ed by the course of nature. As
the ice began to melt, people fol
lowed it back northward. It is
still receding and population is
moving farther northward every
year.
In more recent times the
drou.ght which turned the mid-
Asian plateau into a desert drove
great hordes of Asiatic people
westward into Europe. The
Turks, the Hungarians and the

of that old Asiatic stock.
It is not-likely that any such

will occur in our time, but it is
possible, if the drought con

In the past the treasury’s ef

CRITICISM AS MONEY
ROLLS. INTO COFFERS
Washington, Aug. 8.—-While
few loans are being made to
private Indnst^, as authorised
by Congress, the Reconstruction
Finance corporation, directed by
Jesse Jones, of Texas, is about
the only major activity of thq
go'vernment that Is not under
sharp criticism from partisan
sources.
The corporation is being giv
en considerable prominence, due
to the fact that the flow of mon
ey, Just now, is In repayments
instead of out. In other words,
the loans being made to aid agri
culture, banks and trust com
panies, railroads, mortgage loan
companies, building and loan as
sociations are being repaid more
rapidly than new loans are be
ing made.
Bnsiness Trend Index
In one way operation of the
corporation is a correct index to
the business trend. As a lending
agency It is required by law to
have loans adequately secured.
The heavy borrowers have
been banks and trust companies,
with railroads a good second.
During the fiscal year ending
June 30 the corporation advanc
ed $1,615,000,000 in loans in
excess of the repayments; how
ever, in July it received in re
payments $116,000,000 more'
ahan it loaned. It is not expect
ed that the Inflow of funds will
continue to show an excess over
outgoing loans, but there is be
lief that as payments become
due they will be met promptly.
Canada is larger than the United
States and Alaska combined.
