WILL LEND MONEY 10 BANKSJF STATE DIRECTOR McLEAN OF THE WAR FINANCE CORPORATION SAYS MONEY IS AVAILABLE. TO SIGN CONTRACT URGED How the W^r Finance Corporation May Help Bankers of State and ThrouQh Tham Help Farmers. Columbia. "How the War Finance Corporation May Help the Bankers of South Carolina and Through Them Help the Farmers, was explained in a talk delivered at the Jefferson hotel by A. W. McLean of Washington, a director of the finance corporation, to the members of the executive council of the South Carolina Bankers' association. Mr. McLean explained at some length what the war finance corporation hoped to do at the present time; he told in detail how the bankers of the state could make applications for loans to the loan committee whose headquarters for South Carolina are at the Palmetteo bank building in Columbia; he discussed securities, told how the applications were approved, how soon the money became available and answered many questions with regard to the organization. The speaker was presented to the bankers by P. Matthews, chairman of the agricultural loan committee for South Carolina. He said at the.outset that his visit to this state was for the purpose of informing the bankers as to the possibilities for relief from "tight money," which lie in the war finande corporation, and he expressed the hope that the bankers of the state woud not let the opoprtunity of getting money to lend to farmers to pass by unimproved. Mr. McLean said it was the patriotic duty of the bankers to assist the farmers as much as possible at the present time, atnd he called on them to co-operate whole-heartedly with the war finance corporation in efforts to bring relief. The war finance corporation has the money, hp said; it is willing 10 lend it to banks on properly filled out application; the banks need it for the fanners, and the duty of the banks 1b to find out about the applications, securities and other formalities and thus nrocure the money. The address was heard with close attention and it was the consensus of opinion that the operation of the war finance corporation, through the local committee do much to bring financial relief in South Carolina. A motion was passed to the effect that group meetings of bankers be held over the state. < J. H. Craig, secretary of the bankers' association, will write to the chairman of the various groups and with them will arrange a time of meeting The members of the agricultural loan committee in South Carolina are: J. P. Matthews, Columbia, chairman; R. I. Manning, Columbia; William Barnwell, Columbia; J. C. Self, Greenwood; H. L. McColl, Bennettsville; E. H. Pringle, Jr., Charleston. At the meeting of the executive council of the bankers' association, which was held prior to the meeting with Mr. McLean, the pan of the South Carolina Cotton Growers' Cooperative association was endorsed. The resolution read, in part: "We urge every farmer to sign the contract business men of the state to assist in the campaign for the necessary number of signatures to make the contract operative."
