if
the farm problem nobody professes to
believe; but it would go a long way
toward preventing a repetition of the
distress which recent droughts have
caused.
Farm Loan Conference
Another topic which has aroused a
great jdeal bf discussion here-4s the
question of the position of the big in
surance companies. It is regard^ as
somewhat unfortunate that this
should have been injected into parti
san politics in the heat of the cam
paign by the remarks of the Republi-.
can candidate for vice-president, Col.
Frank Knox, to the effect that if the
present tendency toward inflation
continued everybody’s life insurance
policies or savings bank accounts
would be reduced in value. The unfor
tunate part is that this has been
taken, in uninformed quarters, to
mean that Mr. Knox believes that
the insurance companies and the sav
ings banks are not in a sound posi
tion.
President Roosevelt’s summoning of
seven life insurance presidents to the
White House was not a result of Col.
Knox’s statement. The invitations for
them to discuss the whole insurance-
situation had gone out before the
vice-presidential candidate’s speech.
What Mr. Roosevelt discussed with
the insurance men was mainly the
subject of mortgage loans, especially
on farm properties, in which a high
peixrentage of insurance company in
vestments are made. It was an explor
atory talk for the purpose of seeing
pens when they reach Columbia? Is
there too much social life? Is there
anything lacking in the coaching
staff? Something is wrong but the
diagnosis is, hard to make. Billy La
val couldn’t remedy it. Coach Don
McCallipter has had little success
thoogh-' he - has* vrorked 'tire
lessly with his team. To see the I
team one gets tfie impression that it
s.hould be one of unlimited strength
but to see them in action, the im
pression gotten is just the opposite,
except against teams that are great
ly* lacking in reserve strength. This
reminiscing isn’t 'supposed to take
any c^dit from V. M. I.’s well bal
anced team of this year nor of Clem-
son’s team of last year, for they were
and still are, good. It is yet too
early to foresee a disastrous season
for the Gamecocks, but that,is just
the appearancj»3 if something does
not take place. Should the team be
gin to coordinate a successful season
can still be had by Carolina.
P. C. is back at‘home after a good
but unsuccessful battle against a
very strong Georgia T^h team. The
Techsters are one of, if not ’ the
strongest teams in the nation and
are already holding high hopes for a
trip to the Rose Bowl. It is no re
flection on the Presbyterian team to
be. decisively beaten by a team such
as Tech. The Blue Hose are to en
joy a week-end ~bf rest from battle
this week but not a rest from prac
tice. Coach Johnson is drilling his
tfam daily to iron out the kinks in
his machine. This rest period ‘ will
allow the injured to be in shape for
what we hope will be a successful
remainder of the current season.
The continued good punting of Cap
tain Jacobs leaves “Coach” with liU
tie worries in this department.
some sort of an agreement upon keep
ing loan levels at"a reasonable rela
tion to the easing power of farm
properties, rathir than on the basis of
their possible sale value.
It is generally recognized that a
great deal of the farm mortgage dif
ficulties in the West have their roots
in mortgage loans made on the high
ly speculative values that prevailed
during the early and middle 1929’s.
The Tkfdnoihic Situation
It is not known that the subject of
inflation was discussed by the presi
dent and the insurance heads. It is
being discussed, though, by thosq con
cerned with the economic future. And
it is known that the system under
which the government has been mak-
ing lfu>n« frnpi
in increasing^ of bank credits beyond
the present ability of bi^iness to uti

When a bank takes $100,000 of govf

checking acco.unt for the government
to the dollar value of the bond pur
chase, that m|ans that new money, in
the form of bank credit, has been cre
ated. This new money is cheap money,
in the sense that there is more of it
than there is a current demand for,
and cheap money always' nteans high
prices.
There is nothing in the present sit
