WOULD LOWER INTEREST RATE 9* REPRESENTATIVE FULMKR INTRODUCES Hllilj -TO LIMIT REDISCOUNT RATE TO 5 PER CENT.?WOULD FACILITATE REVIVAL OF , BUSINESS. Washington, June 10.?Commenting upon his bill, recently introduced in the House, to limit the rediscount rate fixed by the Federal Reserve Rank to not over live per cent., Representative H. 4\ Fulmer said: "I believe that if the high rate of rediscount charged by the Federal Reserve Rank is reduced to live per cent, it will do more to bring about , a revival of business than any other one thing we could do. "It is generally pointed out that it will be impossible fo reestablish 1191*ninl conditions ami bring about a revival of agriculture, commerce and industry except by a lowering of the rediscount rate on agricultural and commercial paper to from four and one-half per cent, to five per cent. I believe that such a reduction is a great national necessity, a world necessity, and it is only in this way that prosperity can be promoted in America and that Europe can begin to rehabilitate.

The Ozarkian calmly watched the hustling thousands. Then he turned to his cousin. " "Picnic in town?" he inquired. .
