Wo aro putting a handicap upon tho (armor and glv lng tho speculator tho premium. Needless to say tho Amorlcan pooplo will not pormtt this condition to prevail. In (act thoy cannot allow Agriculture to languish, (or It Is tho basic Industry of tho nation. Many attempts havo alroady boon mado to roruedy tho situation which has becomo peculiarly acuta Bluco doflatlou from tho high priced por lod during and Jtfst following tho war, but uono of those havo as ycf proven adequato. Tho most recent example ot a par tially successful oftort Is that of tho War Klnauco Corporation a quasi governmental agency deslgnod to loan tho agricultural lntorosts n billion dollars. Duo to tho nocos- sary restrictions and rod tnpo ot govommoutal agencies tho vast ma chinery of this credit agency has proven so complicated ob tc mako Its operation clumsy and uuwolldy. Sinco It could only oporato through tho .banks or specially orgaulzod companies and not directly with tho borrowor, only a small portion ot thoso It was deslgnod to sorvo havo boon aldod. Tho fault Is not altogether with tho banks, although somo might criticize thorn for not taking advan tago ot its possibilities, row coun try banks aro in a position to under wrlto long term loans such as thoso coutomplatod by tho War Klnauco Corporation. Tho War Corporation howovar has douo ono servlco at least. It has demonstrated tho absolute neces sity for adoquato agricultural loans at a low rata of lutorcst, and whuth or or not this results In pormunontly putting the government Into tho banking business or whothor tho bankers of Amorlca will rlso to tho opportunities boforo thorn and sup ply tho uocossary machlnory of crodlt for tho farmers Is Immater ial.
