Livestock Credit and Policy Talk Asks Government Aid
More than 100 bankers, packers and grain men met in Chicago to press for federal help to preserve the livestock industry. They urged the Interstate Commerce Commission to grant grain priority, appeal to banks to finance stockraising, and ask Treasury to fund loans in livestock regions. A delegation from major reserve banks will meet the Federal Reserve Board in Washington on Sept 20-21 to discuss conditions. A second committee will plan financing for young livestock in the West to address shortages. Louis Swift predicted lower meat prices and said improved crops may push corn to 75 cents per bushel.
