FARM LOAN STUDY COMMITTEE URGED Various Bureau Leaders Meet i Preliminary to National F Convention Monday. By the Assoclated Press. BOSTON, December 6.—Leaders of the respective farm bureaus of the country today decided to ask the Amer- ican Farm Bureau Federation to create & national committee for the study of co-operative short-term credits. Resolution Follows Addresses. Meeting today preliminary to the zmlnj of the three-day convention of e American Farm Bureau Federa- tion Monday, the State leaders adopted & resolution favoring the mnational committee after listening to an exposi- tion of the operations of co-operative credit unions by P. F. Lucksinger of Columbus, Nebr., a director of the Fed- eral Land Bank of Omaha, and Roy ¥F. Bergengren, secretary of the Credit Union National Extension Bureau. Lucksinger pleaded for recognition of the importance of a substantial credit reservoir for farmers, and said: “The country bank is apparently doomed and the numerous bank failures in the best of the agricultural dis- tricts is becoming a serious problem for all concerned. Confidence is on the wane and people continue to with- draw their funds, crippling the loan institutions to such an extent they are not answering their requirements.” Credit Association Described. Lucksinger discussed the Pioneer Credit Association of Columbus, Nebr., of which he is president, and said that in the 16 months of its existence it had grown from nothing to an or- ganization with more than 16,000 as- sets. It was lending its funds, he said, to 125 members at 7 per cent, less than the local rate, had distributed a dividend of 4 per cent and pays in- terest on deposits of 5 per cent. FEARLESS OFFICIALS HELD NEED. Judge Pleads With Farm Women to Vote for Decency. BOSTON, December 6 (#)—Crime cannot be suppressed until there is fearless enforcement of law by public officlals, Judge Florence E. Allen of the Ohio Supreme Court, asserted today at the closing session of the National Farm ‘Women’s Conference. “The basic principles which are taught in the home and school and church have to be put in force in Gov- ernment or the home itself is threat- ened, and any citizen, man or wom- an alike, in the city and on the farm, who fails to vote and register his influence on the side of decency and uprightness in community life is help- ing to bulld up the power of organized crime, which one day may threaten his very children,” she said. Takes Dry Stand. Concerning prohibition, Judge Allen, after declaring she was personally and politically dry, said: “The right 'of the people to govern | themselves does not mean license, it means self-control.” Mrs. Frank Evans, attorney, of Salt Lake City, told the farm women that the rural woman sought, not more leis- ure, but opportunity for more effective ‘work. Reviewing the activities of the farm men and women to improve their own conditions. she said: “One-fifth of the farm products of the country were marketed co-operative- ly during the last year. We must not stop until four-fifths of the farm prod- ucts are co-operatively marketed.” Decreasing Income Menace Seen. Decreasing farm income carries with it & menace to the soclal standards of the farmer’s family, Martha Van Rens- selaer, assistant director of the White House Cunference on Child Health and Protection, told the conference delegates. When the farmer’s income decreases, she said, too often the result is that recreation, health and education are sacrificed and social standards lowered. On adjournment of the conference a . Resolutions Committee began work on recommendations to be presented to the tions Committee of the American Farm Bureau Federation, which opens a three-day convention here Monday. G. W. U.

By the Associated Press. PHILADELPHIA, December 6.—Be- lief that an aroused public conscience will ind means to prevent possible fu- ture periods of unemployment was ex- pressed here tonight by Gerard Swope, president of the General Electric Co. He spoke at the closing session of the two-day conference on “Security in In- dustry” of the American Academy of Political and Social Science. Mr. Swope said his experience in ef- forts to give security to employes had led him to form the opinion that work- ers should have help, but that they did not want charity. Five plans by which the General Electric aids its employes were explained. Wage Cuts Not Studied. These include employes’ life insur- ance, aid in buying homes, offers to ac- quire company securities, pension sys- tem and unemployment relief funds. In all of these plans, he said, the company had a financial interest and hence had greater incentive toward efforts to keep employes on the job. Big industries have learned, he sald, to keep wages up by improved methods of manufacture, rather than to strive to keep earnings up by reducing wages. ‘Work Week Cut Urged. Universal adoption of the five-day { Week was recommended by Sidney Hill- man, general president of the Amalga- mated Clothing Workers of America, as a means of assuring security for em- ployes. ’ He also urged recognition by Ameri- can industry “of the establishment of unemployment reserve funds through co-operation of worker and employer." General adoption of the unemploy- ment reserve fund plan, Paul H. Douglas of the University of Chicago said, seems “inevitable in the light of present con- ditions and future stabilization pros- GERMAN STAR FINED BERLIN, December 6 (#).—Wilhelm Dieterle, German film :,),ar now " in Hollywood, has been ordered by the Berlin Labor Court to pay the Silva Film Co. of Berlin all damages which have arisen or are arising from the %fl-lglmlmmt of certain contracts. e damages were placed at approxi- mgrlfily 325.000.l & e e court placed the case 1 Dieterle in the category of lholsee‘ mf volving 100,000 marks (about $24,000), Ex:krer; dSHvl Co. cnlcuhuld that it amages upward of 2,000, marks (about 3480,030). bl second debate was “Resolved, that the President’s plan to reduce the person- nel of the Navy in an economy plan is to the best interest of the United States,” and those upholding the af- firmative were Eugene E.
