(?'iviiii; the Farmer Credit
BETWEEN Comptroller of the Curreucy
Crissinger and Governor Harding, of
the Federal Reserve Hoard, there soetns to
be growing a unanimity of opinion in re
spect to ttio liberal treatment that should
be accorded to the farmers in the matter
of credit, that did not exist a few months
ago. In justice to the comptroller it should
l?t- said that if there has been a changing
of viewpoint it has not been ,on his part,
hut that of Governor Harding. While agreed
that farming is basic, and the country's pros
p< ritv now depends on sutlicientlv liberal
credits to the farmers, they still are far
apart as to what effect the "deflation of the
currency" policy of the board had on agri
culture and ?>?? business generally. Speak
ing recently at Cleveland. Ohio. Mr. Crissin
ger said:
l i.iiui >t : oo cn>plititic.ill\ say that I
? !?. si->t ln'ti.'vo dfthiti?ii tn currency and
r. ? ii:ti can go hanii :n hand with a re

n'vt r h.dfelh w <
Therein M r Crissinger's views coincide
with those of Mr. Williams, whom he sm'
ceedel as comptroller, anil to whose criti
cisms of the work of the Reserve Hoard
the present congressional investigation of
its operations is largely due. Hut. while
Mr. Harding, in his testimony before the
congressional hearing, upholds the post-war
policy of the board and defends it as the
savior of agriculture and business generally
against the charge that it brought stagna
tion and distress, his attitude toward the
farmers as expressed in recent addresses
and interviews seems strangely new. It is
recalled that during the latter part of the
Wilson administration a committee of hard
pressed farmers called upon Mr. Harding
seeking credit relief and heard this from
him: "You are here howling for money
to enable you to hold your crops and
profiteer on the public. You do not deserve
any such consideration. You do not do- ,
serve the money and you are not going to
get it."
But what a changed Harding it is that
now "appeals" to the bankers for a more
lihfal policy to the fanners Before the
congressional committee he has defended
11.Reserv* Hoard policy as almost pater
nalistic in its tenderness for the farmers'
welfare, while in a recent interview and in
an address at New York he said:
