The committee of governors con- sisted of O'Neal of Alabama, chair- man; Plaisted, Maine; Mann, Vir- ginia; Harmon, Ohio; McGovern, Wis- consin;| Hadley, Misgouri; Foss, Massachusetts; Carel, Wyoming, and Johnson, California. Ambassador Herrick outlined briefly the bond issue plan, which he recom- mended for adoption by this country.

The interest on the bonds aver- ages 3 per cent a year, exclusive of the cost of the bond issue, Secretary Wilson told the governors that the “land renter,” who, he said, usually was a man who could not own a farm, was the cause of the loss of productiveness in the land, because of his slipshod methods of farming.
