WM. G. McADi
TH
William Gibbes .McAdoo, former
secreiar;. of t;ie treasury, recently
i gave out the following statement of
his views on the present financial con-(
dition of the country:
As I see the situation, the country
cannot look with indifference upon
the distressing situation in which the
farmers find themselves because of
the tremendous shrinkage in the value
of agricultural products. cannot
excuse inaction nor dismiss the matt
a-r w i t V? ti rvhcovvatinn flint dp
I t vj-x >>11.11 ci ax\.i \/ v v a?w v x. ^ j
fiation is necessary, and that farmers
must, take their medicine along with
the rest of the country. The farm
industry is basic to the life of the
nation, and possesses a superior claim
to'-consideration, not alone because
its prosperity is our best protection,
but also because the farmer, by the
very nature of his business, is more
exposed to adverse influences and has
less protection against them than any
other class. The bulk of his crop
matures at the same time and if forced
upon the market all at once or in
a short period he may not realize even
the cost of production.
To have a chance to make a fair
profit he must have credit to carry
his crop for a reasonable time. He
must have ample, economical and
prompt railroad transportation to get
his croD to market at the times when!
i
he can sell advantageously, and he!
must have sufficient, convenient and !
roasnnahlv rdipnn storaae facilities fori
the conservation of his crop while \
waiting for a favorable market.
It is in the highest degree to the j
i
interest of the people as a whole that j
the farmers shall have these facilities
and opportunities so that speculation j
ana greed may not thrive on his mis-j
fortune on the one hand, and that j
the consumer may not suffer from the
extortion of profiteers on the other, j
When colossal losses like those the!
farmers are now sustaining overtake i
them, every line of industry suffers.:
factories close, business shrinks, la- j
bor is thrown out of employment, and j
confidence is seriously shaken. We j
are already experiencing these un- j
happy consequences. . I
I
. Of course prices in the United
States could not be kept permanently j
011 an inflated and artificial 'basis.!
Deflation was necessary and inevita-;
ble but the processes of deflation are
frequently more dangerous than the j
processes of inflation. It is easier
to climb trees than to come down. For
this very reason the readjustments
through which all industry and business
are now going must be dealt
with intelligently, and eased in every
reasonable way. It is the imperative
duty of those in civil authority
and of those who control credit to
exercise their powers so as to prevent
needless distress and preserve confidence.
I am frank to say that I think that
the policies thus far pursued with respect
to credits have been too dras~
... 1, Vi T o tvi crli t
lie, UUl U IICLHCI Ul 11UI X exxxx x i?ai, am
sure that the situation should
now be reviewed in the light of existing
conditions. A more liberal policy
about credits should be put into
effect immediately. I think that the
reserve bank rates could be prudently
reduced and that member banks could
be safely encouraged to make loans
on agricultural products and to busi-;
ness generally on reasonable time to
those who can give adequate security,
and that the whole situation would
be beneficially affected by this procedure.
Every intelligent person sympathizes
with the effort to prevent speculation
and the use of credit for purposes
not beneficial to the general interest,
but a wise discrimination
should be exercised, and certainly the
primary producer like the farmer
should not be forced to bear the brunt
of the sacrifices.
In many parts of the country, especially
in the agricultural districts,
credit is almost entirely wanting and
in many lines of legitimate business
great losses are being sustained because
of the restriction of credits.
The point I wish to impress is that
deflation has been carried so far and
with such rapidity that we must now
, reconsider the situation, make an
effort to prevent further distress and
suffering, and bring about a revival
of industry and confidence.
With this in view, we should make
\ every effort to stimulate and enlarge
our export trade. This is especially
important to the farmers because approximately
f>0 per cent of our export
trade represents agricultural
I products. European nations desire
! our cotton, grain and other products,
J but have no credit. It is to our interest
to supply that credit. I therefore
think that the revival of the
war finance corporation is highiy desirable.
I believe that it can exer|
c-ise an immensely beneficial influence
i upon the export trade if it is operated
1 on a sound and liberal basis,
l
DO ON
E SITU A TION
Tiie recent action of the ieayne of
nations at Geneva for the establishment
of an international commission
to consolidate the credits of some of
tlie central European powers and utilize
them in the purchase of American
commodities, is an im] ortant step and
offers a new opportunity for helpful
service by the war finance corporation.
r^veiv lniiuciivc ui 111c ci naicui
should lie promptly exerted to secure
a prompt determination of the
amount of the German indemnity. So
long as this question remains unsettled,
it is undoubtedly true that there
can be economic rehabilitation of
Germany and of the central powers,
and so long as this continues their
credit and buying power is reduced
to a minimum.
If the German indemnity were fixed,
it would enormously help the economic
situation throughout the world
an immediate market would be opened
for American food, cotton, and
manufactured products which would
not only relieve great suffering in Europe,
but redound to our own prosperity.
It is a great pity that the
peace treaty was not ratified promptly,
as this would have put an American
representative on the repatriations
commission and would have enabled
our government long since to
have brought about a settlement of
the German indemnity with benefit
to the entire world.
I have long been convinced we
ought to reestablish trade relations
with Russia, it is not necessary to
recognize the soviet government, to
do this. Why should we refuse to let
people in distress in Russia or elsewhere
buy our products, if they can
pay for them, no matter what form
of government they may choose for
themselves We have always stood
for the right of peoples to determine
their own form of government and 1
must say I have never been able to
see any reason for our stand that we
must not-trade with Russia because
I we do not like or do not recognize
I her existing government. The open|
ing up of Russian trade?and 1 am
sure that it can be accomplished under
conditions that will reasonably
I
protect our citizens?would be very
| helpful to our business situation.
| Of course, taxes ought to be readI
justed and reduced. Last March I
| publicly advocated funding a large
i part of our floating debt. This could
j be done, and should be done, so that
I its pressure may be taken off of tie
American people, ana especially off
of business at this time of unavoidable
readjustment. The tax burden
| should be lightened and can easily
I be by funding two billion dollars of
j the floating debt during the next two
years. Why should we continue high
taxes merely because a relatively few
people think it sounder policy to compel
the present generation to pay still
more of the war cost than to pass a
reasonable amount of it on to future
! generations?
Unfortunately the present congress
! has refused for two years to do anyi
thing to relieve the tax burden or to
! prepare for tills inevitable period of
i readjustment. Taxes should be reduced
at this session of congress.
There is no excuse for delay. It is
essential that the business interests
of the country know at the beginning
instead of at the end of the year the
basis upon which business must be
conducted so far as taxation is con
cerned, and be able to go forward
with certainty and confidence. One
j of the grievous faults of the tax legI
islation of the last several years was
its enactment by the congress at the
end of the year with retroactive effect
for the entire year.
The congress should address itself
unsparingly to economy in expenditures.
Genuine economies can be
effected by intelligent investigation
and legislation. The responsibilty,
however, rests upon congress itself,
because it controls the purse-strings
| and, therefore, has the power to limit
i expenditures. The congress should
no longer make gifts or authorize
loans directly from the public treasury
to any class or business in this
country. I refer particularly to the
gift of $654,000,000 made by the
present congress to the railroad corporations
and to the $300,000,000
which the present congress directed
the treasury to lend to railroad corporations
at six per cent, interest.
Whv should the neople of the United
i !
States be taxed to make sifts to railj
road companies, aggregating $054.J
000.000, when we are already over
|burdened with taxes for purposes
which we cannot escape? There is
no justification for policies like these.
The only way to effectively reduce
our tax bill is to cut down our army
and navy appropriations. Tf we had
joined the league of nations, that
promised the most immediate and
successful way of reducing armaments
with safey to all nations con

