The perman ent financial policy adopttd by liic American Farri Bureau federation ut its annual meeting at Atlanta, Ga., Ncvembcr 21 to ii3 is the same as Passed by the Oregon State Farm bu nt u ot its meeting in Portland, No vember 4 and 5. George A. iMansfield, president of the Oregon Farm bureau, who orig inated this policy, and who has just returned from the convention, where he was instrumental in having it adopted, brings back a plowing ac count of the meeting. He is veiy hopeful for the future. On Mansfield's motion and after his explanation the convention adopted unanimously the following as its per manent policy: 'We ask the appointment of a com mittee to carefully prepare and pie sent to congress as the views of our membership, a bill which will so Emend existing laws as to secure to every American citizen an adequate pnd proper system of financing, which thall be truly, national, in its charac ter, safe, sound and administered un der he'direction of an independent jrh'tt representative board of director, representing- every phase of our na tional life, so that congress shall not only "coin money and regulate the value thereof," but will carry out the true spirit of the constitution by reg ulating the expansion and reduction of credit, not with a view of private gain but in such a way as to protect the in. teiests of all our citizens and secure and promote the public welfare." Mr. Mansfield says: "The attend ance was large and enthusiastic; Ohio, for instance, sending a delegation of 120, in addition to her official repre sentatives. Reports from every state showed the farm bureau constantly growing in numbers and efficiency. "The report of the executive secre tary shows that more, agricultural legislation has been enacted during the past year than during any similar period in American history." The following legislative acts were advocated by the farm bureau and supported by the agricultural period in American history." "1. The packer and stockyard con trol bjll. "2. Regulation of grain exchange? end future trading in grain. "3. Extension of war finance cor porations' Powers to lend money to farmers. . - "4. Increasing rate of interest on federal farm loan bonds from 5 to 51 per cent, thus enabling the Farm Loan bank to market its securities end function. . "5. Increasing by l$2!,000,000 the working capital of the federal loan system. "6. Limiting immigration to 2 pe? cent of the foreign born residents in this country as recorded in the 19 1 it census. "7. .Tljere is yet pending before con Biess the Capper-Volstead co-operative marketing bill, the truth in fab rics bill, the rural credit bill, the filled milk bills and the federal highway bill. "The report shows that the farm bureau has done a vast work whose value to farmers and to the whole country cannot be measured in dol lars. But even by this stundard alone every farmer in the United States has jbeen benefited enough to pay his farm jlvreau dues for years. 'The convention went on record as ifavoring: "Strengthening agricultural department. "Tariff protetcion for agriculture. "Raising bulk of national taxes on incomes. . "Against tax free securities and op posed to the repeal of the excess prof it taxes. "Against a general sales tax. "The most important work was done by the. convention on the question of i finance. "It declared in favor, as measure", ifcr temporary relief, as follows: I "1. Proper long term credit for (farmers. I "2. Proper authorization for com- inodity financing based upon ware-: hpuse receipts. I "2. Livestock financing based upon a proper pledge. 4. Personal rural credits secured by proper insurance features." DELAY II BE GIVENGERMANY Suggestion W a Morator ium 'Aliandonctl at Holiest of 'France, it is Under-stood.
