keep farmer homeowner consideration for investments from savings promised ottawa policies to be pursued ty the boards of review for on tario and quebec under the farm ers creditors arrangement act were outlined in a statement issued hero last week following a confer ence of the two board the act has been in force only a few months but already many farmers have ap plied for adjustment of their debts and it was considered desirable to lay down certain uniform principles for the guidance of the boards of relew and local otllcers under the act among the main objectives set out the boards declare every reasonable effort should be made to coutiue the fanner in the position ot i home owner they declare their intention of giving consideration to securities which represent the investment of savings and thrift but assert their power to adjust both th principal sum and the interest on my mort- it is important the statement says that in making adjustments tie far mer should not only be

act 1931 as legislation intended by parliament to me and to correct difficulties that i develcped in the provinces or ontatio and quebec as between the farmer and his creditors they in terpret the legislation as legislation definitely intended to retain the effi cient producer on the land on terms fair to the farmer and his creditors and retain him on the land in the capacity of a proprietor the boards consider that that farmer should be recognized as a farmer entitled to consideration un der the act who is reasonably en- deatvoring to farm bis land in a pro per manner and who lias been deal ing fairly with his creditors the members of the boards con sider their powers under the act as being very broad while they will give consideration to priorities they none the less desire it emphasized that the terms of the act are so broad that they feel the first and essential consideration in dealing with any meritorious case is the re tention on the land of the farmer on terms fair to himself and his credi tors and on terms calculated to continue him on the land as an effi cient producer conciliation first thought the boards propose to exhaust all efforts at conciliation before for mulating mandatory proposals but debtors and creditors generally should understand that if the part ies do not get together then the boards if in fairness to all concern ed they can formulate a proposal will do so the boards propose giving con sideration to a classification of the various kinds of debts and will bo disposed to give special consideration to those debts in the same classi fication incurred for the necessaries of life or for the efficient production of the land where debts represent unpaid balances in respect ot the luirchase price of chattels or land considered by a board unnecessary to the efficient operation of toe farm unit the creditor will be expected to glvo favorable consideration to tak ing the security back and cancelling the obligation in formulating a proposal it is considered most important that the farmer should be romoved not only from his position of being in default but also he shall not by any proposal formulated by the board be left with obligations such thai theie is likely to be an early return to the default position in dealing with money advanced anil secured by mortgage the boards will give every reasonable consider ation to protecting securities which represent the investment of savings ami thrift but definitely consider it within their power in formulating proposals to adjust if deemed equit able the principal sum of