Not To Be Beaten.
An Alabama (larky, who prided
himself 011 being able to play any
tune on the banjo after he had heard
it once, perched himself 011 the side
of a hill on one Sunday morning and
began to pick the strings in a workmanlike
manner.
It chanced that the minister came
along. Going up to Moses he demanded
harshly: "Moses, do you know
the Ten Commandments?"
Moses scratched his chin for a
moment, and then, in an equally
harsh voice, said:
"Parson, jest yo' whistle the first
three or four bars, and I'll have a try
at it."
Only One, After All.
Student, farmer, author, politician
and reformer, Sir Horace Plunkett
is one of the most versatile of Ireland's
sons.^ He is very witty also.
, On one occasion he delivered a lecture
in Dublin on the best way to improve
the condition among the poor. At
j that time he was not exactly a fin
| isnea speaker, ana men, as nuu, a
bachelor.
The day following his address he
received from a lady a note, which
read: "What you need are two things
?first, a wife; second, lessons in elocution."
To this he replied: "These
are only one."

cerned. But since we have not joined
i the league, I think Senator Borah's
suggestions for an immediate agreement
with England and Japan for a
limitation of naval expenditures is
I valuable and that such an agreement
| ought to be reached, if possible. This
would be a practical step in the right
direction, even though not a thori
| oughly satsfactory one. The fact that
the suggestion emanates from a Republican
who has been a consistent
opponent of the league and that it
is utterly inconsistent with his previous
asertion that agreements of ths
kind are a surrender of sovereignty,
makes no difference.
I am opposed to increased taxes on
moderate incomes. Already these incomes
are bearing a larger proportion
of taxation than is justified. A
radical revision of the war income
taxes is essential to the prosperity of
the country, and in that revision the
moderate income tax payer must have
his burdens reduced instead of increased.
To sum up, I should say that a more

ought now to be pursued; that our
foreign trade should be stimulated
and enlarged; that the war finance
corporation should be revived to assist
it; that the German indemnity
should be defined as quickly as possible
so that the central European markets
may be opened to our farmers,
manufacturers and busness men; that
trade relations with Russia should be
resumed as promptly as possible; that
a large part of the floating debt of
the treasury should be funded; and
that taxation ought to be reduced and
readjusted at this session of the congress.
