Secretary Wallace was understoad to have urged the commitiee to report the Anderson- Lenroot bill. on the grouhd that it wae more nearly adequate 0 the needs of the farmer than the Capper bill. Mr. Hoover. whose festimony \was said to have related more gen- erally to the need of agricultural credit than to details of its exten- slon. appeared to favor the Ander- son-Lenroot measure, whicn would set up farm credits departmenis in the existing federal land with an authorized government-rurrished twelve banks. Committee Ready to Work. With the views of the three cabi- net ‘members before it. the committee prepared to draft legislation which wjll harmonize the widely ‘conflicting opinions held by its members and b, members of Congress generally as to the form of aid to be extended the farmers and live stock growers of the country. The committee will meet Tuesday to begin its_admitted- 1y difficult task and Chalrman Mc- Lean hopes to have a bill ready for Senate consideration by the -end of this week. The Capper bill. which was drafted with the assistance of Director Meyer of the War Finance Corporation and presented with the indorsement of the American National Live Stock As- sociation, would provide for organiza- tion, under supervision of the con- trolier of the currency, of private rural credit and rediscount corpora- tions with a minimum capitalization of $250,000, for extension of the period during’ which agricultural paper shall be eligible for rediscount from si months to nine months, and for ac- ceptance by federal reserve banks of paper of co-operative associations of agriculturists for rediscount as agri- cultural paper.
