FIR Condemns Nazi
Hostage Execution
As Base Brutality

WASHINGTON. Oct. 25 CUP) 49,
President Roosevelt today condemn
cd German executions of innocent
hostages" in Europe as an attempt
by the Nazis to break the spirit Of
the European peoples by terrorism.
The presidents denunciation Of
the reprisal executions in France,
Belgium and other nations was a
formal statement released by White
House Secretary Stephen Early.
The practice of executing scores
of innocent hostages in reprlSal for
isolated attacks on Germans in
countries temporarily under the
Nazi heel revoltS a world already
Injured to suffering brutality" the
president said.
Civilized peoples long ago adopt
ed the basic principle that no man
should be punished for the deed of
another. Unable to apprehend the
persons involved in these attacks
the Nazis enthusiastically Slaught-
er so or 100 innocent persons. InoSe
who would "collaborate' with Hitler
or try to appease him cannot
ignore this ghaStly warning"
The Nazis might have learned
from the last war the impossibility
of breaking mems spirit by terror
ISM" Mr.. Roosevelt said. Instead
they develop their 'lebensraum' and
new order by depths Of frightful-
ness which even they have never
approached before.
These are the acts of desperate
men who know in their hearts that
they cannot win. FrightfulnesS can
never bring peace to Europe. 1t only

Debt Board Chief
Charges Land Bank
Hampering Defense

Continued from Page One)
Xashington next week TO testify
a. hearings on the farm credit at
of 1911 before the senate agricul-
TIRE committee. The hearings were
postponed. however.
REMEDY PROPOSED
The proposed new act, Adams said,
would remedy the situation created
bV the present attitude of the fed
eral land bank. by increasing the
amount of the commissioner loans
to $4,000, and by placing both q
flcor and ceiling on interest rates.
The stand taken by the state farm
debt adjustment commission dove
tailed with a recommendation OF
Inc Imperial Valley agricultural
conservation association for either
land bank loan facilities for tho
valley. or a higher commissioner
loan maximum.
l. was pointed out by the associa-
ton that ONLY two sources of loans
en- farms are available to valley
agriculturistS. These are private
banks and the commissioner loans,
the latter too limited TO be OF much
value the former rather difficult tc
deal with, because of the present
farm debt moratorium. Adams said
MORATORIUM NOTED
Private lending agencies, he eX-
planned would like to make land
loans. but are sometimes unwilling
70 do SO because of the law which
provides q three year moratorium
during "distresS.' ~ The result IS,
that private banks now follow the
procedure of making loans to farm
CrS on their notes, placing the trans
actions on a personality basis
rather than OH the value Of the
borrowers security.
Adams said that valley land own
ers are eager to increase their farm
ing operations, but are hampered
BY lack of financial assistance. He
said t1at the total land bank COM
missioner loans made in the valley
tor the first nine months of l94l
was only S55,4OO, while none we're
made in San Diego county.
This Is ample proof that the fed
cral land bank is falling to comply
With commissioner recommendations
IN making funds available for agri-
cultural expansion" he said.
