His conclusions, shocking to an alarming degree, contain such statements as this one - " . we stand confronted with the most serious problem in the realm o! public opinion which has yet faced this nation. "And this one, ” . . . unless our general attitude is al tered, this war will not culminate in peace.” And this one, “Amer p an p ipifiar apiiliqn ’Jia.,s been profoundly influenced in a direc tion which seems to me anti-dem ocratic ...” In almost every lar ge industrial center that he visit ed he found some men preaching in a manner “to incite in people angry resentment against almost all persons and groups now striv ing to improve the world.” He heard them say that liberals, la bor leaders and Negroes, among' others, are “the chief enemies *f our tinie.” He heard one speaker “denounce contemptuously all ef forts to bring about interfaith col laboration.” Anyone who will take the trouble to study what the Nazis said preceding - and since - their rise to power in 193:5, will discover that they said precisely the same thing!

Parker said that farm real es tate values in Smith Carolina Tennessee and Kentucky have in creased from 60 to 100 per cent in the past six years. In the Nation, he said, the in-1 crease in values was about 15 per cent from July, 1943, to July, 194. with the increase during tin past four months around one third as large as that from Nov entber, 1943, to March, 1944. While the value of farm land in the South Atlantic states is 48 points above the United States index of 100 set up in 1912-14, the increase for the Nation is only 17 points above this average, accord ing to Parker. “The volume Of voluntary suite during the 12 months ended it March was up one ifth from tin previous year and the highest oi record, going above the 1919 peal hy about 10 per • -••nt. “The proportion of sales hj owner operators has increased t< iust over two fifths of all sale* farmers bought approximately two thirds of all tracts transfer!’, ed, and a substantial net move ment of land into owner operatic! continued.

As a group, active farmers are buying somewhat over 50 pe* cent more land than they are sell ing,” asserted Parker. Scott Asks Increas In N.C.

We Are Making New Loans People sometimes ask “Is the Federal Land Bank still making loans?” The answer is “YES”. The Bank is making loans every day to worthy farmers through the local National Farm Loan Associations to refinance indebtedness, make improvements, purchase farm equipment, and to buy farms. The present rate of interest is 4 percent. \\(hile loans are usually made for terms from twenty (20) to thirty (30) years, all or any part of the loan may be repaid at any time. If you know of any good farmers who need loans, won’t you sug gest to them that they consult the Secretary-Treasurer of the local Farm Loan Association on their credit needs? He will be glad to explain our loan service and show how it can be fitted to their credit needs. The Bank will appreciate your help in getting more farmers acquanted with our cooperative farm credit system. You can do this by listing the names of any farmers who might be interested and sending it to t|he Secretary Treasurer of !h'> local Farm Loan Association. Your name will not be mentioned in any contacts the Secretary-Treasurer may make with these farmers. In doing this, you will be helping your neighbor-farmers and at the same time helping to maintain our cooperative farm loan system which is operated solely for the benefit of farmers. THANK YOU!
