PRESiDENT CCOLiQCL IN SPEC
IAL Mc.3S‘vOE, SAvS FIVE
STEPS NECESSARY
GREAT NUMBERS OF FARMERS
FLOODED BY DEBTS
WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 14.—
Five steps for the relief oi the agri
cultural situation in the Northwest
! some to be taken by congress, some
1 bv the executive branch of the gov
| eminent and some by private inter
. ests, were outlined by President Cool
idge in a special mesasge to cong- i
i ress.
The steps include:
The refunding of the pressing
j past-due ind btedness of the farmer
in the territories most seriously at- j
feeled;
Financial assistance through a fed
eral agency to enable wheat farmers!
to make the change from a single crop
system to diversified farming;
The restoration, wherever it would!
be helpful, of the impaired capital oi l
banking institutions in the distress-;
ing sections;
The creation by private capital of a'
I substantial financing corporation to
j assist in the plan for reorganibation;
The extension of the time during
which the War Fin an i corporation
can make loans.
Mr. Coolidge told congress tnat j
| there were measures “by which,
j without undue alarm or agitation,
but, nevertheless, promptly and ef
fectively, we can bring to bear on a
serious though, happily, a localized em 5
ergency, every source of the federal
government and the assitance which
the business and farming community
i can render.”
“The economic condition in cer
tain wheat growing sections of the
Northwest.” the president said at the
outset or' his message, “is reaching an
acute stage tnat requires organized
co-operation on the part of the federal
government an ! the institutions of
j that territory for its solution.”
Calling attention to the mention he I
| made to this situation m iiis message!
o congress in !vce»uber. he continu ,
ed.
Great numbers of ii dividual farm i
e s am so i tvoived i t dtt>{, both on i
mortgages avd 'o r. < i hi nts and to
hanks, that they are arable to pres-j
erve the equity of their property. They j
are unable to undertake the diverse j
fication farming that is fundamental-!
ly necessary for sound agricultural
reconstruction of the area. They are ■
unable to meet their obligations and
there has been involved the entire'
mercantile and banking fabric of these
regions.
“Not on’v have there been large! .
numbers of foreclosures on actual
farms, but there are great numbers!
of farmers who are continuing in pos
session on sufferance from their cred- j
itors.
Banks In Trouble.
“There have been large and increas- j
ing bank failures. Bills have been in
troduced providing for the lending by ;
the federal government of moneys dl-1
rectly to the farmers for purposes of1
assisting them in conversion of the
farms on the basis of diversified farm
ing. I am heartily in favor of these
bills, but they do not and will not com
pass the entire problem.
“Many of the farmers are, how- j
ever, in such jeopardy from their j
creditors that even with this assist
ance there is no assurance that they
would have sufficient period in which
to work out the necessary conversion
of their methods and it would be use
less to give to this group such gov
ernmental assistance if it is to be on
ly for purposes of immediate seizure
by the creditors.
“Such legislation therefore will be
of little avail unless arrangements
have been effected between the farm
er and his creditors, by the funding
of past-due indebtedness and interest!
or by similaT means, so that the loans
will insure to the benefit of the farm
er himself instead of merely to the
benefit of his creditors. if such ar
rangements can be made, the farmer
can be given the opportunity to work
his way out of the present difficul
ties. If they are not made, it is dif
ficult to see how he can benefit from
the plan.
