GRANGE AND FARM BUREAU
SCORED BY CONGRESSMAN

present system, backed by opponents
of the measure, is the requirement
that borrowers take 30 of their loan
in stock. Interest on the loan is,
nevertheless, figured upon the whole
loan and the stock is deposited as
collateral not only. for the loan of
the borrower but as collateral for the
loan of every other borrower in the
loan association of which the Dor
rover is member.
This stock-purchase arrangement,
Secretary Wallace pointed out in his
| testimony, was borrowed from the
Germany system. He stated that 1t
was never appropriate to the Ameri-
can credit system. ut is ironical also
that the great concern expressed for
The interest of the farmers as own
ers' Of the Land Bank System" said
Secretary Wallace, docs not extend
to these same farmers as borrowers
from the land banks. If / am not
mistaken, the average farmer who has
had occasion to- take out a Federal
Land Bank loan is far more interested
in his opportunity to borrow on favor
able terms-or to refinance his old
loan on such terms-than he is in dis
regarding entirely without change a
pseudo cooperative system which
time has proved to be not co-opera-
tive in fact"
With regard to the Capitalization of
control, it was brought out during the
course of the testimony that the new
bill proposes no additional centraliza-
ton but only confirms the shift of the
FCA to the department Of agricul-
ture.
The loan associations under the
Jones bill are permitted to function
to the same extent that they were
able to function under the old system,
except that the stock liability of the
membership would be removed. Like
wise, an additional provision is made
for the approval of loans by county
committees in cases where local loan
associations are not available to con-
slider it.
