D., Nov. 9, 1932. Editor, Tribune: Recently I read in a farm maga- zine a discussion of the Intermediate Credit Banks and other forms of fed- eral credit extended to the farmers. The authors take the stand that the credit facilities provided by the federal government, through its vari- ous agencies, are to be praised and {supported as the wonders of the day. But when it comes to the question as to what lies beyond, where we desire to know the why and wherefore of jcredit in the first place, the authors never even mention the proposition. Under such a handling of the mat- ter at hand is it any wonder that the arguments lead into a blind alley? Let us look into the background of all of these credits and then we shall see the subject in a different light. The whole structure from top to bot- tom, with a small exception, is built business men. Starting in the are crete business with his brothers and a | hand cement mixer, they have built up a business which employs scores of | men in constructing highway bridges.

This information was contained in a statement of C. P.

This creates a situation wherein there is room for countless thousands of human leeches to live upon society, through the interest they collect for pure “hot air,” better known as cred- it. Let us take the Intermediate Credit banks as an illustration. The Federal Intermediate Credit banks, in the original act were or- ganized with $5,000,000 authorized capital stock for each bank, said stock to be purchased by the United States treasury. This is all the actual money the government is supposed to put into the project. Local credit associations are then to be formed by local parties in each community de- siring the use of these credit facilities. iSuch an association can be organ- ized with an authorized capital of $10,000 but they can contract loans for $100,000, or ten times their cap- ital. If the association is successful in placing loans in the community, how long will it take before the amount of loans outstanding will ex- ceed the $10,000 originally invested? And when this happens, what does the farmer get, who loans later? He gets credit and not money, thereby creat- ing a The local credit association then takes the notes it accepted from the farmers and discounts them with the ‘ederal Intermediate Credit bank in its district. When the $5,000,000 au- thorized capital is exhausted the In- {termediate Credit bank does not go to the United States treasury and k Uncle Sam for more money, but. instead issues debenture bonds to be jSold on the money market, thereby paving the road into our credit sys- {tem for “leech No. 2.” In other rds, Uncle Sam goes out into the open market to buy more money, even though he has the authority to coin and regulate the value thereof. He {thereby pays interest to the bankinj system for the use of money of whic! he has an unlimited amount, himself. He then passes the interest charged |by the money masters down to the local credit associations for them to collect from the original borrowers. This creates the odd situation that the farmer payadnterest to the money masters for the debentures the In- termediate Credit banks sell on the market and also to the local credit association, both of which could be eliminated if Uncle Sam ran his own business for the good of the people] instead of permitting it to be run by and for these human leeches that live upon society through their col- lection of interest at every turn of the road. America, we got it, God knows how, but we intend to keep it if we can by throwing all the tremendous weight of our support, our influence, our money, our political connections, our purchased senators, our hungry con- gressmen, our public-speaking dema- gogues into the scale against any leg- islature, any political platform, any presidential campaign that threatens the integrity of our estate.” Lindbergh, Sr., in his book, “The Economic Pinch,” has published there- in a document sent out by the bank- in the nineties. We quote in part: “We (meaning the bankers) must Proceed with caution and guard every move made, for the lower order of the people are already showing signs of restless commotion . The courts must be called to our aid, debts must be co¥ected, bonds and mort- gages foreclosed as rapidly as pos- sible. .. . . When through the process of law the common people have lost their homes, they will be more tract- able and easily governed through the influence of the strong arm of the government applied by a central power of imperial wealth under the control of the leading financiers. People without homes will not quarrel with their leaders.” In these two quotations we have a good picture of the ultimate end of the system of finance which we are fostering, namely the credit ‘system. The rich continually work for a sys- tem of finance whereby they Can in- duce the public to become indebted to them, instead of to the government. Having acquired control of the gov- ernment, they rule by fraud as Mar- tin says in “The Passing of the Idle Rich.” Whenever the common peo- Ple beginto show signs of unrest, the rich merely foreclose the mortgages they hold against them and through this means whip them into line. This is the ultimate goal of the Federal Reserve system, the Federal Farm Loan system, as manipulated at pres- ent, and will be the ultimate end of the Federal Intermediate Credit banks. It merely builds up a credit system which supports an_ interest rate to the saturation point, which is all the public can be made to pay and still exist. Hon. L. O. Richardson.

Reports Gains in Corn, Tobacco, Potatoes, Beans, Grapefruit Washington, Nov. 12.—()—Little Jast month was indicated Friday by change in crop prospects during the the department of agriculture. With the estimated corn produc- tion rising to 2,920,689,000 bushels as compared with 2,563,000,000 last year, the department reported other slight gains for tobacco, potatoes, sweet po- tatoes, beans, apples and grapefruit. Small decreases were indicated . for gtain, sorghums,, flax, peanuts and Louisiana sugar cane. Farm reserves of old corn on Nov.} 1 were placed at seven per cent of| 974,000 bushels compared with 78,-! 951,000 a year ago. | The buckwheat crop was estimated| at 7,100,000 bushels, the preliminary yield of 14.4 bushels comparing with 11.7 last_year. | Abandonment of acreage in North and South Dakota accounted largely for a three per cent reduction in the flax seed crop as compared with Oct. 1 estimates. The production was fig- ured at 12,770,000 bushels; compared with 11,100,000 last year. The next proposition we face is the question of why the debentures? With a little study the matter becomes quite clear. The $5,000,000 authorized cap- ital stock of each Federal Intermedi- ate Credit.bank is just enough capi- tal to give the money masters a work- ing basis. Debentures can then be issued to the amount of $50,000,000 for each Intermediate Credit bank, jor $600,000,000 for the whole Federal Intermediate Credit bank system. These amounts are 10 times the au- thorized capital stock, as the law stip- ulates. These amounts of debenture [bond issues can, however, be in- creased still more to the extent of 10 times the amount of the surplus, whatever that might be. The fed- eral governinent can not put into this loan agency one speck more than the original $5,000,000 called for and must go into the open money market for every cent it desires above this. And what is more, the limit of debenture issues is beyond the clouds, because if the surplus is kept continually on the increase the “10 times the sur- Plus” stipulation in the law makes this limit without an end. This sim- ply guarantees ‘the money masters the privilege of collecting interest from the farmer and using Uncle |Sam as his collection agency. Not alone this, but through this means of many representatives and sena- tors pledged to such repeal, that our own representatives and senators will join and assist in carrying out the mandate of our own people in re- pealing the constitutional provision. “A repeal of our state prohibition laws passed in pursuance of the con- stitution at the next legislative ses-/| ed North the‘ace of clubs and, in ad- dition, great strength in the side suits.

Uncle Sam takes care of that for them, so why should they worry? This brings us to the next question. Why is it that the rich, who have more than they can use of this world’s wealth, can get money from the federal government for ay inters est rate that is infinitesimal while the people, who are the government, can not get this rsoney without paying an exorbitcat rate, and this mostly to the money masters? We ask, why? This is the system of finance’ back of the Federal Reserve; this is the system back of the ral Intermediate Credit banks, this you consider as such @ marvelous means of getting credit to the farmer. Just why? If we look into some his- tory of. the past we can get at least some idea of why these conditions prevail. Frederick Townsend Martin, a cap- italist, wrote in his book, “The Pass- ing of the Idle Rich,” published in 1911, the following in regard to the aims and activities of the rich. “The Plutocrats always rule by force or fraud, or a combination of the two, ».+.In America they rule by fraud alone.....
