Hope tn nancing them may awaken the in-- t Bond Issue e r e s t generally that the other part of the measure does, It seems to me that the provision ennbling the Federal Land banks to Issue $2,000,000,000 worth of new bonds holds forth much more promise. The federal government guarantees the Interest on these bonds, and the proceeds of them will be used to make new mortgages or refinance existing mortgages on farm lands. The Federal Land banks are authorized to buy outstanding mortgages from the present holders, or to exchange the new bonds for them, but the law specifies that this must be done on the best possible terms. The plain meaning of this is that the land banks must seek to force a scaling down of the debt wherever possible. It Is believed by many persons that holders of mortgages on which the Interest has not been paid and on which perhaps Installments are overdue, will be willing to reduce the amount of the debt in order to dispose of the mortgage. In other words, the holder of a $,",000 mortgage that Is delinquent is considered as likely to accept something less than that amount If he gets what amounts to a government bond tn Its place, ne knows V'nterest wili Ve paVd.

Many things have happened, some of them of an astounding character. In that time. In the broader perspective, one of the things that has attracted attention of those who look Into the future Is the economic policy that President Roosevelt has fostered. In some respects, the President has been driving bard toward what may be described a economic nationalism. For example, there la the law which he described aa placing the government In partnership with Industry. In other respects, he has sought ends properly described The as economic internationalism. tariff truce and the program for lowering tariff barriers throughout the world constitute proof of this course. I have found It difficult to reconcile the two, yet It has been pointed out to me that the President will be free to follow either course after the forthcoming world economic conference Is ended. If all nations stand hitched, there will be tariff reductions throughout the world; If they do not agree In that conference, Mr. Roosevelt can turn back to economic nationalism. The price parity bill, which I have Just analyzed, Is essentially nation, allstlc, and If It proves successful there will be sufficient unto ourselves. In this connection, the gold embargo should be recalled. While our tariff rates have been high, holders of capital In this country loaned billions nbroad.
