Most Recent Speeches (Page 4 of 1461)
July 3, 1935
Mr. RHODES:
It would be, except for two reasons. The Farm Loan Act as amended provides for alternative officials so that it does not follow of necessity that the same official
Supply-Miscellaneous
will continue in the office. The other reason is this. I prefer not to put his name here at all because, he is receiving a salary out of proportion to the services rendered and this is a matter of justice to this official.
July 3, 1935
Mr. RHODES:
This represents the amount which it is estimated will be required for the operation of the act during the balance of this fiscal year.
July 3, 1935
Mr. RHODES:
He is a permanent official appointed in virtue of an amendment to the act passed this year.
July 3, 1935
Mr. RHODES:
There can be no objection to the farm loan board, as a matter of convenience, asking another employee, of the government, the official receiver for instance, to keep in his possession and make available to farmers the necessary forms. I can see no objection to that.
July 3, 1935
Mr. RHODES:
It was not as far as I know, but I am .prepared to accept the hon. gentleman's statement. But I have no hesitation in saying ,-jhat no one, neither the official receiver nor anyone else, has the right to tell a farmer that he can secure a loan as a matter of right.
