Farmers Going Bankrupt, Says Ex-Congressman Pollard Tells Commission of Agricultural Inquiry That International Credit System Needed. By E. C. SNYDER. Washington Correspondent Omaha Be. ' Washington, July 12. (Special Telegram.) Former Congressman E. M. Pollard of Nebraska, speaking for the National Farmers' union told the joint congressional commis sion of agricultural inquiry at the hearings today that thousands of farmers were going into bankruptcy simply because it was impossible to find credit necessary to market their products. Mr. Pollard suggested that a board and comprehensive system of inter national credit be established. He declared that Europe was not hope lessly bankrupt and it was necessary for the United States to take a chance. "We must dispose of our surplus products and to this end it is nec essary to give long-time credits," said Mr. Pollard. "I believe in the people of Europe. They are thrifty, industrious and will dig themselves out of their present condition if given the encouragement they ought to have." Congressman Ten Eyck, a mem ber of the comission from New York, said he agreed with the views of Mr. Pollard. ., Chairman Sydney Anderson asked the Nebraskan if he had any spe cific remedies to offer. "I should think," said Mr. Pollard, "that it is the business of the com mission to suggest the remedies. We farmers are here to give evidence, to tell you what we know of our in dustry and to co-operate with you in every proper way. But you have access to all the official documents. You can compel the attendance of No Refunds witnesses and can obtain information which is a closed book to the farm ers." The commissioners said they were very anxious to discover the real causes for the present condition of agriculture. Mr. Pollard heartily supported a statement by C. S. Bar rett, president of the National Farm ers' union, that to get at the truth it will be necessary for the com mission to investigate the Chamber of Commerce of the United States, the steel trust, the oil trust, the coal rust, the money trust, and all other great aggregations of capital that are in any way concerned with the dis tribution of farm products.
