Rural credit in the United States urged to stay home
Washington Rural Credit Commission members Senator Ralph Metcalf and Representative Clark Black favor Irish style farm credit run by farmers themselves. Governor Ernest Lister and Commissioner J. H. Perkins back the Irish model, contrasting it with patronage systems in Germany and Hungary. They stress farmer ownership and self management for any land mortgage and short term credit plan, to be finalized in Washington next month.
