Finance corporation In its enttrs
career.
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.

Washington, D. 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.”
