The R. F. C. holds power of life and death over many of the country’s banks, and In the recent era of bank ^ failures went to the rescue of more than 4,000 of them with loans of more than 1800,000,000. It la the overlord of a $1,500,000,000 construction fund which if fully used, might make Jobs for 2,000,000 men. Ry lending funds to hold stored cot ton off the market, It has buttressed cotton prices so the farmer may get niore for his crop, and begin to buy clothing, furniture and farm ma chinery, \ All these things the corporation achieves with pieces of paper, but pa per backed by the vast credit of the United States government. It author- ires a borrower, whether a state, a big city bank, or a struggling building and loan assoclatloli, to draW" upon the treasury. The treasury raises the funds by selling to investors its notes or cer tificates. It accepts from the corpor ation It.' F. C. debentures, or prom ises to pay. When the It. F. C. ulti mately collects the loans It has made, It will pay off these debentures. Mean while the R. F. 0. holds as security for its loans the mortgages or other assets —some of them “frozen”—It has taken from its borrowers’ collateral. How Loans Are Made. Scattered over the country It has S2 local agencies, each with a mana ger and a volunteer advisory commit tee of bankers and business men. A force of examiners at R. F. C. headquarters here checks up the loan application and makes its recommend ation. A board qf review, above the examiners, does likewise. Then the application goes to the R. F C.’s seven directors for approval or rejection. Money for relief, or for construc tion projects, Is obtained in somewhat the same way. A relief director, who lias a small field Investigating force, canvasses all applications thoroughly before they go to the directors for ac- TIoTT — A new branch Is in process of crea tion to lend u hand to the farmer. Many farmers have a surplus of grain, much live stock and plenty of debts, hut no money and no credit. If com pelled to pay their debts at once, they must butcher their live stock at ruin ous prices. The pluu is to tide them over with "feeder" loans. They will feed part of their grain to the live stock, which will he sold only after it has been fattened. QUARTERLY REPORT E. 0.

C., April 15.— It became known here today that at a conference between Postmaster General Farley and members of the Congressii nu' National Conmtittee, Representative Fulmer representing S uth Carolina, Farley told the Democratic Congressmen that he is now ready, and will at an early date- oegin a movement u> turn Republicans out of office when n t protected by the rules of the Civil Scivice Cummis- .-i. n. Recently this committee met in re- sp< n.-e trrthe heavy demand on them for positi n< from bona fide Demo- ciats v ho demanded not only to know why there are approximately 100.000 R pul»lican s cn :1k* Government rolls without a civil service status, hut that they be i usteJ summatjly and these pj7ir n s given to .-UppdiTer.s and-tvork- ers for the Rcosevelt-Garner ticket at : he N No vein be r election. Farky told the committee that caked cn him today that he i s n t on'y prepared to take initial steps ta turn ihe Republicans out, but that a lair and equitable adjustment far all of the States will be made so that a large State like New York cannot get more p si*ion., than it is entitled to icieivo. its size being taken into const ie ration. - It was also Farle"y’ s statement that a policy system whereby patpppage matters would be smoothly handled in every Sta'e is now under preparn- ti n and will soon be announced. The fact that nearly 100,1)00 Repub licans are soon to have the light thrown in their faces and forced out on the limb and to be succeeded by an equal number cf worthy Demo crats, was pleasing to the Congress men. “Farley also told us,” they said, ‘that he i s prepared to fill Republican political jobs with efficient Demo crats and that the latter may have no doubt that they are soon going to get on the government pay rolls, wherever that loyalty and efficiency may be shown.” ADVERTISE IN The People- Sentinel. 123 124 125 126 127 128 129 130 131 132 133 134 135 136 137 138 139 140 141 142 143 144 145 146 147 148 149 150 151 152 153 154 155 156 157 158 159 160 TFT 162 163 164 165 166 167 168 169 170 171 172 173 174 175 176 177 178 179 180 181 182 183 184 18.')
