paper is now used for Federal j
Reserve notes.
This will do away with the ne-
cessity of selling tax-exempt
bonds, in keeping with my pro- j
posed amendment to the Consti-1

wtitute another method just as
the Federal Reserve notes—in
fact, the same character of notes.
This plan will still further re-
duce the interest rates on all
typc*s of farm paper.

small home owners by providing
loans of not to exceed $5,000 at a
rate of interest not to exce-ed two

apply only to existing indebted-
