Chairman Jesse Jones, of The
Reconstruction Corpora
tion, Makes Appeal
HAS ENDORSEMENT OF
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT
Washington, Aug. 1. ? With the
full approval of President Roose
velt and the Treasury, Chairman
Jones, of the Reconstruction Cor- j
poration, tonight asked the nation's:
banks to aid in the "back to work".{
movement by expanding credit.
At the Same time, Jones asserted,
in an address, that re-payments of j
$710,000,000 of corporations loans i
was evidence that the country was
"inherently sound and recovery well
under way." He said the big lend
lng agency stood ready to inflate
the working capital of the banks by
purchasing preferred stock in sound
ones.
At the conclusion of his speech,!
Jones read a letter from President
Roosevelt endorsing what he said
"fibout the need for credit and
about co-operation in the general
scheme of 'everybody back to
work.' "
Need Credit.
"I congratulate the many bank
ers who have Safely steered their
institutions through the troubles of
the past four years," the President's
letter said, "but credit must be
made available to all classes of our
citizens if business is to be re
established on a permanent work
able basis.
"Your plan to provide banks with
new and added capital, by the pur- j
chase, of preferred stock on such
fair terms as those outlined, will
enable them to extend this credit i
without fear of their positions.
"It is also interesting to know ? |
as the bankers will appreciate ?
that this can be done with no ad
ded tax burden, and at no cost to
the public Treasury."
Jones said there was no shortage
of ready money or bank liquidity,
and that the policy of "forced liqui
dation" of loans should cease and ;
credit should begin moving into
business channels.
"A banker may argue that he has
no applications for loans that he
can afford to make, but that same
banker is probably continuing the
policy of converting his loans into
cash or government securities. Thid
policy of forced liquidation should
cease, and borrowers not only given
time to work out their problems,
but encouraged to take an active
part in the recovery program.
"No one blames a banker for
wanting to be able to pay his de
positors upon demand and I am
not finding fault, but merely call
ing attention to .the fact that if
bank* are to be run on such a
liquid basis as to be able to pay
their depositors on demand, there
will be no credit for business ? and
that" simply stops the work*."
Ready to Help.
Jones said the corporation was
prepared to "match capital dollars
with any sound bank that can use
additional capital to advantage."
"The corporation will do this by
buying preferred stock, to pay 5
per cent cumulative dividend*, pay
able seml-anually out of net earn
ings," he said. "If dividends are
not earned they will accumulate,
but not be payable except from net
earnings."
Jones said a billion dollars, ~ or
even a half billion dollats, of ad
ded bank capital "can be multiplied
many times in the extension of
credit," he added.

Talmadge Sends Protest Mes
sage To Washington On
Behalf Of Farmers
AVERAGE APPEARS TO
BE HIGHER THAN 1932
Atanta, Aug. 1.? An appeal to
President Roosevelt and Secretary
Wallace, protesting against opening
prices for tobacco on some markets
in Gedffeia, was sent from the office
of Governor Eugene Talmadge to
day as the result of complaints by
farmer*.
A mass meeting at Hahira, Ga.t |
in the tobacco belt, sent telegrams
of protest to the President and ag
ricultural secretary, and then the ,
farmers decided to withhold any
further offerings from that market
until they heaur from Washington. ;
G. C. Adams, Georgia commSion- j
er of agriculture, received a tele- j
gram of protest from an Adel meet- I
ing. The commissiAier said he had 1
been informed that low grades of i
tobacco at Adel were selling from
three to six cents, fine grades at
fourteen and some extra fancy
grades at eighteen. He said that
the growers had reason to expect
"that the latter -grades would bring
more than thirty cents a pound." j
High at Douglas.
The commissioner later said that
he had been informed that low
grade tobacco sold at Douglas today
at prices one hundred per cent
more than last year. The average
for lugs, or low grades was reported
at around twelve cents a pound,
with prices ranging from six to
twenty-five cents for largerly low
grade tobacco. "The growers there
were reported highly pleased with
the market," Commissioner AdamS
said.
Prices of irom eleven to sixteen
cents for lugs from several of the
markets were reported to J. P.
Greer, director of the state bureau
of markets. He Said that offerings
generally on the opening day are
from the tobacco leaves which grow
neat* the ground and produce the
lower --gnides. or lugs. The higher
grades of tobacco come from the
)eaves nearer the middle of the
stalk, constituting the bulk of the
tobacco which usually comes on the
market later. ? _ ,
Governor Talmadge was in the
tobacco belt today attending open- |
ing ceremonies at Douglas and Way- j
cross. His office here sent the fol
lowing telegram to Secretary Wal- i
lace and a copy to President Roo- j
sevelt:
"Mass meeting Adel, Ga? com
plaining price tobacco local market. ;
Tobacco buyers, as you know, re- |
ceive instructions as to price to
be paid each day. There are only
a few tobacco manufacturers and
the price paid is determined by
them. Tobaccq belt almost depend
ent upon a living price for tobacco :
this year to avoid disaster. Many
farms will be sold under the ham
mer unless a living price is paid."
The price for tobacco in Georgia >
last year advanced 10.41 cents per
pound. The department of agricul- j
tuTe here estimated that this year's ,
crop would approximate 45,000,000
pounds.
Unofficial reports from Hahira
?aid that prices ranged from 3 to
18 cents, with a very low average.
