The debate over high money rates intensifies with economists calling for collateral liquidations while critics blame speculative excess.

STATE TO OPPOSE GRAIN RATE RAISE
Des Moines Iowa May 8 Iowa will make a vigorous fight against proposed increases in interstate freight rates on grain at a hearing before the interstate commerce commission May 14. The objections will be to the preliminary report on tariffs prepared by the commission under the Hack Smith resolution adopted by Congress several years ago.
