Durrell tract of 1,034.95
acres, five miles southwest of Nashua.
Construction Of homes and farm
buildings will cost s12,786 while irri-
cation structures, leveling, draining
and other development work on the
land will cost $23,100. The sum of
$4,664 has been set aside for contin-
gencies.
Taking advantage of the sale of
houses and barracks at Fort Peck,
the cooperative purchased houses
and 10 barracks. The houses have been
