Active Discussion in London. The plan for an American ton first was disclosed early in en Associated Press dispatch from London, where the proposal has been activeAy under discussion.

He insisted that the government wanted the cities and the University of Minnesota to be the beneficiaries and the Municipal Electric corporation would be breaking faith it the power passed into private hands.

He looked upon Ford as offering 3 veritable industrial renaissance LO the Northwest. 50-50 Split Is Urged.

Plans for use of the high dam power as offered by the mayors were: Leach--To split all power eyenly between each city and let each use its share as it sees fit.

Nor. beck, Republican, of South Dakota, late today introduced for consideration a revised farm credits bill expanding his former tentative measure and making the farm loan system the vehicle for extension of agricultural credits, after the Senate banking committee had spent the greater part of the day listening to arguments by Senator Norbeck and Senator Simmons of North Carolina in support of their respective credit measures.

Opposing the South Dakota and North Carolina members of the upper house was Gray Silver, representing the American Farm Bureau federation, who did not agree with the on some points of administration. Chief senators, among the suggestions advocated by the senators was a credit system independent of the Federal Reserve sys- Mr. Silver contended that present troubles were chiefly due to the fact that short time credit forced the farmers to sell their crops and that the senators making provisions for loans that cover only the period in which the farmer was making his crap would fail to remedy conditions. He argued for an intermediate credit system to supplement, the present farm loan, machinery rather than to run in competition to it. Senator Norbeck suggested that cultural credit machinery might be made a bureau of the War Finance cor- poration.
