Washington!—!Two more farm credit
.plans; were added to the dozen or more
already before congress.
A bill amending the farm loan q,ct
to provide additional credits was in
troduced by Senator Norbeck, Repub-
llean, South Dakota,' and Represents
tive Strong, Republican,-Kansas, while
another, Introduced by Senator Nor
beck and Representative A. P. Nelson,
Republican,, Wisconsin, would author
ize the War Finance corporation to
make loans to foreign purchasers of
American agricultural products.
Both of the bills are endorsed by
the American Farm Bureau federation,
and, go beyond the administration pro
posals in the recently introduced Len-
root-Anderson bill. Whether the dif
ferences may be harmonized easily has
not yet been developed, hut certain pro-
visions of the new Norbeclc-Strong
measure are contained in other bills
introduced by Senator Capper, Repub
lican, Kansas, chairman of the senate
farm bloc, and other of the farm group
in congress.
Increase front $10,000 to $25,000 of
the maximum ' loan which could be
made to an individual farmer by co*
operative farm land banks is one of
the principal features of the Norbeck-
Strong bill. Senator, Norbeck said
that this change would “give local co
operative associations a better 'chance
t ocompete with the Joint stock land
banks.”
Such loans under the new bill also
would be available for security on ma
chinery and other debts of borrowers
and not limited, as under the present
law, to,land an,d buildings.
“The bill which' 1 have introduced,”
said Senator Norbeck of this feature,
“makes it possible for a farmer who
owes money on farm machinery, for
instance, to place a mortgage on his
land with the federal farm loan asso
ciations, and pay off the debt on the
farm machinery. He may also bor
row money to educate his family.”

pay put up, as collateral’ ■ first mortgage

Washington. — The, administration
shipping bill was taken up recently by
the senate and .was subjected immedi
ately to a baptism of fire by Democrat
ic members.
Chairman Jones of the commerce
committee, which reported the bill after
making several changes in the house
draft, called up the measure. His often-
ing statement in behalf of the legisla
tion, however, went over, because of the
time consumed by the Democrats in
several attacks on the measure and
by the reading of the bill, and both ma
jority and minority reports in com
pliance with t'a demand by Senator
Fletcher of Florida, ranking Demo
cratic member of the commerce com
mittee.
The Democrats started their attack
as soon as Chairman Jones made his
first move in the legislative struggle
which is expected to occupy the senate
for some time. Senator Jones pro
posed first that the senate proceed
to immediate consideration of tho ship
bill, but objection from the Democratic
side blocked this move until after the |'
regular calendar had been disposed of.
The commerce committee next sugest
ed that the senate meet an hour ear
lier, but withdrew the proposal in the
fact of objections that this would in
terfere with committee, activities.
Republican supporters of the hill
rather expected an attempt by the
Democrats to proven); the taking up df
the bill, but the motion was carried
without a dissent on a viva voce vote.
The next move by Senator Jones—a
proposal that the senate on quitting
work recess instead of adjourn, in
order to expedite consideration of the
bill—was used by the Democrats as a
vehicle of attack on the administra
tion policy with respect to the measure
on the legislation Itself. The pro
posal later was ruled out of order on
a point raised by Senator Harrison,
Democrat, of Mississippi.
Senator Robinson of Arkansas led
the attack with a criticism of the ad
ministration’s course in postponing
house action until after the elections
on what ho described as “concededly
unpopular legislation” and then in
bringing pressure to bear to hasten en
actment of the legislation “before the
members of congress have had a
chance to reflect on: the expression
of the people at the polls in Novem
ber."
