Loans granted to farmers by the State Advances Corporation for the improvement of property or the increasing of stock rank equally with any existing first mortgage, according to a reply given by the Minister in charge of the State Advances Corporation, the Hon. H. T. Armstrong, in the House of Representatives today, to a question by Mr D. C. Kidd (Opposition—Waitaki).

Mr Armstrong added, a con- : ference was held by the corporation with representatives of the banks and ; the stock firms, and the Government’s proposals, which had been given: lesislative effect, were considered by j the banks and stock firms’ represen- | tatives to be fair and equitable. The
result was that no difficulty had been anticipated in securing the active cooperation of those interests. An assurance had been given, in fact, that the banks and stock firms would cooperate to the full with the Government.
