Sees Position Hurt if Congress Slashes Invesiment Roosevelt Suggests $315,000,000 Withdrawal Of Government Capital By the Assoctated Press. The Farm Credit Administration, officials said today, faces an impair- ment of its ability to meet its own operating expenses and absorb losses if Congress decides to curtail its in- vestment by $315,000,000. The suggestion that this amount, roughly half of the Government's investment in the F. C. A., might be withdrawn was made Monday by President Roosevelt in a letter to Vice President Garner. He listed the F. C. A. among sources from which funds might be obtained and returned to the Treas- ury, thus helping to keep the na- tional debt from exceeding the statu- tory $45,000,000,000 limit. Withdrawal of $315,000,000 would not affect the ability of the F. C. A. to provide ample farm credits, of- clals emphasized, because its lend- Ing units could raise funds by bond issues and by rediscounting loan col- lateral submitted by farmers. Loss of the money, however, would deprive F. C. A. of an important source of income, they said. The F. C. A. does not have to pay any- thing for use of the Government funds, and it profits by lending them to farmers at about 5 per cent in- terest. Earnings from loans to farmers have been used not only to pay operating expenses, but to meet losses and to build up reserve against future losses. Because of shrinkage in land values since the early '30s, | the F. C. A's Land Bank unit has had to take over some farms and | resell them at losses. | The Land Bank now holds $1.- 900,000,000 in farm mortgages. So: ONE OF e LARGEST UNDERTAKERS IN_THE WOR farm credit authorities, including Secretary Wallace, believe that these mortgages: exceed the value of the land and that the lending institu- tions will be required to take some F. O.A officials said it was pos- sible that losses on these mortgages would exceed earnings during the next several years. In that event, it might become necessary, they sald, for Congress to vote funds to; make up deficits, much in the same manner that it takes up any losses incurred by the Commodity Credit Corp. on loans made farmers on surplus crops. Political and Labor Rivals Join in Markham Tribute By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, April 24—Pres- ident Roosevelt and former Presi- dent Hoover, John L. Lewis of the C. 1. O. and William Green of the A. F. L. and many others who dif- fered in philosophies were generally agreed on one subject—the greatness of the late poet, Edwin Markham. Their tributes were read last night at a dinner of the Edwin Markham Memorial Association, at which plans were made to preserve the poet’s rambling Staten Island home and the thousands of books that lined its walls as a Markham me- morial. The author of “The Man With the Hoe,” “Lincoln, Man of the People,” and other poems died March 7. Farmers of Germany face s shortage of gasoline for operating tractors.
