I HYDE 70 DISCUSS .. FARM LOANS Address in Radio Forum to Touch Important Pub- lic Issue. Loans to farmers by the Department of Agriculture during the depression and the drought period will be discussed by Arthur M. Hyde, Secretary of Agri- culture, in the National Radio Forum over the National Broadcasting €o.'s Nation-wide hook-up. arranged by The Evening Star, next Wednesday night at 10:30 o'clock. Interest Is Widespread. Because of the magnitude of the loans made by his department since 1929 and the fact that Secretary Hyde recently Teferred to his department as the “prize boob” in the history of finance, the dis- cussion of this subject at this time will be of more than ordinary interest Outstanding in these huge loans to farmers are the appropriations by the last Congress. amounting to $67,000.000, for relieving farmers who suffered from the drought, and $50.000,000 appropri- ated and made available during the present session of Congress to assist the farmers who need of funds be- cause of economic conditions. The lat- ter money was appropriated in connec- tion with the appropriations for the Re- construct poration. Be- sides which already is available, Secretary Hyde will have £25.000,000 additional for this same purpose at his disposal on July 1 Secretary Musters Facts. Because of this so-called “emergency the Department of Agricul- the opinion of Secretary e a regular Joan agent. The loans have been made, according him, on thinner security than ever be- fore in money lending in the world. In this radio address Mr. Hyde will en- deavor to give the Nation some idea of the number an nature of these loans and something of the extent and the collateral the department has re- ceived, as well as the loans already sus- ed.

The purpose of Mr. Byrd's resolution was to make it possible for the committee to get down to work on the platfo: as ly as possible. The appointment of the committee would, of course, have be ratified by the con- vention when it meets. Hull Is Authority on Tariff. In view of the importance of the work of drafting the national platform, it is expected that each State delegation will give ean attention to the selection of its member on the Platform Com- mittee Senator Hull is a recognized authority among the Democrats on the tariff and revenue. He served for many years as a ember of the House Ways and Me; Committee before he became a mber of the Senate and at present he is a member of the Senate Finance Committee which deals with those mat- ters. The tariff threatens to be a major issue in the coming campaign. So far as prohibition is concerned, Senator Hull has held that it is not properly a party issue. He was outspoken at a meeting of the Democratic National Committee last March against a pro- posai of Chairman John J, Raskob that the committee undertake to recommend | his “home rule” plank on the liquor question to the national convention for inclusion in the Democratic national platform. At that time Gov. Roosevelt threw his influence against Raskob in this matter, and made himself many friends in the South and West thereby But many of the Democrats, includ- ing former Gov. Byrd of Virginia, who have been and still are supporters of national prohibition, have come to the conclusion there reason why they and the party should not favor a referendum or resubmission of the liquor question to the people ey believe that by such a course it will be possible to avoid a great deal o ftrouble over the liquor issue in the campaign. Mr. Byrd's position at the March meeting of the Democratic Na- tional Committee was much the same as that of Senator Hull on the Raskob “home rule” plank for the Democratic orm Mr. Byrd's present frank aration in favor of the submission of the national prohibition question to a vote of the people has convinced ma of the Democrats there a declaraton favoring a referendum at the convention.

