Readjustment Of Farm Liens Urged By Senator Borah
Idaho Senator William Borah urged scaling down farm mortgages and lowering interest rates as necessary to restore farming viability. He tied the Midwest farm strike to widespread price deflation and rising taxes, warning that without voluntary or forced readjustment foreclosures and bankruptcy threaten the agricultural structure. He estimated total indebtedness near 12 to 25 billion and called relief plans absent from political platforms insufficient. He argued lower rates and scaled balances serve both creditor and debtor interests and benefit the nation.
