Every effort made to save the ap- propriations was valuable, Dean Schoenfeld believes, and strengthened the hands of the senators in the final showdown.

The mere presence of these vol untary debt adjustment committeeeee is proving a bulwark of public sen timent against severe actions by debtors and creditors in a time of emergency. Such was the case to a certain extent with the fust system of voluntary committees last year This year the committees are still stronger, and while still without legal status, they have tibe sanction and support of the state and national officials Including the Farm Credit administration. Early reports show that most of the cases that are laid before the committee may be settled by the dhair man or secretary of the county com mittee alone by merely analyzing the situation and pointing out to both debtor and creditor the possible ad- justments in principle, interest rates, payments or other features of the debt. A small percentage must be heard by the entire committee, and a few find their way to «She state committee- In all cases common sense is the first and most important rule of procedure, according to members of the state committee. The volume of work this year is ex pected to be many times as large as last year, hence every effort is be ing made to lighten the burden of the committee members who work with out compensation. County agents can assist in giving out information, hav- ing blanks filled out, and arranging for hearngs, though the committees alone are responsible for decisions- 1 $1 for the next 5 m CHU >• months of 0 The Atlantic Monthly MAKE the moit of your reading hour« Enjoy the wit. the wiadom, the com panionahip, the charm that have made the ATIANTTC. for eeventy five yeara, America'* moat quoted and moat cher iahed ¿»atazine.