By the Associated Press Bipartisan forces battling the $2.- 000,000,000 soldier bonus outlay gained new strength vesterday, but failed to lessen confidence of ultimate victory among sponsors of a new-money pay ment. From Owen D. Young, financier amd prominent Democrat, came word that to print money to pay the bonus was not “the sound and helpful way" to- ward a desirable increase in money volume. This message was made public by Representative Patman. Democrat, Texas, leading sponsor of the bonus payment, just as Acting Chairman Crisp disclosed that Representative La Guardia of New York. dynamic Pro- gressive leader, would be a leading op- position witness before the Ways and Means Committee. Reiterates Sympathy for Move. Young's _telegram, which was re- ceived by Patman as “very favorable to our .cause,” reiterated his sympathy “toward prepayment of adjusted service certificates to meet the needs of vet- erans.” Then he added I believe now that it is impossible to increase the budget of the United States by $2,000.000,000 to meet such payment and that an attempt to do so would be injurious to the general welfare. “While I believe that an increase in our money volume which includes hank credit as well as currency is tssential to increase our commodity prices therefore highly desirable, 1 do think that the printing of money the distribution of it in payment of service certificates is the sound and helpful way to increase our money volume." Advocates of the bonus payment mitted administration and Democrat leaders “played a trump rard” in gain- ing the support of La Guardia 'n the bonus fight. The New Yorker is a vet- eran with air service experience and only recently demonstrated his power in the House by leading the successful effort to defeat a general sales tax in the revenue bill. Patman Sure of Victory. Patman announced, however. that cashing the bonus now was more cer- tain than ever. “Mr. Young's indorsement payment and the expansion of the currency is very favorable to our cause They are the principal issues in our program.” he said “I believe when all other remedies for expanding the are explored they will necessar turn to the proposal to pay thes. | tificates, because it is the only you can get money to Crisp said Young wou to testify. He added that the financier last year proved “the most witness they had for increasing the loan value of the veterans' certificates.” FAMED WELFARE WORKER WILL BE BURIED TODAY proposed irrency Te- cer- way d be invited Funeral Services for Miss Lathrop to Be Held in City of Birth.

However, not | a fundamental provision of the original bill has been materially altered. The | subcommittee simply devoted itself to| stripping the measure of certain fea- tures which afforded the enemies of | all banking legislation a plausible ex- cuse to raise objections and gave them tenable ground to initiate propaganda and to stimulate antagonisms II's Language Modified. “Undoubtedly there were obscurities language in the bill as originally | drafted which prompted some perfectly sound and honest bankers to ascribe to the measure certain deflationary effects. | These provisions were explained as the | hearings progressed and the language | the modified bill has made clearer | the intent and we have good reason to ppose that the reasonable objectors are now quite content to have the bill become a law. 'The subcommittee, as | now the full commiite ted lite some of the alterations suggested | animously by the F Board and rejected others | “For example, we accepted without | nging & word the board's prop ion 3 of the bill, dealing with 3 powers of the hoard ftself. embodied textually and by every reasonable im- ation in existing law, but more cer- tainly and imperatively expressed in the | provision recommended by the board. | This provision of the bill adds little to | the powers of the board, but gives un- mistakable emphasis to its obligations This section 3 is simply more compre- | hensive_and more unmistakable than ! section 3 of the original bill.

Some of us felt from the beginning that this penalizing clause | was unnecessary, since Federal Reserve | banks, with the approval of the Fed. | eral Reserve Boad, are authorized by | existing law to establish at their dis cretion rates for such transactions. | Hence this change was made without | dissent in the subcommittee or the gen- | eral committee, particularly as it cut the ground from under those objectors who seemed simple enough to think | that the United States Government is | unable to float its obligations withou the actual aid of the Federal Reserve | banks. No member of the subcommit- tee or of the general committee ex- pressed the slightest dissent from the requirements of this section, but several members of the committee proposed to extend and stiffen these requirements ir; A rather drastic way.

Instead of the board of directors con- | sisting of 14 members, we have pro- | vided for a board of 5 members, one of them the comptroller of the currency, one a men ber of the Federal Reserve Board to be designated by that body and three selected annually by the gov- ernors o fthe 12 Federal Reserve banks, | The capital of the Liquidating Corpora- tion is to be $125000,000, to be ap. propriated from the Treasury as a par- tial return of the franchise tax paid into the Treasu'y out of the earnings of the Federal Reserve System.

The capital stock of the Liquidating Corporation is to be further augmented by a contribution from the Federal Reserve Banks cqual to one-fourth of treir surpl funds as of July 1, 1932 and by a sub- seription from member banks of one- fourth of 1 per cent of total deposits as of July 1. 19 One-half of the sub- scription by th ral Reserve Ba and by the member banks will be ca able at once 15 not expected that the other half will ever be called al- | though subject o be called st the discretion of the board of directors The board of directors is authorized also to debentures, 1if ever neccssary = amount of twice the established capital of the Liquidating Corporation.
