Crushing Farmers These were destroying the hopes of thousands of farmers, 1nan_~,- Oi whom will lose their 1'arms; remov- ing the majority of prospective pur- chasers of farms who looked to the Government for a loan to complete their purchase from the market, thereby driving the extremely low values of farm property still iowcr; and, thirdly, making still more di1"ii- cult the securing of [J1 1\'L1i'C loans." For these reasons the Government must be severely condemned. He comniended the reducing or In- terest rates, economy measures and reported concern of Government members for agriculture.
