Stanfield Comes to Rescue With Amendment
“I then insisted upon and secured the passage of my amendment to
the War Finance Corporation Act, under the provisions of which
$298,000,000 was advanced for agricultural relief in the West, of which
latter amount the banks, trust and loan companies of Oregon that
serve agriculture received $6,696,000, nearly all which has been repaid.
Drafted Into Relief Service by Treasury Department
“As soon as the War Finance Corporation was prepared to function
under this law, at the request of the Treasury Department. I went
West, where I spent months assisting and advising with the bankers,
thereby enabling them to procure the needed help quickly and before
it was too late to save them. Fortunately, very lew failed in Oregon
in comparison to other states.
Kept Silent to Protect Banks
"Much was said about my absence from the Senate during that time
I was forced to keep silent and go about my work without referring
to my absence or mission until the banks could turn their frozen pa­
per into liquid assets, because, if the people had known why I was
in the West and what I was doing, suspicion would have been direct­
ed to every bank I entered and to every banker with whom I talked.
To avoid embarrassment to them and the defeat of the relief need and
sought, my silence was imperative. All of the banks are in sound con­
dition and I am at liberty to tell why I was away from my seat in the
Senate during this time.
